Sack knife for coffee nerds: La Marzocco X Victorinox
Victorinox has already produced pocket knives with bit sets, USB sticks, laser pointers and lighters. Now comes the pocket knife for coffee nerds in collaboration with La Marzocco. The tool offers tools for screwing the espresso machine or weighing coffee.
«Victorinox x La Marzocco Barista Tool» is the name of the new pocket knife, and it is «a multifunctional tool that takes every coffee ritual to the next level». At least that's what the Victorinox press release says. Many of the tools in the coffee pocket knife are already familiar from other versions, but new here are a nozzle remover (12 millimetres), which I can use to remove the milk nozzle from La Marzocco portafilters, and a coffee spatula, which helps me to weigh out the coffee.

Unfortunately, there are only four examples of the machine, three of which belong to Victorinox and one to La Marzocco. The barista pocket knife is also not yet available.
UPDATE 16 October: Victorinox has now got in touch. Unfortunately, the pocket knives are already sold out. However, you can sign up for a waiting list on the Victorinox website. Contrary to initial information, we will not be able to sell any of these knives. Sorry!
In the meantime, our colleague Patrick has tested a «pocket knife» for all situations.
When I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
