There are plenty of ways to bring a little Porsche into your life. You could buy a 911, naturally, or perhaps wait for the all-new Cayenne Turbo Electric, assuming you have close to a million dollars burning a hole in your pocket. There's even the Mission S, which is expected to arrive next year.
Or, if you're working with a slightly more modest budget, you could always start with your morning coffee.

Porsche has once again reunited with Italian espresso machine specialist La Marzocco for a second collaborative collection, this time taking inspiration from one of the most celebrated cars in its history: the 1972 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7.
Headlined by a limited-edition Linea Micra espresso machine and matching Pico grinder, the Porsche X La Marzocco collection is a rather handsome range of home coffee equipment and lifestyle accessories – perfect for a turbo shot of coffee each morning.
And whilst this may simply sound like the latest in a string of car brands tapping into the luxury accessory lifestyle, dig a little deeper, and this partnership makes much more sense.
After all, both brands have built their reputations around precision engineering, obsessive attention to detail, and a healthy appreciation for good design.
Their first collaboration in 2024 proved popular enough to warrant a return, with that initial collection featuring Slate Grey Neo and Martini Racing-inspired versions of the Linea Micra. This time around, though, the brief is a little more specific, drawing on the unmistakable colours and design cues of the Carrera RS 2.7.
Three colourways are available: Grand Prix White with green accents, Tangerine with black detailing, and Grand Prix White with blue.
The first two are each limited to 911 examples, while the blue version is an even rarer 150-piece edition exclusive to Germany.
Porsche hasn't simply slapped a few decals on an existing coffee machine, either. The cup rail takes inspiration from the RS 2.7's famous ducktail rear spoiler, the black handles feature laser-engraved RS and 2.7 markings, and the analogue pressure gauges feature the same red and green detailing found throughout the collection.
Each machine also carries a numbered plaque reading 'One of 911'.
La Marzocco's compact Linea Micra is designed for home baristas, with a convertible three-in-one portafilter and insulated steam wand – there’s even an app that allows users to adjust brewing temperatures and operating schedules.
The collection also extends to handcrafted espresso and cappuccino cups, barista towels, coasters, coffee canisters, and clothing. There's even a 1:18-scale model of the Carrera RS 2.7, complete with its own miniature coffee machine.
So why coffee? Well, not everyone can afford to spend seven figures on a new Porsche, let alone get their hands on a collectible Carrera RS 2.7. But there's a much larger audience willing to spend a few thousand dollars on a piece of that world.
And while a coffee machine isn't quite the same as a 911 parked in the driveway, at least this particular one will get used every morning.
