Product Description
Meet the Portofino Coffee Bar, a larder coffee station that transforms an ordinary larder cabinet into a hotel-style coffee bar in minutes. No new cabinets, no trades, no mess: the Portofino slides straight into a larder cabinet of the right size, instantly upgrading the kitchen you already have.
Choose your width, height and finish. It comes in two widths, 600mm and 1000mm, four larder heights, and two Egger woodgrain finishes: Brown Warmia Walnut, with its rich, tactile grain, and Natural Halifax Oak, a lighter, natural oak look. The appliance shelf is designed around real machines, comfortably housing the Nespresso Creatista Pro, Vertuo and Original line machines, plus standard pod machines, compact espresso machines and milk frothers. The working height lets you steam, froth and pour without pulling anything out of the cupboard. The 1000mm version has a wider 844mm coffee machine area, giving you room for larger machines and more space to work.
Precision-manufactured in our Manchester workshop by Aspin Collins, this coffee bar cabinet insert is made from 18mm Egger board with colour-matched ABS edgebanding, the same specification used by high-end kitchen designers. This is trade-quality cabinetry, made by joiners, not flat-pack. The 600mm Portofino weighs approximately 70kg and the 1000mm approximately 110kg. Every Portofino is made to order, so please allow up to 3 weeks for production.
Your Portofino is designed to fit standard larder cabinets and slides in easily. The 600mm suits a standard 600mm larder, and the 1000mm suits a 1000mm wide larder cabinet. If your larder is a non-standard size, contact us and we will make your Portofino to suit your measurements.

2. What larder heights does the Portofino Coffee Bar fit?
It is made to suit the standard larder heights of 1920mm, 1945mm, 1970mm and 2150mm. These fit most standard larder cabinets easily, and we are happy to confirm the fit from your measurements.
3. Can I order a different size?
Yes. If your larder is not a standard size, contact us with your measurements and we will make the Portofino to suit. Made-to-measure units are built in our Manchester workshop.
4. Can I use the Portofino in a 1000mm wide larder?
