Revolutionizing Coffee Brewing: The Iberital Vision

Andreu Carulla's Iberital Vision: A Healthy, Sustainable, and Connected Espresso Machine

The Iberital Vision is a product of teamwork between the design team and the engineering team, with partial funding from the Horizon 2020 SME Instrument program by the EU agency for SMEs, EASME. The machine is designed for use in coffee shops, restaurants, cafeterias, and hotels, where it brings a new level of quality and control to the brewing process.

What sets the Iberital Vision apart is its unique design of the hydraulic circuits, electronic controls, sensors and actuators, use of new materials, and state-of-the-art human-machine interface. It also boasts the best features for a professional espresso coffee machine, including a multiboiler design for coffee with independent programmable group temperature, brewing temperature stability and repeatability, and a stepper motor gear pump for flow and pressure profiling during brewing.

The machine is also energy efficient, reducing power consumption by up to 50% through various means such as reducing energy loss by isolating boilers and tubes, optimizing boiler sizes and heating elements, and using smart algorithms with predictive heating. The machine also features a custom communication module that can connect either via wifi or via a 2G mobile network to an IoT server platform that collects data from the machine and can send settings and orders to it.

The Iberital Vision is available in three versions: 2-group, 3-group, and 1-group, with dimensions of 840 x 600 x 400, 1050 x 600 x 400, and 515 x 600 x 400 respectively. The machine's design is simple yet effective, focusing the user's attention on the functional elements and making it intuitive and easy to use. The machine is also customizable, allowing it to fit perfectly into any space.

Andreu Carulla's Iberital Vision is a testament to the power of design and innovation in the world of coffee brewing. Its unique features and capabilities set a new standard in the industry, and its award of Platinum in the A' Prosumer Products, Tools, and Machinery Design Award in 2018 is a testament to its excellence. The Iberital Vision is not just a coffee machine, but a revolution in the way we brew and enjoy our coffee.
