Out of the Box 2017 goes to Melbourne!

März 28, 2017 in Australasia

La Marzocco inaugurated its very first OUT OF THE BOX in Australia on Tuesday, March 28th, at Abbotsford Convent in Melbourne: 1 Saint Heliers Street. This was a unique occasion to experience La Marzocco’s ultimate designs in espresso machine technology such as the Strada AV with Auto Brew Ratio, thought-provoking panel discussions, machine-building and tech competitions, a True Artisan Café and an inspiring pop-up 90th Anniversary exhibition. Out of the Box is a destination event rich in content and dedicated to La Marzocco’s partners and coffee enthusiasts from around the globe. It is a cultural celebration, bringing together the local community through La Marzocco’s passion for amazing coffee. Visitors were invited to engage in a full-day agenda (12 pm – 6 pm) of interactive workshops: from water solution demos and customizations to brewing sessions and curated coffee tastings; from Q&As with La Marzocco and industry leaders to the DIY Linea Mini La Marzocco Home display or the “create-a-café” Modbar space. Last but not least, the event showcased ORIGIN, the fine arts photo exposé by Jakob de Boer.
