- about us -
Behind the espressolo series stands iDeA espresso, Espresso Tecnica and us, Diana and Thomas Schulthes from Hamburg. During the 80´s my husband came from Rome, where he was growing up, to study Physics in Hamburg. From his semester breaks in Italy he came back with old espresso machines, which he repaired for friends and collegues. The machines he brought from Italy got more and bigger and soon advertising agencies and cafés were interested, too. Soon he imported coffee and operated a workshop, in the meanwhile as well for offices and the gastronomy.
Together with Johannes Hannig and Manja Behrens, who are EspressoPool since 2009, we imported espresso machines and grinders from the household to the gastronomy, like Wega, demoka, VBM, Eureka and ascaso, some exclusive for the German market. Today EspressoPool undertakes the distribution of many more brands, as well of the espressolo series, for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Tom and I realised that we prefer to stay in the creative part like in the past, when I loved working as a photographer and designer and Tom as a pyrotechnician for special effects at the movie sets and now for the coffee machines with a modern demand of being reasonable with resources according to our technical requirements.
