Road to Milan Road to Milan Road to Milan

Road to Milan

It all started with a cup.
From a collaboration born almost by chance with Daniele Ricci in 2023 came a unique shape—one that embodies design, technique, and passion: the same cup that accompanied him to the world podium in Athens.

As the 2025 World Barista Championship in Milan approaches, Club House stands once again beside its Ambassador to capture the preparation, tension, and emotion leading up to the most important challenge.

“Road to Milan” is a documentary series that opens the doors to the backstage, revealing the human and authentic side of the competition: the work, the sacrifices, and the pursuit of excellence.
A journey that celebrates Daniele’s dedication and the magic of coffee like you’ve never seen before.
