History of UNIC Espresso

Established in 1919 by Italian engineer Mario Levi, UNIC has been a trailblazer in the coffee machine industry. Levi's innovative spirit was first epitomized in the Idrotermica machine, which could automatically roast, grind, and brew coffee—the dawn of bean-to-cup technology.

By 1928, Levi had founded the UNIC brand and launched a manufacturing plant in Nice, France. From its humble beginnings as a family-run business, UNIC has grown into a leading manufacturer of both traditional and super-automatic espresso machines.
