The Ferrari-Inspired Brunopasso PD-1 Espresso Machine
I like sports cars, and I LOVE coffee, but I admit I totally don't get why the two seem to get combined so frequently. First we had this Lamborghini-inspired espresso machine and now, from Brunopasso, the PD-1 machine was created with Italian sports cars in mind. Of course there aren't many ways a coffee machine can look like a Ferrari, except of course a shiny red paint job (among other choices), automobile-inspired gauges that form a little mini-dashboard, and a lever made of beechwood for pressing the coffee. $850

Ugh. This is precisely why the International Herald Tribune's design critic, Alice Rawsthorn, wrote this article:
Why the overwhelming numbers of design flops?

I guess if it makes crap espresso, you can at least brag to friends about it as it gathers dust in the corner.
