Next Level Coffee was founded in 2021 by Dr. Marius Kütemeyer, Dominik Maier, and Markus Unger. Their goal is to make café-quality coffee easily accessible at home—something that previously required barista skills when using portafilter machines.
At its core, this young company is a data-driven coffee tech enterprise, equipped with an intelligent software platform and scalable data analytics tools that also leverage artificial intelligence algorithms. Currently, Next Level Coffee is launching the innovative coffee concept nunc. in the German market, centered around a technologically new portafilter espresso machine with a separate, connected grinder.
At the heart of this phygital (physical + digital) ecosystem is the customer and their user experience (UX), bringing together the disciplines of coffee, data, and technology.
About nunc.
nunc. is an impressive, innovative coffee concept centered around a completely re-engineered portafilter espresso machine with a connected grinder. The ecosystem seamlessly combines cutting-edge technology with digital tools and platforms, alongside deep coffee expertise and data-driven insights into customer preferences.
The exceptional customer experience is based on the successful integration of hardware, software, and user experience. This concept extends across all areas of coffee production, processing, and roasting—from the machine to the app, from selected coffee varieties and taste differentiation to smart and convenient coffee delivery. A key feature is the automatic, intelligent adjustment of the machine to each coffee type via NFC chip, offering users a guaranteed perfect result—with no barista knowledge required.
At the same time, this revolutionary concept covers the entire value chain, from close partnerships with certified coffee farmers who adhere to strict ecological and social standards, to selected specialty roasters ensuring the quality of the exclusively curated nunc. coffee varieties. Thanks to digital connectivity, customers benefit from full transparency—from farm to cup.
