A dynamic Company
Born under the sign
of innovation
Dalla Corte has started a new, important chapter in the evolution of espresso machines with its
multi-boiler technology. Innovation has been constant over time, complying with the best “proof of
taste”.
Dalla Corte is a young, dynamic and innovative Company, thanks to its founders’ long
experience and total commitment to the objective of a constantly perfect espresso.
It all began in 1947, when a 18-year old Bruno Dalla Corte started working on professional
espresso machines. He understood and elaborated their technology, contributing to the development
(in 1961) of an innovative system that ensured great thermal stability and therefore a final product
with constant characteristics.
Subsequently, he was joined by his son Paolo, with whom he shared the passion for technology
and the pleasure of research to find innovative solutions: together, father and son looked to the
future, to the perfect espresso machine.
In 2001 Dalla Corte Srl was founded in via Candiani, Milan, and innovation has been the
distinguishing trait of its production ever since.
Machines and technologies
Evolution was the first machine to be produced in the Milan plant. Its most innovative element was
the independence of boiler and brewing units.
Cold water flowing to each group is heated according to set parameters before coming into
contact with ground coffee. This way, the boiler is not subject to overwork when it has to produce
many coffees and cappuccinos and, most importantly, the right temperature is ensured during
each extraction, thus producing a constant quality product.
This technology – nowadays adopted by most manufacturers – implied great energy efficiency and
Dalla Corte decided to have it certified and recorded by IMQ – the Italian institute for quality
certification: consumptions were real and so were energy savings.
In 2005 the GCS – Grind System Control – was created, allowing the dialogue between espresso
machine and coffee grinder through a serial connection: the espresso machine orders the
grinder how to adjust the grind in order to obtain a constantly high-quality coffee. A taste of

future!
Other records held by Dalla Corte are the digital programming and control of each machine
part; the management of various operating parameters via the web; the automatic system for
producing a constantly dense and creamy milk foam.
The high quality of the Evolution machine was confirmed in 2006: once it had passed the strict
international tests imposed by SCAA and SCAE – Speciality Coffee Association of America and
Europe –, it was the official machine for the world finals of World Latte Arte and World Coffee
in Good Spirits for three years. Subsequently, thanks to new tests and a new promotion, dc pro
was chosen as official machine for the finals of the two categories from 2012 to 2014.
In 2009 the new dc pro machine was produced. Its is characterized by an innovative and ergonomic
design and by improved standards: the mass of each group has been increased of the 20% to
ensure better thermal stability also during prolonged extractions; the system ensuring energy
efficiency has been improved of over the 10% with the LPS system – Low Power System, which
lowers boiler temperature when the device is in stand-by. The machine is 100% recyclable.
In December 2010 the manufacturing was moved to a new, 2000 square meters plant in Baranzate,
in Milan outskirts, where 30 people work, led by Paolo and Elsa Dalla Corte.
Dalla Corte exports over the 90% of its production to Europe, America, Asia and Japan.
For small selling points, caterings, work places, home use, the Company offers one-group mini
and super-mini coffee machines with a pleasant design and, most importantly, based on the same
technology of professional machines, which ensures an extraction of constantly perfect espressos.
The “made in DC” grinder
In 2011, dc one coffee grinder – entirely manufactured by Dalla Corte – was put on the market: the
particular design of burr blades provides the ideal grind and the dialogue with the machine allows
constant grind control and adjustment, and therefore the best espresso extraction under any
conditions.
Innovation went on also in 2012 with an extra evolution of the GCS – Grinder Control System, the
grind control program creating a system between espresso machine and grinder: the new function
recognizes automatically if coffee comes from a connected on demand grinder or from another
source (a different manual decaf grinder, a pre-ground coffee sachet or pod); in this case, the
machine dialogue system with coffee grinder won’t record the extraction time nor interact with the
coffee grinder.

Furthermore, in the dc pro machine each group can be connected with one different dc one
grinder: if different blends or single origins are used, the right temperature and grind parameters
for each extraction will be respected.
Year after year, Paolo Dalla Corte’s strategic vision and will to innovate provide Dalla Corte’s
customers with excellence for the preparation – under any conditions – of a perfect espresso that’s
up to the most demanding “proof of taste”.
...and the search for excellence continues....
