Jura's Exclusive Signature Coffee Machines

Filed under: Dining


Jura is releasing a new set of signature coffee machines this spring that will not only make you a great cup of Cappucino, Latte, Machiatto, or Ristretto at the simple touch of a button, but will also add some serious style to your kitchen in your choice of unique finishes: the Z5 comes in aluminum and rhodium with a Swarovski-encrusted rotary dial, the J5 is your choice of Columbian walnut or northern birch veneer finished in 15 coats of high-gloss lacquer, or the ENA 5 is finished in fine handstitched red or brown leather.

All that style and of course they still promise awesome functionalities like perfect grind, water temperature, and pressure every time plus fun features like a height-adjustable spout and cup illumination. Pricing is yet to be announced but look for these this June exclusively at Harrods.

OTTO Stove Top Espresso Maker


I can't help it, my first thought whenever I see something so overly shined up like this is ugh, I'm going to get fingerprints all over it. But fingerprints or not, if exterior appearance has anything to do with it the OTTO Stove Top Espresso Maker must make a pretty tasty brew. And if it doesn't well, then at least it looks great sitting in your kitchen.

Made almost entirely of stainless steel, the OTTO comes packaged in a premium travel case complete with two Italian-designed latte glasses, a stainless steel milk jug, and a barista training session on DVD. $420

Starbucks Unveils $599 Espresso Machine

Filed under: Gadgets


Bryant Simon, author of the upcoming book Consuming Starbucks, believes that your daily fix of Starbucks coffee is a gift you give yourself. And the more expensive the gift, the more you love yourself. With high hopes that you love yourself very much, Starbucks has introduced their new Sirena espresso maker. Co-developed with BMW's design team, this machine isn't the most expensive Starbucks offers, but it will set you back a hefty $599. Available at 2,100 suburban Starbucks stores as well as online, the Sirena features the Rapid Steam Boiler system and a commercial quality portafilter with an adapter that adjusts to the coffee's grind. At 15" tall, it is small enough to fit nicely on your counter and promises to produce the perfect shot of espresso every single time.

Victoria Arduino Venus Century Espresso Machine

Filed under: Dining, Gadgets

If you love both espresso and having something exclusive, then this Victoria Arduino Venus Century Espresso Machine (say that ten times fast!) is worth checking out. Only 100 of them were created, and they're currently selling #34, with the first one having gone to the Pope. The first Victoria Arduino machine was built in 1905, and in the years since their reputation has grown to one symbolizing beauty, elegance, and refinement (among many other things on their list!). This particular espresso machine design was created by Pier Teresio Arduino and can be yours for just a tad under $20,000.

Bodum Granos Espresso Machine

Filed under: Estates

A post on Product Dose led me to the latest cool coffee gadget from Bodum. The Bodum Grano Espresso Machine comes with a steam wand and one touch simplicity. The pump espresso machine is programmable and works with ground coffee or espresso pods. It also has a cup warmer and a water bottle adapter. It sells for $499. Very cute in a spaceship sort of way but I wonder if this thing ends up looking pretty battered after not a lot of use.
