CAFFÈLOUNGE by LaMarzocco

Between Tradition and Modernity
CODOS at La Marzocco in Hamburg

What happens when craftsmanship, community, and a deep love of coffee come together?
You get a space where the essence of coffee culture is truly felt.

In March, it was that time of the year again: the international hospitality scene gathered for Internorga in Hamburg - and La Marzocco invited us to their Caffèlounge. CODOS wasn’t just a guest - we were right at the heart of it all, serving espresso, cake, and having meaningful coffee conversations.

La Marzocco
A name that stands for quality

To understand what made this space so special, it’s worth looking at the brand behind the Caffèlounge:

La Marzocco is much more than a maker of espresso machines. The Italian company is known worldwide as a pioneer of tradition, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design in the world of specialty coffee.

What makes La Marzocco unique:

• Machines that combine true craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology

• A brand philosophy deeply rooted in community

• Iconic design that goes beyond function

• A commitment to sustainability and sharing knowledge

In Germany, this spirit comes alive through La Marzocco Deutschland - with local events, showrooms, and collaborations with roasters, cafés, and creatives across the scene. The Caffèlounge in Hamburg was a perfect example of that.

☕ Caffèlounge meets Internorga
A space for real connection

Alongside Internorga - one of the leading trade fairs for gastronomy and hospitality - La Marzocco’s lounge in Hamburg became a true meeting point for the coffee community.

La Marzocco at CODOS
At CODOS, quality is non-negotiable – it’s the foundation of everything we do. That’s why we’ve been working with La Marzocco machines in all our cafés for years.

Why? Because precision, reliability, and a deep respect for craft matter just as much to us as taste. Because only when the tools are right can the result in the cup truly shine.

“Loyal to Quality. Loyal to you.”

Caffèlounge in March
The focus: experience over exhibition. Quality over buzzwords. Connection over hype.
And that’s exactly why it felt like the perfect place to present our dark roast espresso: Sunrise Rumble.

SUNRISE RUMBLE ☕️
Sunrise Rumble doesn’t whisper - it roars. Deep, bold, and honest - with notes of dark chocolate, honey, and blackberries. Created for those who love espresso with an edge, but don’t want to compromise on balance.

The feedback at the lounge?
You loved it!
Home brewers, baristas, roasters, and coffee nerds all agreed: Sunrise Rumble is what a modern dark roast should be - full of character, without bitterness. Especially as espresso and flat white, it was a standout hit.

Cuppings, Machines, Conversations
The La Marzocco program

La Marzocco wasn’t just hosting - they created a platform for real exchange:

• Cuppings with a range of roasteries

• Sneak peeks at machines like the Linea Micra and GS3

• Expert chats with baristas, techs, and retailers

• Discussions around key topics like sustainability, home barista culture, and workflow optimization

Spot the familiar face in the middle? 😉
Our roaster MASHA was invited, too.

When quality meets quality
Refined-Organic Bakery BLACK APRON 🥐🍰
BLACK APRON’s approach is simple: refined, organic, and full of flavor. Every bite - from croissants to cake - was not only beautiful but perfectly balanced.

The takeaway? Coffee and cake aren’t just a classic pairing - they can be a statement.

“We are like coffee and cake - better together.”

Events like this remind us: coffee is more than flavor. It’s a medium - for dialogue, culture, and creativity.

For us at CODOS, being part of the Caffèlounge was about real conversation. We got to see how much you enjoyed our Sunrise Rumble - and we had a chance to share how strong partnerships, like the one with BLACK APRON, help bring our vision to life.
