A latte art adorned with a tulip, seahorse, or dragon atop a café au lait is the “wow effect” sought by Jonald Sodela. The 28-year-old, crowned as the super barista in 2020, secured the sixth position in the 2023 latte art competition in France and is now aiming for the world championship.
A beautiful chrome espresso machine sits prominently in the kitchen, accompanied by the sounds of grinding beans, bubbling, flowing water, and dissipating steam. The aroma of coffee quickly fills the room.
On the cup, a lovely flower incorporated into an ultra-comforting milk foam. Jonald Sodela is a barista, somewhat akin to a coffee sommelier. While he hones his expertise in coffee roasting and preparation, his specialty lies in latte art – the skill of creating designs with milk.
“Beyond the refined aesthetic aspect of the Ace machine designed by Conti, it stands out for its pleasant usability and easy maintenance. Indeed, each of its features allows me to achieve optimal quality in coffee preparation and latte art creation. I had the privilege of being the very first barista to experience this machine, and I want to express my deep gratitude to Columbus Café & Conti for this gift.”

ACE is perfect for small, niche locations or professional domestic barista.
MILAN – Nestled quietly within the heart of Monaco, Conti’s factory is hand-crafting premium espresso machines since 1956. Brand’s name was inspired by Quai Conti, the original factory located next to the River Seine in Paris. In 1956, post war period, the famous Italian manufacturer Faema left Monaco, and qualified work force (the same period Conti’s brand moved). Applying its expertise, Conti is striving to develop, in partnership with its clients, specific solutions to meet ever-changing needs. Recently Conti has launched its latest coffee machine with one group, ACE.
Conti’s iconic five-point crown logo triumphs over the aesthetics of this new machine.
