De’Longhi

Tiny Coffee Shops

The miniatures that showed you don’t need to leave home to get coffee shop coffee.

The Challenge

Specialty coffee shops have become a global obsession: beautiful, Instagrammable and synonymous with great coffee. 77% of consumers returned to them for their quality, while only 27% preferred the taste of coffee brewed at home. De’Longhi needed to challenge the belief that truly great coffee only happens outside the home.

The Crazy Ambition

To make home the place you go for specialty coffee.

The Idea

Introducing Tiny Coffee Shops: five iconic De’Longhi machines transformed into handcrafted, fully functional miniature cafés, inspired by the world’s leading coffee cities. Created by renowned miniature artist Simon Weisse, each one brought all the craft, beauty and coffee quality of a specialty café onto a kitchen counter — without the queues, the crowds or the overpriced coffee.
