The Carhartt WIP x Rocket Espresso Collab Is Anything But Utilitarian

Coffee with a side of chrome?

Carhartt WIP and Rocket Espresso Milano have reunited to create a collaboration for the well-caffeinated hypebeast. While their first collaboration four years ago saw the duo create a military-inspired espresso machine befitting of Carhartt WIP’s blue-collar origins, the latest team-up takes on a more contemporary tone.

Bedecked in chrome, the Porta Ticinese Espresso Machine is crafted from durable stainless steel and designed for use in compact spaces and features debossed co-branding and coffee-inspired graphics on its sides. Each unit is identifiable by way of a numbered enamel badge. 

Joining the espresso machine is the equally shiny Porta Ticinese Grinder. Crafted from extruded aluminium and plated with chrome, it also featured debossed graphics and laser-engraved branding. 

Naturally, it wouldn’t be a Carhartt WIP collaboration without a healthy dose of apparel. Providing something to wear as you make your morning brew, the collaborative collection includes a sweater, apron, and t-shirt, each adorned with co-branded motifs.

The collaborative collection is now available in the Carhartt WIP Milano Ticinese physical boutique in Italy, and will be available online for European customers from the 7th of December via the Carhartt WIP webstore.
