Pitt coffee stop

There is no denying that we improved our coffee game during the Covid-19 era. Home bean-to-cup machines are a bit more labor-intensive than capsule ones, but sometimes a little show off is part of the fun. Brad Pitt – like his friend George Clooney, perhaps – has become the handsome face of De’Longhi coffee machines. The Dinamica Plus mug bean is his preference, according to the film commercial which sees him picking up a bag of beans from a fresh roast before taking off along the Los Angeles coast on his motorbike to make his cup of tea at home. . It makes everything very beautiful and, of course, it is a beautiful machine. SC
