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.

Rev Up with the Lamborghini Coffee Machine

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

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!).

Nespresso by Porche Design

Filed under: Dining

The Siemens Nespresso machine by Porche Design is a fully automatic espresso maker that does everything a the touch of a button. Traditionalists might frown on using an automatic machine instead of a manual, but the automatic has an advantage in that it is very consistent, while the performance of a manual machine relies heavily on the skill of the user. This machine has 19 bars of pressure, automatic volume control (for espresso vs cappuccino), a digital display that offers eight different languages and a steam want that can easily be adjusted to either latte or cappuccino frothing. The only real drawback is that the machine uses pods instead of real ground coffee. The list price is $1,549 Swiss Francs, or about $1,263.

Mukka Express

Filed under: Dining, Gadgets

With one of the most attractive designs of any coffee maker, the Mukka Express is very unique in performance as well. It won the Best Design Category at the 2006 housewares show last month. Mukka seems to be a play on the words "moo" and "coffee" or "cafe," indicating that this tool makes cappuccinos - but it makes them on the stove-top. Each Mukka can make two mugs of cappuccino, complete with foamy milk, as the special pressure valve is designed to steam it with little more than the touch of a button. Did we mention that it also comes in a black-and-white cow print? There is an instructional video available on the Bialetti website that details the performance of the Mukka Express, complete with product demonstration. Price: $89.
