Description

Description

Style and functionality are the two main features of Ariete's Moderna Line and are perfectly showcased in this coffee machine. The sleek lines, refined design, and ease of use make this espresso machine a must-have for true coffee connoisseurs who know how to appreciate the unmistakable aroma of freshly ground coffee. 

Thanks to the built-in coffee grinder, you can grind your coffee beans at home, releasing the aroma of freshly ground coffee ready to be transformed into a hot, full-bodied, and creamy espresso. The machine operates at 15 bar pressure, allowing you to decide to make 1 or 2 cups of coffee simultaneously and you can also prepare milk froth for making macchiatos or cappuccinos. With the Moderna coffee machine, your breakfast will have unique taste and style.

At a glance

    ✓ Built-in grinder for freshly ground coffee every time

    ✓ 15 bar pressure for authentic espresso with rich crema

    ✓ Maxi steam nozzle for velvety textured milk froth

    ✓ Double filter for 1 or 2 coffees simultaneously

    ✓ Removable 800ml water tank for easy use

    ✓ Automatic shut-off for energy saving

    ✓ Pressure gauge for absolute control over extraction

    ✓ Moderna Line design – elegance and retro aesthetics

      Freshly ground coffee every time

      The Ariete Moderna 1318/02 transforms your kitchen into an authentic Italian coffee shop. Thanks to the built-in grinder with a capacity of 250g, you grind beans exactly when you need them, releasing all the aroma and flavor of the coffee. The Burr Grinding technology ensures uniform cutting, and you can also use ground coffee whenever you want, through the special filter that comes with it. This way, you never have an excuse for coffee without freshness.

      Intensity and flavor like your favorite coffee

      The 15 bar pressure of the Moderna 1318/02 promises espresso with a full body and rich crema, just like you enjoy at your favorite café. The pressure gauge gives you complete control over the extraction process, allowing you to customize each cup to your preferences. Whether you prefer a strong ristretto or a milder lungo, this machine adapts to the way you drink your coffee, keeping the flavor always balanced.

      The milk froth every barista would envy

      With the Maxi steam nozzle, creating perfect milk froth becomes a breeze. The machine's powerful boiler provides a steady steam flow, allowing you to make cappuccinos and lattes with rich, velvety texture. If you love attention to detail, you can remove the auxiliary tip of the nozzle and work solely with the steam pressure, just like professional baristas do. Your coffee enjoyment reaches a new level.

      Beautiful, practical, and always clean

      The removable drip tray and the removable 800ml water tank make cleaning easier than ever. The machine comes with a cleaning needle for the steam nozzle, ensuring it is always ready for use without residue. And of course, the automatic shut-off saves energy when you forget – because even coffee lovers need a break.

      For two coffees… without waiting

      You don't need to wait your turn for coffee. The Ariete Moderna features a double filter, allowing you to prepare two espressos simultaneously. Ideal for mornings when you share the kitchen with someone or for those moments when you simply need a double dose of energy. And all this with the signature of the Moderna Line, which combines practicality with timeless style.

      Design that captivates the eyes

      The Moderna series by Ariete is renowned for its retro design and premium appearance that enhances any kitchen. The curved lines, matte black finish, and metallic details give the machine an elegant presence that matches any decor. When combined with the Moderna kettle and toaster, the result is a complete and stylish breakfast set.

      The experience in your hands

      The Ariete Moderna 1318/02 offers you manual control of water and steam flow, so you can make your coffee exactly the way you want it. Choose steam for milk froth or hot water for an americano – all with one button. At the same time, the operation indicator light shows you when the device is ready for use, giving you full control in the simplest way.

        I have had it for 2 years. A very controversial purchase. It's a love-hate relationship. If you learn how to operate it, it will make you good coffee, but it also has various "quirks" that can easily frustrate you. By "good coffee" I mean better than 100 euro machines. I understand that a professional might give it a bad rating if they expect semi-professional equipment, but I find it hard to believe that they couldn't learn how to use it as it is.

        It doesn't have automatic functions or timers. For example, it dispenses water for as long as you hold the button. I like it because it gives me more control, but for someone less experienced, it may be the reason for inconsistent results. The boiler builds up much more pressure than any household machine I have seen and releases steam with a lot of pressure. The steam wand, for example, makes much better froth than the low-cost ones I have seen. Also, it is one of the few steam wands that can remove the "assist" extension that draws air and make froth only with the pressure of the steam (only machines of a different economic level have this).

        The grinder is a simple burr grinder, but it makes A LOT of noise! You have to shout to be able to talk over the noise. If you live with other people, it will annoy them. Also, the grind settings are a bit funny for espresso. Out of the 20 settings, only 1-2 are suitable for espresso (and those are for the pressurized basket it has), and another 2-3 are for filter coffee. Anything higher doesn't work because the grind becomes too inconsistent. It retains about 2 grams of coffee during grinding, but you can "tap" it and shake it a bit to get almost all the coffee out. The portafilter that comes with the machine is the pressurized one (with the hole), so the grind size may not matter that much in the end. But it is definitely better than any pre-ground coffee. I definitely recommend replacing the plastic tamper, which seems to be made for a completely different basket diameter. Get a 58mm one.

        It also makes noise and shakes a lot during extraction. Sometimes the cup underneath moves due to the vibration. The construction is plasticky. It looks and feels sturdy and of good quality, but in terms of design, it feels more like a children's toy. Also, I feel like it is bulkier than it needs to be. The red color looks nice on the countertop, especially if you have other red appliances.

        That's it. For the 150 euros I paid for it, I consider it a decent-good purchase because if you were to look at separate prices for a burr grinder and an espresso machine with some "professional" features, it would be hard to find a combination for less than 400 euros.

        Edit: This basket: [link] is non-pressurized and fits perfectly in the portafilter, it just doesn't lock like the original one. However, with the machine's grinder, you won't achieve a satisfactory grind for a non-pressurized basket. It needs to be finer. It may be possible to modify the grinder like the Delonghi here (link), but I haven't done it yet

The portafilter that comes with the machine is the pressurized one (with the hole), so the grind size may not matter that much in the end. But it is definitely better than any pre-ground coffee. I definitely recommend replacing the plastic tamper, which seems to be made for a completely different basket diameter. Get a 58mm one.

            It also makes noise and shakes a lot during extraction. Sometimes the cup underneath moves due to the vibration. The construction is plasticky. It looks and feels sturdy and of good quality, but in terms of design, it feels more like a children's toy. Also, I feel like it is bulkier than it needs to be. The red color looks nice on the countertop, especially if you have other red appliances.

            That's it. For the 150 euros I paid for it, I consider it a decent-good purchase because if you were to look at separate prices for a burr grinder and an espresso machine with some "professional" features, it would be hard to find a combination for less than 400 euros.

            Edit: This basket: [link] is non-pressurized and fits perfectly in the portafilter, it just doesn't lock like the original one. However, with the machine's grinder, you won't achieve a satisfactory grind for a non-pressurized basket. It needs to be finer. It may be possible to modify the grinder like the Delonghi here (link), but I haven't done it yet

          • for 150 euro with coffe grinder... it's OK... grinder off course a bit noisy but I never seen I silent one...good that it grind just the coffe you need...the design it remind the coffe machine of the bar ....it vibrate when making coffe but you can low the noise if under the machine you put a soft rbasement like the ones you use for chairs to make you understand....coffe is fine avoid arabica too sour or robusta too bitter, go for South American quality....avoid lavazza....believe me in Italy you will find very few bars almost none offering it for espresso machines....that's more for the moka...the house hand machines t.....still for sure there are better machines but difficult at this price...it worth the money I paid....

          • I have had it for 2 years. A very controversial purchase. It's a love-hate relationship. If you learn how to operate it, it will make you good coffee, but it also has various "quirks" that can easily frustrate you. By "good coffee" I mean better than 100 euro machines. I understand that a professional might give it a bad rating if they expect semi-professional equipment, but I find it hard to believe that they couldn't learn how to use it as it is.

            It doesn't have automatic functions or timers. For example, it dispenses water for as long as you hold the button. I like it because it gives me more control, but for someone less experienced, it may be the reason for inconsistent results. The boiler builds up much more pressure than any household machine I have seen and releases steam with a lot of pressure. The steam wand, for example, makes much better froth than the low-cost ones I have seen. Also, it is one of the few steam wands that can remove the "assist" extension that draws air and make froth only with the pressure of the steam (only machines of a different economic level have this).

            The grinder is a simple burr grinder, but it makes A LOT of noise! You have to shout to be able to talk over the noise. If you live with other people, it will annoy them. Also, the grind settings are a bit funny for espresso. Out of the 20 settings, only 1-2 are suitable for espresso (and those are for the pressurized basket it has), and another 2-3 are for filter coffee. Anything higher doesn't work because the grind becomes too inconsistent. It retains about 2 grams of coffee during grinding, but you can "tap" it and shake it a bit to get almost all the coffee out. The portafilter that comes with the machine is the pressurized one (with the hole), so the grind size may not matter that much in the end. But it is definitely better than any pre-ground coffee.
