This Nespresso machine by the French designer Charles Teyssier is a simple, yet very complicated looking coffee machine. At the top we find the input for the Nespresso cups, at the left side we can see a water tank with a small plexi in to see the water level and at the right side we can chose wether we want a small coffee or a larger one. (Espresso / Lungo)
This concept seems to remind me of both the espresso machine design from Kamil Kurka and the new Dolce Gusto that has been launched recently by Nescafé.
Basic, advanced and professional and profile roasting are all covered in the three latest one-day courses being given in December by IECafe, the Barcelona-based training organisation led by SCAE Authorised Trainer Jon Willassen.
The SCAE’s certified Authorised Trainers, coffee experts with wide experience of their subject, offer courses covering everything from green beans through roasting, brewing and serving the final cup.
The Authorised Trainers are based in most European countries, and offer their courses on a regular basis and in a number of European languages.
To get full details of the three courses, and others, offered by IECafe — as well as details of the many other SCAE Authorised Trainers and their courses — consult the Education section of the website, where you can access the full list — or just click here!
BMW presents to you “Sirena”, based on a 600 $ Saeco machine. It has a 15 bar pump driven stainless steel boiler. It has a dual brew spout which is programmable and two wand’s to switch quickly from frothing to brewing or the other way around. It was designed by the award winning BMW Designworks for Starbucks. An interesting future is the auto-off, which shuts down your machine after being idle for 90 minutes.
The espresso machine was invented in 1901 by a man called Lugia Bezzer. He would like his employees to have a shorter coffee break so he created a device to make coffee faster. This deviced was supposed to save time by using pressure to brew a concentrated shot of coffee. What they called the machine originally was the “Fast Coffee Machine”. Later in the years, the patent of the “Fast Coffee Machine” was sold to Desidero Pavoni in 1905. What he did, is use a piston pump to push water trough a tube for an even finer espresso product.
