Overview
- Since January, Cotti has opened stores in Cologne (three), Hamburg (now two), Düsseldorf and Berlin, accelerating its presence in major German cities.
- Sub‑€1 espresso via app orders and social‑media giveaways drive traffic, with the first three drinks priced at €1.99 for new app registrants.
- On‑site tests reported plastic disposables, limited amenities such as no restrooms, slow service and mild, standardized espresso from automatic machines.
- The format mirrors LAP Coffee’s digital, automation‑heavy approach as the Berlin start‑up continues to expand and operates a Deutsche Bahn concession in Munich through April.
- Cotti says it runs about 18,000 locations in 28 countries and has signaled interest in Bavaria via a Munich hiring post, which does not confirm store openings.
