Espresso is an art form; all the more so when the perfect machine and the best baristas in the world come together. Which is exactly what will happen from June 16th to the 18th at the Nordic World of Coffee in Gothenburg, Sweden.

With one week remaining until the World Latte Art and World Coffee in Good Spirits championship finals in which the Plus4You will be the official machine, the Astoria flagship model has revealed a special look.

Actually, it’s not one look, but 12: as many as the machines that will be present at the championships sponsored by World Coffee Events , each one customized by a different artist.

Astoria’s headlining, single-button version has been baptized Plus4Champions and stylized by the imagination of four young Italian illustrators specifically for this contest for baristas.

Their four visions share a common passion for coffee and express several different styles; they are a tribute to the variety of styles expressed by the baristas who choose Astoria quality every day.

The original designs on the Plus4Champions will be the leitmotif of Astoria’s adventure in Gothenburg and the stars of a special live performance during the finals for the World Latte Art and World Coffee in Good Spirits championship.
