The La Cimbali S-Lite with 8-litre tank is the ideal choice for businesses that need greater capacity without sacrificing the sleek, compact design the S-Lite range is known for. Created for environments where space is limited but coffee quality remains essential, this fully automatic machine combines efficiency, flexibility and Italian style.
Despite its small footprint, the S-Lite is built for busy service. A 10.1” intuitive touchscreen makes operation simple for both staff and customers, while the customisable interface allows your brand identity to shine through with personalised logos, screensavers and icons.
The larger 8-litre manual-fill tank means fewer refills and greater independence from mains water, though a direct water connection kit is available for those who prefer uninterrupted service. Offices, cafés, restaurants and retail spaces will all appreciate its plug & play design with no installation hassle.
Connectivity comes as standard, with integrated Wi-Fi and USB ports for easy updates, recipe downloads and compatibility with La Cimbali’s Cup4You app – enabling remote management of multiple machines simultaneously.
Maintenance is effortless thanks to the Automatic Washing System (AWS), ensuring consistent hygiene and reliable performance. Pairing with LaCimbali cleaning products offers even more reassurance.
Finished with La Cimbali’s signature design and adaptive LED lighting, the S-Lite combines style with substance, proving that compact machines can still deliver on a larger scale.

Installation & Setup
This S-Lite is supplied with an 8L manual-fill water tank, meaning there is no requirement to connect directly to the mains. The machine is equipped with a coffee bean hopper only; if milk-based drinks are required, the milk fridge must be added separately.
The S-Lite is provided as a boxed unit only. Installation is not included unless purchased alongside the machine. We strongly recommend reviewing the user guides to ensure you are confident in setting up the machine yourself if you choose not to opt for professional installation.
Service Contract
This coffee machine is supplied with a 12-month parts warranty as standard, covering replacement components but excluding labour and call out costs. For ongoing technical support, a labour warranty is required, which also includes a 6-month service within the first 12 months. The labour warranty can be extended upon completion for continued peace of mind.
Installation and a service contract is managed directly by La Cimbali, ensuring their specialist team can support you on an ongoing basis.
