When you really need motivation to wake up!

When the Keurig coffee maker breaks down, I think I know what I’m buying to replace it, the Saeco Etienne Louis espresso coffee machine.

The cover of Etienne Louis is a steel sphere, whereas the spikes and the supports are made from polished aluminium. The removable upper half of the sphere hides the removable water tank. You can brew one or two cups of espresso.

Like the Starck ‘Rocket’ orange juicer, it’s the kind of thing you just have out on the counter, and whether you use it or not, it makes your kitchen unforgettable. With the lack of a Starbucks at the office (but not for long) my coffee consumption has pretty much flip-flopped to having more at home than at the office. Of course in my apartment, I’m still strapped for counter space, so I could never keep this stuff around anyway, but I can dream of one day owning the punk rocker of espresso makers.
