(Another Oscar-winner, Damien Chazelle, directed Pitt\u2019s first ad for the company.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In the advertising spot, which debuted at the Venice Film Festival and widely on Monday, Pitt makes himself an espresso drink while a humorous voiceover from Italian actor Riccardo Scamarcio guides him through the seemingly easy process and critiques his Italian as Pitt struggles to say \u201cPerfetto\u201d to the narrator\u2019s satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Even Pitt\u2019s furry, four-legged co-star seems to be judging his accent a little, but if you believe a dog that gorgeous does anything but judge everyone around it, you haven\u2019t been paying attention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Speaking of judgement, the machine used by Pitt in the spot retails for $1,499.95 \u2013 a quaint deal compared to the one flashed at the end of the commercial, which goes for $1,999.95. Perfetto for the average person? Probably not. Good thing is we normal folks don\u2019t need a fancy machine for the perfect poor-over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Pour.
