Tchibo, continuing its 75th anniversary celebrations throughout the year and offering surprises to its customers, has updated the drink glasses available in its stores with a special design. The designer glasses, which will be available in stores until the end of the year, artistically tell the brand's passionate story, from soil to glass, while also reflecting the joyful memories shared with coffee.

The most striking aspect of the design is the depiction of people who bring joy to life's extraordinary moments, inspired by the brand's principle of "adding joy to life's ordinary moments." These images emphasize that Tchibo is not just a coffee brand, but an integral part of a lifestyle.
