“The rate of household penetration in Germany is less than 10 per cent so far, it’s much higher in Switzerland and Austria. DeLonghi is exhibiting its fully automatic coffee machines, irons, home air-conditioners and products from its subsidiary brand Kenwood at Europe’s biggest fair in the sector.

IFA opens Friday and runs till September 9.

According to coffee-statistics.com “Germany is now the world’s second largest consumer of coffee in terms of volume at 16 per person.”

Geltner said the brand lifted its German sales 15 per cent in the first half of this year and expected German sales of 125 million euros for the full year, mainly on the back of growth in sales of high-end coffee machines costing 1,000 euros or more.

For coffee fanatics, we recommend DeLonghi’s coffee art video here on t5m -  where renowned coffee artist Soren Stiller Markussen creates Barrack Obama and David Cameron using just chocolate and foam!

However, when it comes to the ladies, home grown talent featured prominently in the list with Cheryl Cole (17%), Lily Allen and Victoria Beckham (both 11%), and Emma Watson (9%) leading the way.

To celebrate these findings, DeLonghi have commissioned the world renowned coffee artist Søren Stiller Markussen to create ‘latte etchings’ of these people we most talk about over a cup of coffee, with Richard Foster capturing the artwork in a series of exlusive photographs.

Using just chocolate and milk-foam, Søren recreates some of the world’s most famous faces in the world’s most delicious coffee.
