The La Pavoni Stradivari Coffee Maker

It's probably a good thing I'm not rich and famous, because if I were I'd have to build a separate home just for all the stuff I'd buy. Seriously.

So last week I posted on the Lamborghini Coffee Machine, which I liked, and got a comment from a reader suggesting I take a look at this La Pavoni Stradivari Wood espresso machine, which I now also like. Great, little Mr Coffee is totally feeling inadequate.

Covered in mirrored brass, this machine is inspired by the Italian violinist Stradivari and takes the piston espresso design you expect from Pavoni and adds elegant sealed hardwood knobs for more comfortable use and, of course, style. Full of the usual features, and maybe a few unique ones, it sells for $879.

Thanks jjefferds!
