The story

The idea for the little guy began In 2005 in Sydney, Australia. The idea was simple, lets take the an iconic stovetop espresso maker and re-engineer the design so it'd pull genuine espresso shots and texture milk perfectly to the standards of the best cafes in the world.

The result was extraordinary, the little guy is a truly unique product, balancing function, ergonomics and aesthetics to deliver a truly unique espresso making experience.

Made with the highest quality materials, and produced within 0.1mm accuracy, there are few domestic espresso machines made this well in the world.

Design awards have also flowed: The Australian International Design Mark in 2008, the Chicago Athenaeum's 'Good Design' in 2011, International Design Excellence Award finalist in 2009 and a German Design Council nomination for the German Design Awards in 2013.
