Nespresso goes Single-Malt with the new Pure Origin Grand Cru

It looks like Nespresso – the Swiss company that's making a killing off selling individual espresso capsules for their popular machines – is taking a page out of the scotch whisky playbook with its latest release. Called the Pure Origin Grand Cru, the series comprises three special edition coffees, each coming from an individual plantation – not unlike a single-malt scotch – instead of most blends that draw from numerous sources. The idea, beyond providing a unique flavor, is to support the local ecosystems, making this a green initiative as well as a premium one.
The series includes the Indriya which hails from a plantation in India, the Rosabaya from Colombia and the Dulsao from Brazil. Although pricing and availability have yet to be announced, you can expect to pay a special premium for these premium roasts.

Rev Up with the Lamborghini Coffee Machine

Filed under: Gadgets

I love my little white Mr Coffee -- stains and all he's been a good buddy through many early mornings and late night projects, always making awesome cups of coffee. But, loyal as I am, I can't help but be tempted by what an awesome experience a Tonino Lamborghini coffee machine must make?

But with only 1,000 of the handmade machines out there, not to mention the $1750 price tag (just a little out of my usual coffee budget...) I doubt I'll ever get the chance to find out first hand. I might, however, be indulging in some Lamborghini coffee beans sometime soon (what a treat for Mr Coffee!).
