Dalla Corte opens its first global flagship in London

On May 8th Dalla Corte officially opened its first global flagship in London, marking a significant milestone in the brand's international journey and strengthening its presence in one of the world's most influential professional coffee markets.

Developed in collaboration with Kavi Coffee, Dalla Corte UK and Official Brand Ambassador Dhan Tamang, the flagship is conceived as a living space where espresso technology, coffee culture and human connection come together.

A new international hub for specialty coffee

More than a brand showcase, the London flagship is designed as an open platform for dialogue, learning and shared experiences within the coffee community. It brings together Italian engineering excellence, deep local market expertise and a strong commitment to the specialty coffee scene.

Located at 36 America Street, London SE1, the flagship operates in partnership with Dhan Tamang, six'time UK Latte Art Champion, founder of Kavi Coffee and Official Dalla Corte Brand Ambassador.

The partnership with our Brand Ambassador Dhan Tamang

Widely recognised for his contribution to contemporary coffee culture, Dhan Tamang works at the intersection of specialty coffee, hospitality and creativity. His collaboration with Dalla Corte has developed through international events, competitions and educational initiatives, grounded in a shared belief that precision and performance gain real value only when paired with people, purpose and community.

The opening of the London flagship represents a strategic step in strengthening Dalla Corte's presence in the UK and Ireland, reinforcing long'term relationships with local professionals and supporting the continued evolution of London's specialty coffee landscape.

The opening: the DC x Kavi Launch Party

The opening was celebrated on Friday, 8 May 2026, with the DC x Kavi Launch Party, an evening dedicated to industry professionals, creatives and members of the coffee community.

Conceived as a moment of encounter rather than a traditional launch, the event reflected the spirit of the flagship itself: open, participatory and rooted in shared exploration.

During the evening, guests took part in guided cupping sessions led by The Cupping Directives, an independent initiative well known within the UK specialty coffee scene for its structured yet accessible approach to sensory education. Informal conversations, interactive moments and curated experiences accompanied the event, alongside food and drinks.

"Make it better": the vision of Dalla Corte

The opening of Kavi Coffee as a Dalla Corte flagship reflects a shared vision built on collaboration, technical excellence and active community engagement. At its core lies Dalla Corte's philosophy, expressed through the claim "Make It Better": a continuous commitment to improving the professional coffee experience by supporting quality, knowledge and long'term value at every stage of the industry.

Dhan Tamang, Founder of Kavi Coffee and Dalla Corte Ambassador, commented:

"As a founder, this launch represents a defining moment for Kavi Coffee London. Partnering with Dalla Corte allows us to bring our vision to life at the highest level, where precision, innovation and true coffee craftsmanship come together to create something meaningful for the city."

Thomas Hall, Head of Dalla Corte UK & Ireland, said:

"We are very excited to open our new flagship showroom – a space that truly represents the brand and showcases our machines in a versatile, premium environment. This flagship underlines our long'term commitment to the UK and Ireland as a key market and reflects our continued investment in the coffee community."

Roberto Corbellini, Marketing Manager at Dalla Corte, added:

"This opening marks a key milestone in Dalla Corte's history. The UK and Ireland are strategic markets for us not only commercially, but also for their cultural influence. Opening our first global flagship in London, together with Dhan Tamang, allows us to elevate the Dalla Corte brand experience in close collaboration with the professional coffee community."
