Porsche and La Marzocco launch a 911 Carrera RS 2.7 espresso machine from $2,125

Porsche and La Marzocco have launched a limited-edition Linea Micra espresso machine and matching Pico grinder styled after the 1972 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7. The collection went on sale October 30 through the Porsche Online Shop, select Porsche Centers and Porsche Design Stores, priced from $2,125.

The pairing borrows its most recognizable cue from the car's rear. The Linea Micra wears a cup rail shaped like the Carrera RS 2.7's ducktail spoiler, the fastest German production car of its time. Analogue manometers carry red and green Porsche-styled gauge needles beside black handles.

Each handle is laser-engraved with RS and 2.7 insignia. A magnetic RS 2.7 graphic badge is on the body, and an individually numbered One of 911 side plaque is the collector signal. It is a machine built to be counted, not just used.

The finishes run through three historic Porsche liveries. Grand Prix White–Green and Tangerine–Black are limited to 911 units each worldwide. A third, Grand Prix White–Blue, is capped at 150 units and sold only in Germany, which tightens its scarcity considerably for collectors.

Underneath the livery the machine is a compact dual-boiler espresso rig. A convertible 3-in-1 portafilter takes single, double and bottomless spout configurations, and a paddle-actuated electric brew lever controls the shot. An insulated steam wand sits alongside a two-liter front-access reservoir.

Integrated LED barista lights illuminate the group, and the whole machine is controlled through the La Marzocco Home app. The footprint stays domestic, but the spec sheet reads like a small commercial bar, which is the point of the Linea Micra line.

The Pico grinder echoes the automotive styling with an adjustable magnetic portafilter fork and an auto-close bean hopper. Together the pair forms a complete countertop setup, down to handcrafted ceramic espresso and cappuccino cups that carry the same RS 2.7 motif.

The capsule extends well past coffee. Porsche and La Marzocco have added themed apparel, hoodies, tees, caps and socks, plus a 1:18 scale model of the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 fitted with a miniature coffee machine. It is a full merchandising sweep around a single vintage car.

La Marzocco is the Florentine espresso specialist whose Linea Micra brought a compact dual-boiler design to home counters. Porsche needs no introduction in our garage coverage: when we ranked the twenty-five best luxury SUVs, we put the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid Coupé first.

Porsche sits inside the Volkswagen Group, which we profile across its subsidiaries Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini and Bugatti. That is a telling frame for this collaboration: the espresso machine draws on the same design archive that feeds the sports cars, just applied to a two-liter water tank.

The 911 Carrera RS 2.7 reference is a serious one for enthusiasts. Built for homologation in 1972, it was the fastest German production car of its era, a fact the collaboration trades on directly. La Marzocco has lifted its bluntest visual signatures rather than a badge alone.

Porsche is also a familiar name in our rankings of the most searched luxury car brands, where BYD now draws more online interest than Porsche or Audi. The marque's pull beyond dealerships is exactly what this capsule monetizes, one espresso machine at a time.

What you get at each tier

Pricing opens at $2,125, which covers the entry configuration of the machine. The grinder, the cups and the scale model are sold as supporting pieces around it, and the German-only White–Blue edition commands its rarity by allocation rather than an announced markup.

With 911 units of each of the two global liveries, the run is small enough to sell through quickly among Porsche owners, yet broad enough that the machine remains a usable daily driver rather than a glass-case object.

For home baristas, the real distinction is technical. The dual-boiler layout keeps brew and steam temperatures independent, the 3-in-1 portafilter removes the usual accessory pile, and the app handles control. We cover top espresso machines at length when we rate the best options for a domestic morning.

What the collaboration does not promise is any mechanical tie to the car beyond styling. The machine shares no parts with a 911, and the connection lives in the liveries, the gauge needles and the cup rail. Buyers are paying for design continuity, not automotive hardware.

Who this is for

The buyer is most plausibly a Porsche owner or a La Marzocco devotee who wants the brand overlap. Apparel, the scale model and the mugs extend the buy beyond the machine itself, letting a household buy into the capsule at a lower entry point than the espresso rig.

La Marzocco has not disclosed total production across the full capsule, only the per-livery machine counts. That leaves the grinder, the cups and the model unnumbered, which is worth knowing for anyone treating the set as an investment rather than kitchen equipment.
