Purge your steam wands, fire up your machines, dial in your grinders. The stage is set. 🔥
Cafetto is proud to announce a new collaboration with Nuova Simonelli UK & UAE for the 2nd edition of the Technician Competition, where we will join as the Official Cleaning Partner.
With competitions taking place June 2026, this partnership brings two brands together driven by the same pursuit of precision, performance, and uncompromising standards. Combining world-class espresso equipment with industry-leading cleaning expertise to help create the ultimate experience for technical excellence to shine.
While technician competitions are designed to test speed, diagnostics, and mechanical skill under pressure, there is a critical factor underpinning every result: the condition of the machine itself. Because cleanliness is not cosmetic, it is foundational.
Residue coffee oils, scale build-up, and inconsistent maintenance introduce variables that directly impact extraction, pressure stability, and machine behaviour. In a competitive environment, those variables can quickly blur the line between equipment condition and technician capability.
For that reason, competitions only function at their best when every machine is tuned to a neutral, fully cleaned state - ensuring what is being assessed is skill, not residue.
That is the intent behind this partnership. Working alongside Nouva Simonelli UK & UAE, Cafetto is supporting the competition environment by helping ensure machines are properly prepared and consistent for every technician taking part, protecting the integrity of the test and keeping the focus on performance.
Our shared commitment to cafés, technicians, trainers, and service teams who rely on uncompromised equipment performance brings this competition into sharp focus. When variables are removed and equipment is consistent, what remains is unfiltered technical skill on display.
