Carhartt WIP Brews Up Military-Inspired Espresso Machine

Make endless espressos with a handsome green machine that brings coffee shop quality to your home or office.

We’ve previously reported on cool collabs between Carhartt Work in Progress (WIP) and heritage footwear brands like Converse and Clarks Original. But this killer custom espresso machine from the outdoor brand-turned-streetwear purveyors is admittedly a luxe appliance we didn’t see coming. 

Carhartt WIP, aka the outdoor giant’s lifestyle division, teamed up with Rocket Espresso Milano to create a compact coffee brewer designed to reside where space is at a premium. 

Each of the 100 individually-numbered examples boasts the same olive green hue from Carhartt WIP’s military-inspired garments and a stainless steel body that’s powder-coated for a coarse, matte finish.

Barista-approved features include a 1.8-liter boiler, 2.5-liter reservoir, hot water nozzle, permanent steam supply, single and double shot portafilter—the component in which hot water is run through the espresso grounds—and a co-branded tamper. 

Sadly, all 100 limited-edition models have already been sold for $1,945 a piece, so you’ll have to peruse an aftermarket retailer to score one of these rare beauties.
