In the 17th century, coffee reached Europe via Mecca and Arabia and has been more than just a beverage ever since. It stands for lifestyle and embodies an extraordinary attitude to life. The enjoyment of the hot beverage is extremely popular with coffee lovers all over the world and creates very special moments that give the soul a little time out from everyday life. Espresso is an Italian coffee speciality named after the way it is prepared. In addition to the concentrated caffeine content, it stands out due to the particularly high speed of the production process. Because of this, espresso is repeatedly the basis for numerous trend and lifestyle drinks. One of the most successful espresso-based variations comes from a well-known American coffeehouse chain. It combines espresso with milk, pumpkin syrup and a hint of cinnamon to create the famous "Pumpkin Spice Latte" to ring in the autumn season. Another well-known creation is the "Espresso Martini," which requires a chilled martini glass, freshly brewed espresso, coffee liqueur and vodka.


The list of creations and variations is long. But also as a solo artist, the espresso has proven to have an unending popularity since the patenting of the first espresso machine in 1884. The secret of its success: simplicity and passion. All that is needed to make espresso is espresso powder, water and pressure. But it is only through the passion and skill of the baristas that an incomparable taste is created. And takes us to a world that smells of flowers, fruits, chocolate and fresh toast. And even if we as a manufactory are 174 years older than the patent of the first espresso machine, our mindsets are much closer. Our porcelain has also always consisted of three ingredients: Kaolin, feldspar and quartz. However, as with espresso, it is the fourth ingredient that leads to pure perfection: the dedication, experience and craftsmanship of our employees, who bring the individual components together to create a masterpiece.
