Casabrews to showcase new home espresso models and accessories at IHA 2026

Casabrews announced on March 3, 2026 that it will exhibit at The Inspired Home Show (IHA) 2026 at McCormick Place in Chicago, March 10–12, at Booth #N8121, showcasing a slate of new and upgraded home espresso machines and accessories aimed at home baristas. The company says attendees will see Ultra MAX, Marenza, 5418 variants, the Tornado Basic grinder and the global debut of the Origin Series, positioning the lineup as options for "long-time Casabrews users" and newcomers alike.

The headline product listed in Casabrews marketing is the ULTRA MAX. Casabrews copy states, "The ULTRA MAX is engineered for the ultimate home barista experience. It features a high-performance 1650W system and Flashheat Technology that allows for a rapid 5-second preheat." That hardware claim sits alongside Homepagenews reporting that Casabrews' new machines "feature enhanced heating stability, faster steam switching and intelligent cleaning functions" to speed workflows and simplify maintenance.

Casabrews is also promoting the Marenza, described in company copy as "A perfect blend of classic aesthetics and modern technology, the MARENZA brings professional-grade brewing to your kitchen." Homepagenews lists Marenza and an Ultra PRO variant on Casabrews' April launch slate, saying "The Casabrews 2026 introduction slate also includes the Ultra PRO and Marenza espresso machines launching in April." Homepagenews further positions the Casabrews Ultra family as "designed for hosts, entertainers and serious coffee enthusiasts" with a highly customizable interface.

The 5418 family appears in multiple forms across the material. Casabrews lists a "5418 MAX" as "Compact yet powerful," and promotes "CM5418 New Design Variants" with "two stunning new editions of the CM5418." Homepagenews describes a "5418 Pro" that "delivers fast heating, precise brewing and powerful manual steam capable of producing latte-art-ready microfoam" and notes the 5418 Pro will be "available in new Black and Beige colorways." Source notes show multiple names across pages without a single confirmed mapping between 5418 MAX, 5418 Pro and CM5418.

Grinder and accessories are part of the IHA showcase as well. Casabrews labels the grinder, "Tornado Basic Grinder: The TORNADO BASIC electric conical burr grinder is the essential partner for any espresso machine." Homepagenews places the Tornado Basic launch in May and says the grinder was "developed to help users achieve consistent grinding for improved espresso extraction." Casabrews also announces the "global debut of our Origin Series, a curated suite of premium wooden accessories" that it bills as sustainability-minded and crafted with "professional-grade precision."

Show logistics and rollout timing are explicit in the reporting: Casabrews announced its IHA participation on March 3, will be at McCormick Place March 10–12, and Homepagenews pins Ultra PRO and Marenza to April launches with Tornado Basic arriving in May. Homepagenews adds that "attendees can check out three Casabrews machines while also getting a preview of upcoming innovations the company plans to roll out throughout 2026." With the Origin Series making a global debut on the show floor and multiple machines slated for April and May availability, IHA will serve as the first public presentation of several of Casabrews' 2026 introductions.
