My Next Coffee Machine
I am totally smitten by this simple exploration of basic shapes like rectangle, cylinder and hole. The resulting coffee machine is a stunning design that is bare-minimal and intuitive. The only thing different is the operations; the brew is made by pressing the cylinder inside. Hope Nespresso likes the concept too!

A lot can happen over a cup of coffee. Being a design addict I still treasure this disposable coffee cup I was served in once.

Ten Way To Get Your Fix – Coffee Machines & Kettles
As the winter sets in, more of us are going to be downing the liquid gold, just to keep out the chills. Coffee! A warm mug to curl your hands around, just as you watch the first snowflakes hit the ground. Here are Ten ways to get your fix; machines, coffee sets and kettles. I like mine instant coffee with milk and strong; how about you?
10) Birch-wood Coffee Set by Andrea Branzi
Kicking off this countdown is an elegant silver and birch-wood coffee set designed by Andrea Branzi. Made from silver dipped in acid to get the rustic look, the set is quite a collector’s item.
9) Muji Non-directional Coffee Maker by Kazushige Miyake
I don’t get what a “Non-directional Coffee Maker” is, but I’m willing to hear your opinion on it.
Technically Kavha is the Kashmiri way of preparing tea, with saffron and cardamom; so it quite surprises me that a coffee maker has been christened thus. Any ways the Kahva is a beautiful way to brew your coffee.
7) The Barista by Patrik Pettersson
Perfect solution for multiple coffee addicts in an office, this machine dispenses many cups of coffee at one go.
6) Coffee Maker by Tom Metcalfe
This one’s for the serious brewers who go to any lengths for their cuppa java! I love the video in this post, do re-visit and check it out.
Made of twin-spherical bowls, in the Cacoon, the water is heated via induction in the outer sphere and a pump in the handhold transports the warm water to the filter and finally the ready coffee drips into the inner sphere. The resulting cavity (where the water was before) between the both spheres, now serves as a natural insulator and keeps the coffee warm.
A service tray that doubles up as coffee warmers! I can pictures us warming our hands over it!
3) Enjoy It While Flying by Balazs Millete & Telekes Tamas
Enjoy It While Flying is a concept brewer of Nespresso that is to be enjoyed abord your private aircraft, as you jetset from one glam destination to another. Strictly for those with the moola; Plebs please endure the airline trash you get.
2) Pearl by Andreas Diefenbach
This Ceramic Coffee machine is refined with a gilded touch, and is quite an exquisite creation.
1) Untitled by Brice Genre Hanika Perez
Thanks to its thermo-sensitivity, artistic patterns appear on the surface of this coffee machine when hot water runs through it. Almost like have an art piece hanging up on the wall.

Caffe Inn: The Espresso Machine That’s Right at Home On Tony Stark’s Chest [Espresso]
Who knew that the real power source driving Iron Man onward and upward into the stratosphere was really just a strong, trendy espresso machine?
Designed by Frenchman Charles Teyssier, the “Caffe Inn” concept is purely aesthetic, offering little in the way of improvements on the tried and true espresso machine formula. It does, however, remind me of Iron Man, and that’s enough. [Design Blog]

BeMoved coffee machine will make you jump for your caffeine fix
A robot barista-filled future may still be a long ways off, but it looks like you may just be answering to a machine of another sort for your coffee sooner than you think — at least if Douwe Egberts has its way. While it’s still a concept, the company’s so-called BeMoved coffee machine promises to finally bring the disparate worlds of hot beverages and motion control together at last, and do nothing short of raise “human interaction with a coffee machine to a higher level” in the process. Because, really, you can never truly feel close to a coffee machine until it’s taunted you to jump up and down to fill your cup of joe. Of course, you can also do some slightly more practical things like tailor your coffee exactly the way you like using the massive touchscreen, and even check up on the weather and news while you wait. No word on any test markets just yet, but folks can apparently check out the concept first-hand at Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven this week — or simply head on past the break for a video.
