Porsche works in collaboration with Italian coffee machine maker La Marzocco on a special variation of the Linea Micra. There are only 911 units made, making it an exclusive launch. Additionally, this also celebrates the iconic 911 Carrera -- it is the main design inspiration. Fans of both imprints are offered two distinct designs to choose from starting with the classic Slate Grey Neo or the Martini Racing Edition.
The machines are crafted with fine details, and packed with automotive influences. Some of the highlights include the steam and water twist knobs -- these are designed to reflect the drive mode switch in the Porsche cars. Additionally, the machine has anodized aluminum at the portafiler handles and rotary, rounded out with a black hexagon socket screw.
