Porsche Turns the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Into a €5,790 Espresso Machine
Porsche and Italian espresso-machine maker La Marzocco have turned one of the most recognizable 911 liveries into a limited home-coffee collection. The companies unveiled the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7-inspired Linea Micra and Pico grinder at the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen on October 29, 2026, with sales beginning October 30.
This is a design and lifestyle collaboration, not a new car or a performance upgrade. Porsche lists a recommended retail price of €5,790 for the espresso machine and €1,550 for the matching grinder. The announcement does not provide U.S. pricing, and Chiefs Review has not tested either product.
Three RS 2.7 color combinations
The Linea Micra is offered in three schemes drawn from the 1972 Carrera RS 2.7: Grand Prix White with green graphics, Tangerine with black graphics, and Grand Prix White with blue graphics. Porsche says the green and tangerine editions are each limited to 911 machines. The blue version is exclusive to Germany and limited to 150.
The treatment goes beyond a color wrap. Carrera RS lettering runs across the machine, while the cup rail echoes the classic car’s “ducktail” rear spoiler. The handles carry laser-engraved “RS” and “2.7” markings, the analog pressure gauges use red and green accents, and a magnetic RS 2.7 badge sits alongside a numbered “One of 911” plaque.
A real Linea Micra under the Porsche graphics
La Marzocco’s compact Linea Micra remains the foundation. Porsche’s specification list includes a convertible 3-in-1 portafilter that can be configured with single, double or bottomless spouts, an insulated steam wand, a two-liter water tank and LED work lights. The brew control combines a traditional paddle shape with an electric switch.
Owners can also use the La Marzocco Home app to adjust temperature and other settings or set a schedule. The companion Pico grinder adds an adjustable magnetic portafilter fork and an auto-closing bean hopper. Those features are manufacturer claims; the collaboration announcement does not include independent performance testing.
Availability starts October 30
Porsche says the collection will be sold through Porsche’s website, selected Porsche Centers and selected Porsche Design Stores. The companies have not published a complete market-by-market dealer list in the announcement, so buyers outside Germany should confirm local availability and final taxes or delivery charges before ordering.
The collaboration also extends to espresso and cappuccino cups, coffee canisters, towels, coasters, apparel and a 1:18-scale Carrera RS 2.7 model supplied with a miniature coffee machine. That broader range makes the project as much a Porsche licensing and brand-extension exercise as a premium appliance release.
Why the Carrera RS 2.7 still sells the story
Porsche originally presented the Carrera RS 2.7 in 1972 as a 500-car homologation model for motorsport. It was the first 911 to wear the Carrera name and corresponding side script, and its lightweight construction and ducktail spoiler helped establish a visual language Porsche still draws on more than five decades later.
That history gives this second Porsche–La Marzocco collaboration a clearer automotive connection than ordinary logo merchandise. It also puts an unusually high price on the nostalgia: the machine costs considerably more than a standard countertop appliance, while the numbered production run and RS-specific details are aimed directly at collectors.
