Coffee just got a first-class upgrade. Rimowa, the iconic luggage brand known for its grooved aluminum cases, and La Marzocco, beloved for its espresso machines, have brewed a limited-edition espresso machine that’s a dream for coffee connoisseurs and wanderlusters alike.
Move than just your average joe, the Rimowa x La Marzocco Linea Mini gives the classic Linea Mini silhouette a makeover with signature grooved aluminum adorning the exterior. Needless to say, its beans will taste far better than the ones at airport cafeterias.

Bespoke knobs, a custom portafilter, and even the appliance’s feet are crafted from anodized aluminum. A subtle nod to the collaboration comes in the form of brandings from both Rimowa and La Marzocco, proudly displayed on the frame and base. Steeped in style and craftsmanship, each machine is handcrafted in Florence, Italy, and requires 40 hours of work to complete.

Java enthusiasts can get their first glimpse—or sip—of this beauty during Milan Design Week from April 15. The Rimowa x La Marzocco Linea Mini will grace the show at two popup locations: the Caffè RIMOWA popup and the La Marzocco store.
