The Carhartt WIP x Rocket Espresso Is For The Hypebeast Barista

Everyone’s favourite workwear brand Carhartt is back at it again, this time helping the common man get caffeinated ahead of a big day on the corporate-creative tools. In collaboration with the Rocket Espresso team, Carhartt WIP has announced the launch of a limited-edition compact espresso machine and a portable coffee grinder.

The chromed-out pieces of espresso-making equipment look an absolute treat, boasting a mirror polish and debossed graphics on the Porta Ticinese Espresso Machine, while the Porta Ticinese Grinder features embossed graphics in the same style. It’s fair to say such an immaculate surface looks great when you take it out of the box, but is unlikely to last in such a state beyond one espresso shot being poured, however, we applaud the design regardless.

The Carhartt WIP x Rocket Espresso coffee machine and the grinder would look great on any of our kitchen benches, but they’re also of a very high-quality thanks to being hand-assembled in Italy. For those of us in Australia, we’ll need to wait until the 7th of December before they arrive online for sale.

For those chefcore enthusiasts living in continental Europe, you’ll be able to pop down to Carhartt WIP’s Milano Ticinese location from today to purchase.
