Ducati’s centenary celebrations are continuing, albeit with a twist, as the Italian company has just launched a new limited-edition coffee machine.
Named the ‘Barista M3 1926 Limited Edition Carbon Fibre by Ducati’, which is a bit of a mouthful to say the least, the new machine could be the ideal birthday gift for someone.
However, there are two major things you need to know: the first is that it’s limited to just 1,926 units. The other, and it’s a pretty significant one, is the price, which comes in at 1,599 Swiss Francs, which converts to around £1,515.

The machine is available in three colours, including Ducati White, Red and Black. But while it’s nice to see some variety in terms of colour, the machine stands out for its versatility, as you can make more than 12 well-known coffee types.
Speaking about its new coffee machine on social media, Ducati said:
“To celebrate 100 years of Italian engineering, Cuisine Barista from Switzerland presents the Barista M3 1926 Limited Edition Carbon Fibre by Ducati – the world’s only capsule coffee machine crafted from carbon fibre.”
The machine features a seven-second cold start, a traditional steam wand, and is compatible with Nespresso capsules.

Revealing the new coffee machine is just one of several ways that Ducati is celebrating its 100-year anniversary in 2026, which has already seen the arrival of some impressive new models.
That includes the new Superleggera V4 Centenario, which was revealed at the end of March with carbon brakes, while the frame, swingarm, subframe, and wheels were all fitted with carbon fibre.
More recently, Ducati has opted to take the new 228bhp (247bhp with race exhaust bolted on) machine and bless it with a Tricolore variant, which is even more exclusive. More models celebrating 100 years of Ducati will likely be revealed this summer.
