A perspective view of the Xiaomi Mijia Semi-automatic Espresso Machine (model CME003) is showcased as part of the Xiaomi smart home ecosystem during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on March 5, 2026. This ultra-slim appliance, measuring just 14cm in width, features a professional 20 Bar high-pressure Italian pump and a 1350W heating element. The device is equipped with an NTC precise temperature control system and professional low-pressure pre-infusion technology to ensure optimal flavor extraction and a rich crema. The hardware includes a stainless steel housing, a 0.9-liter removable water tank, and a high-performance 8mm rotary steam wand for milk frothing. Managed via an intuitive touch interface, the machine allows for customizable cup volumes (40ml/80ml) and is integrated into the Xiaomi HyperOS environment for status monitoring and maintenance alerts through the Mi Home app. (Photo by Joan Cros/NurPhoto)
