Tchibo Esperto Mini coffee machine

The Tchibo Esperto Mini is a compact fully automatic coffee machine developed by the German company Tchibo GmbH. Headquartered in Hamburg, Tchibo has a long history dating back to 1949, when it was founded by Max Herz and Carl Tchilinghiryan. While the brand is quintessentially German and renowned for its coffee expertise and weekly-changing non-food products, the production of its electronics and household appliances typically takes place in global manufacturing hubs, most notably China, to maintain competitive pricing.

Tchibo is owned by the holding company Maxingvest AG, which is 100% controlled by the Herz family. The brand has expanded from a mail-order coffee business into one of Germany's largest retail chains, operating hundreds of shops and thousands of retail points in supermarkets. The Esperto Mini model itself is marketed as one of the smallest fully automatic machines in the world, specifically designed to bring premium espresso and caffè crema to small kitchens and mobile living spaces.
