Our collab' with La Marzocco brings together two brands that not only stand for quality, aesthetics and attention to detail, but also share a passion for the good life - and coffee is clearly one of them.

La Marzocco, founded in Italy in 1927 and an established premium manufacturer of espresso machines ever since, now meets us, Asphaltgold.
With our recently opened community store in Frankfurt we have not only created a spot for selected sneakers, fashion and lifestyle brands, but also a place that lives true hospitality - a space for encounters, events and creative vibes. And what could be more fitting than an inviting café bar right at the entrance? The heart of the store, which welcomes the community as soon as they walk in - even before they see the sneakers & co.

The absolute highlight of our café? The espresso machine that we designed together with La Marzocco and the Officine Fratelli Bambi team. This exclusive collab' sets new standards as a one-off on the "Linea Classic S" and the "Swan Grinder" - and makes history at the same time: for the first time ever, La Marzocco is bringing the "Swan Grinder" into such a special edition. Both machines were handcrafted in the workshop of the Accademia del Caffè Espresso, in the middle of the Tuscan hills - a place that allows coffee and design lovers to immerse themselves in the world of La Marzocco.

Both products have their own individual design and fit perfectly into the concept of the new store - a mixture of minimalist mid-century vibes and modern, industrial elements.
The result is a look that sums up our clear aesthetics and brand philosophy.

At first glance, the design of the espresso machine appears clean, minimalist and almost effortless - but as always, it's the details that make the difference. The powder-coated surface breaks up the typical smooth look of a standard La Marzocco machine, giving it a special depth. Subtle highlights such as the stack logo on the steam button or the all-over stack pattern in the grille are only recognizable at second glance - but that is exactly what makes this centerpiece truly unique.

The absolute highlight is the fusion of the two logos - so seamless that you would think it had never been any other way.
A real first for both brands: for the first time in the history of La Marzocco and Asphaltgold, their logos have been merged with a cooperation partner.

However, this collaboration is not just about the two individually designed machines and their design - it is the beginning of a strong partnership. Through creative events and joint workshops, it will continue to grow and be filled with life.

To celebrate the start of this collab', a joint event with drinks, snacks, music and, of course, good coffee will take place on April 26 at the new Asphaltgold store at Berliner Straße 60 in Frankfurt am Main.
