Italian commercial coffee equipment maker Sanremo Coffee Machines took a big step into the cloud this fall with the launch of Sanremo IoT, an internet-based platform that gives users remote access to machine data, settings and service tools.
Along with announcing Sanremo IoT at the 2025 HostMilano expo in Italy (read all of DCN’s HostMilano 2025 coverage), the company also introduced updates to its automated SteamSystem and expanded its Machine-to-Grinder Link ecosystem to include connectivity with select Mahlkönig grinders.
Sanremo IoT
Sanremo IoT is a wireless platform that lets owners, managers, technicians and baristas monitor and manage compatible Sanremo machines remotely through phones and other devices. Through Sanremo’s My Sanremo app and web tools, users can view performance, settings and maintenance needs, adjust certain parameters, share recipes and change schedules without being physically in front of the machine.
Andrea Zamprogno, product manager of Sanremo Coffee Machines, said the Sanremo D8 machine platform, introduced in 2023, comes IoT-ready, and that all new machines will be made compatible. “The IoT device can be factory installed, as well as ordered as a kit,” Zamprogno said.

The IoT components will not be backward compatible with models older than the D8.
Customers who opt in for the IoT module hardware will receive a five-year subscription to Sanremo’s cloud services, including access to the web platform and associated iOS and Android app. Though specific rates for ongoing services were not disclosed, Zamprogno said the service will remain inexpensive.
“The cost is incredibly accessible, comparable to a coffee per week,” Zamprogno said.
Machine-To-Grinder Link
Along with IoT, many new Sanremo machines are now compatible with the company’s Machine-to-Grinder Link system, through which Sanremo espresso machines share extraction data with compatible grinders. Depending on the grinder, the system can either drive automatic grind corrections or provide guidance to the user.

The system uses a wired connection. Compatible Sanremo machines include the Café Racer, the F18 Multiboiler and Single Boiler, and the D8 Standard and Pro.
“A physical link cable guarantees a strong and reliable communication in every situation, with a very quick installation without headaches,” Zamprogno said. “Connect the cable, enable the grinder and you are ready to go in a few minutes.”
Grinder options are not limited to Sanremo models. Earlier this month, Sanremo and Mahlkönig jointly announced an expansion of the Grind-by-Sync platform to include select Sanremo machines equipped with Machine-to-Grinder Link.
The Link can also engage Fiorenzato grinders with Ada tech built in and Markibar Izaga-W grinders equipped with Markibar Connect features. The feature set varies by grinder model.
“Each grinder manufacturer has developed its own algorithm to automatically adjust or suggest changing the burrs’ setting,” said Zamprogno. “As Sanremo, we provide information in real time to the grinder about the extraction in progress. The grinder will use all or part of this information to make its own calculations.”
Sanremo SteamSystem
Sanremo D8 Standard and Pro espresso machines available now, as well as future Sanremo espresso machines, will be eligible to receive the company’s newest SteamSystem milk-frothing technology.

With updated control boards and additional data collection, the company said algorithmic calculations under its “6th Sense” approach will enable steam wands to automatically adjust during frothing for consistent, hands-free control over temperature and foam texture. The company also said up to four recipes can be stored on the D8, including recipes for dairy or plant-based milks.
Sanremo also introduced a new user interface intended to simplify programming and daily use, including an automatic steam wand purge function designed to improve workflow and consistency.
