Thanks to Storm, the bartender is free to express himself and his capacity for experimentation through simple and comfortable actions.

Storm is research on the values ​​that have been lost over time but re-emerged thanks to a new cultural and artisanal approach, which spread rapidly in the world. The coffee dispensed is at the center of every care. The barman's gestures are protagonists of the scene and have a highly symbolic value. The relationship between those who are at the machine and who will savor coffee, is revolutionized: the bartender who has chosen, with an almost maniacal dedication, variety of beans, toasting and extraction, can offer ritual preparation and storytelling.

Innovation and practicality:

The suspended basin, completely innovative, brings to the fore a formal aspect such as the tray, on which the cup rests during the extraction. In fact, the cup is no longer hidden by the machine but rests on a plate, almost like a first woman on the stage. This design also produces effects under the practical aspect because the basin is, with its rounded lines, very easy to clean.
