The 911 has existed since 1963. Espresso, for much longer. Yet, both share the same obsession: doing better without changing what already works perfectly.

Two objects that refuse to age

In 1963, Porsche presented the 901 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. A few months later, renamed 911 due to a trademark dispute with Peugeot, it began a career that continues today. Over 60 years. Hundreds of thousands of units. And a silhouette recognized at first glance.

This is not nostalgia. This is design genius.

The philosophy of evolutionary perfection

Ferdinand Butzi Porsche, the designer of the original 911, created something rare: a shape that works. Natural aerodynamics, perfect visibility, rear engine that creates a unique behavior. Each generation has improved the formula without ever betraying it.

Espresso follows the same logic. The basic recipe — 7g of coffee, 25ml of water, 9 bars of pressure, 90°C — hasn't changed for decades. But each generation of roasters, baristas, and machines refines the result.

At Carrera Café, this philosophy is our daily life

We are located at 72 Champlain Boulevard, in Old Quebec. The name Carrera comes directly from the Porsche 911 Carrera. Not by chance. By conviction that the best-designed things deserve to be celebrated — whether it's a car or a cup of coffee.

Every espresso we serve is the result of the same obsession: extracting the best from an exceptional bean, with mastered technique, in an inspiring setting.
