Datum Coffee

It's hundreds of tiny decisions, details and iterations that slowly come together over time. ☕️✨

Exactly what we've started to love the most. 🚀

Sound on. 🧑‍🚀

Ten years ago, we built our first coffee machine together as a school project.

We really had no idea where it would lead us. 🪐

Today, we're building Datum: the coffee machine we always wished existed. ✨

Some ideas stick around longer than expected. ☕️

Two coffee obsessed designers. 🧑‍🚀🧑‍🚀

Hundreds of parts. ⚙️🗜️

One dream machine. ☕️🪐

🔊 Sound on for prototype assembly.

Yep, it's true.

We took care of a few things, so you don't have to. ✨

To help everyone become their own favorite barista. ☕️🚀

Can we make really good coffee really easy? ✨

That simple question turned into two years of prototypes, late nights, and countless espressi 🗜️🛰️

We're still building. But the coffee already tastes pretty amazing. ☕️🚀

We believe espresso tastes best when things feel calm. ✨

No complicated workflow.
No constant dialing in.
No distractions between you and your coffee.

Just a few intentional steps, a smooth routine, and a machine that quietly does the hard work in the background.

High tech on the inside. 🚀
Calm on the outside. ☕️

What if every bag of coffee already came with the perfect espresso recipe?✨

Great espresso usually takes experience: Dialing in grind size, adjusting pressure, changing temperature.

We wanted to make that knowledge accessible to everyone. 🛰️

So we built an open recipe platform where roasters, baristas, cafés, and home brewers can share how each coffee tastes best.

Just scan your coffee beans and Datum automatically matches the right recipe: Grind size, pressure, temperature,.. — set instantly.

Our hardware is still on the way, but the platform is coming very soon ☕️

Comment ‘recipe’ if you’d like to try it first. 🚀

We felt the espresso industry kept optimizing specs — but forgot the actual experience. 🔭

More buttons.
More noise.
More features that somehow make the experience feel less human.

With Datum, we wanted to take a different path:
High tech on the inside — calm on the outside. ☕️🧘✨

A machine built around a few intentional steps, without getting in the way of your coffee ritual.

Ultra-compact. ✨
Future-proof. 🚀
Designed to feel simple from the very first cup. ☕️

Delicious. Delightful. Datum. ☕️🚀✨

Frustrated by the espresso industry’s slow, incremental progress, we knew we wanted to solve the real user struggles at their root. 🔭

The Datum open recipe platform transfers the ideal brewing setup directly from roasters to users 🛰️

Within seconds, the Datum espresso machine reaches the right brewing temperature 🚀

And for perfectly consistent results (and a clean kitchen!✨), tamping happens right within the brew head 🪐

No guesswork.
No mess.
Just great coffee. ☕️✨
