American foodservice equipment provider The Middleby has closed the acquisition of US-based semi-automatic espresso machines maker Synesso.

Financial details of the transaction have not been disclosed by both the parties.

With $10m in revenues, the low-maintenance, energy-efficient Synesso machines are easy to operate. The equipment is designed to allow for accurate pressure control and temperature while preparing espresso.

Synesso will join Middleby’s coffee portfolio that includes commercial foodservice equipment and beverage systems provider Bloomfield.

Middleby CEO Tim FitzGerald said: “Synesso is a highly innovative brand and further expands our coffee and beverage platform. Middleby is well-positioned within the beverage category, offering some of the most advanced equipment in today’s fast-growing coffee market.

“Our Seattle-based coffee companies are able to provide operators with a variety of sought-after options, including automated bean to cup, cold brew, nitro brew, traditional carafe and now semi-automatic espresso.
