Nespresso for Ferrari Coffee Machine

Filed under: Gadgets

What do you do when you need a cup of coffee, and need it fast? Start up your Ferrari espresso machine, of course! This machine is the brainchild of designer Ilgar Rustamov, and while it remains a concept at present, knowing Ferrari's penchant for churning out branded...well, everything, it could be only a matter of time before we see it on store shelves.

The design, as you can see, centers around a Prancing Horse-emblazoned carbon-fiber racing helmet. Open the tab to pour in the water, lift the visor to brew your cup of espresso, and pull out the chin to pour out any excess spillage. You'll be buzzing like an F1 engine in no time.

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

by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) —

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.

Nespresso Limited Edition Sparkle Pink Essenza

I am not a morning person and sometimes the smell of coffee brewing is the only thing that will lure me out of bed. If I had this blinged-out espresso maker to look forward to, getting up might be a little easier. Covering an espresso machine in Swarovski crystals may seem a bit over the top, but the result is sparkly and fabulous. This Sparkle Pink Essenza espresso machine is a limited edition with only 100 available for purchase. If pink isn't your thing, there is also a Brilliant Black version. Both are available at Nespresso Boutique Bar on Madison Avenue in New York for $1000.

Nespresso by Porche Design

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

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.

I'm a sucker for cubes in design (especially the late lamented Apple Cube) so I love the look of the Nespresso Le Cube. The Nepresso system is the ultimate pop and go system, toss in a capsule and you are good to go. It has a 19 bar pressure pump and automatic brewing quantities so you can program the size of your drink according to cup size, automatic capsule ejection, removable water reservoir and dual cup trays. The basic white model sells for $299.

This is only a concept right now but ah, what a dream, hot coffee on demand in your car. The Nespresso InCar coffee machine is just one of the winners of the Nespresso design contest which were revealed at the Milan furniture fair Salone del Mobile. Nespresso created the concept for European design students to imagine the future of the capsule coffee. The winning concept was the Nespresso Card from Simone Spalvieri and Valentina Del Ciotto of the Politecnico di Milano in Italy that holds coffee preferences for registered individuals. The card is a personal chipcard and won the €12,000 cash prize. Thijs van Cuyk and Lavrans Laading from Artez Academie Arnhem in The Netherlands created the Nespresso InCar and picked up € 7,000 for their trouble. Gizmag has pictures of other winners and concepts.
