German grinder manufacturer Mahlkönig celebrated 100 years in business at Specialty Coffee Expo in Chicago, United States, from 12 to 14 April.
During the Expo event, the Mahlkönig team hosted their industry colleagues at The First 100 Years party in collaboration with Intelligentsia Coffee and Standart Magazine. The event included a gallery which gave guests a peek into the company’s past, including historic images of its vintage equipment. The highlight of the party was a huge 100th birthday cake.
At the Specialty Coffee Expo, the brand shared a booth with US partners Black Rabbit Service Co, Visions Espresso, Prima Coffee Equipment, and Congruent.
