The Cube is a compact Sanremo heat exchanger: a single stainless-steel boiler makes the steam and heats the brew water, so milk can be steamed while the coffee runs. Only 32 cm deep, it fits even on a shallow counter. The group is a thermosiphon type with mechanical pre-infusion; the pump is a vibration pump, and water comes either from the tank or from the mains.
A display shows boiler temperature, extraction time, water level and any faults, and reminds you when to change the softener filter. The app schedules up to three time slots a day and manages the filter reminders.
The side panels come in two versions, single-colour or two-tone. It is for someone who wants a Sanremo in little space, with coffee and steam together; anyone who wants to set the boiler temperature should look at the Cube R, which allows it from the app.

Pros and cons
In favour
Worth knowing
- Boiler temperature cannot be set: that is only on the Cube R source
