Some objects don’t need to be reinvented.

The Original 2.0 is an updated version of our iconic capsule coffee machine and the first major evolution of its design since its launch in 2011.

While the machine retains its recognisable silhouette, this new edition introduces a series of internal and external improvements that enhance performance, durability and everyday usability.

When The Original was first introduced, it was designed with longevity in mind, in both material and expression. Crafted from stainless steel, its design is rooted in Scandinavian minimalism and inspired by classic Italian espresso culture.

With The Original 2.0, that foundation remains.

A detail that changes everything

The update is subtle, yet noticeable in the details.

The silhouette remains the same, but the way the machine is experienced has evolved.

With The Original 2.0, the handle has been redesigned as an interchangeable component. It is introduced with a new steel handle as standard, developed to improve ergonomics while allowing the machine to be personalised over time.

Additional handle options in walnut, oak and black beech will become available separately. Each introduces a different character, from precise and industrial to warm and tactile.

It takes only seconds to change, yet it transforms the overall expression of the machine.

Not just how it looks, but how it fits into your space.

Refined for better performance

The Original 2.0 has been re-engineered to improve consistency, with more precise temperature control and water dosing for better extraction of flavour and aroma.

Crafted from stainless steel, the machine is designed for durability and long term use. Updated components, including a fully steel coffee spout, enhance both longevity and everyday usability.

With a repairable construction and replaceable parts, The Original 2.0 is built to extend its lifespan and reduce product waste.

A considered evolution

The Original 2.0 is not about starting over.

It is about refining what already works, improving the details that shape the everyday coffee experience while staying true to the original.
