Elbphilharmonie

Melitta goes ELPHI

We are gastro partner of the Elbphilharmonie and Laeiszhalle

Coffee and cultural enjoyment go hand in hand here. Since the 2021/2022 concert season, we have been the exclusive coffee partner of the Elbphilharmonie and the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg. Both concert halls get everything they need for successful coffee from one source: coffee, coffee machines, technical customer service. Everything is perfectly matched to each other and to the needs of our partner. But see for yourself: We accompanied the installation of our coffee machines with our camera.

High up

The Elbphilharmonie rises to 102 metres above street level. First of all, every professional coffee machine has to be brought to its destination.

On foot

The last few metres are then "on foot". Arne Simon and Simon Küseler carry an XT6 to the counter in the "Helmut and Hannelore Greve Foyer".

Millimetre work

Every millimetre counts. Only when the machines are optimally positioned can a smooth workflow be guaranteed later in practical operation.

Installation

Once the exact position has been defined, the installation of the machines, including accessories such as milk coolers, cup warmers and coffee carriers, begins. And the work of the Melitta Professional team is not over yet, because ...

Setting parameters

... as soon as the machines are connected, the parameters of the brewing process are adjusted to the conditions on site and the desired taste. Here, area manager Barry Gram, contact person on site in Hamburg, is tasting.

Perfectly matched

When the work is done, the machines present themselves perfectly matched to the Espresso Bacio Nero, the Café Crème Monte d'Argento and the filter coffee Spezial Exklusiv

Slim design

Refined aluminium housing, touch screen made of polished glass: with their slim design, the machines of the XT series fit perfectly into the stylishly understated ambience of the foyer. Everything is ready. Now the guests can come!

Not an everyday job

Installed, adjusted, tested and approved. An unusual assignment at the port of Hamburg for the service technicians Jean-Bertrand Bistron, Stefan Ziehm, Arne Simon and Simon Küseler (from left to right).

Small fully automatic coffee machines from the Caffeo series are used in the musicians' rooms. We have also harmonised the coffee and cocoa assortment for the two concert halls: from the extensive coffee assortment for the catering trade, the Espresso Bacio Nero, the Café Crème Monte d'Argento and the Filter Coffee Special Exclusive were selected at the tasting. For the cocoa, the choice fell on the UTZ-certified Melitta^® Cioccolata Style Milk Chocolate.
