A coffee displays the face of our next date in a cup

Those disappointed with dating apps and other speed dating apps have a new alternative to find a soul mate. Her name ? Espresso Yourself. This pop-up for singles, which opened its doors from January 19 to 20 in London, offers its customers the chance to find love... in their cup of coffee!

4 possible profiles

This idea is the British dating site Match who had it. The concept is simple:just choose a “femmericano” or a “chappucino” (“chap” meaning “guy”) when entering the establishment. The dating site then offers four user profiles and all the customer has to do is select their favorite. This is where the magic happens:thanks to 3D printing, the face of the chosen person is drawn on the coffee and information about them is written on the cup. Customers who are won over can then use the link provided to them to get in touch with the lucky winner!

Want to test 3D printing without looking for love? Espresso Yourself also offers the opportunity to taste “selffees”, in other words coffees bearing your image. There's something for everyone!
