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.
French Press Press To-Go is a disposable single serve French Press Plunger. The patented pending French Press To-Go Plunger is conveniently pre-packaged with coffee in an innovative spring loaded filter plunger.
Simply add 10 fl oz of hot water, the French Press To-Go brews quickly with little preparation and leaves no mess to clean up.
When you come in contact with coffee every day, which i’m sure you do (otherwise you wouldn’t be here), a lot of different parts take a big role in your life. For an example, if you would like a very nice espresso you should considder buying the correct coffee beans, otherwise you would never be able to get it just right. Altough it could be very decent, not perfect. Also the coffee/espresso machine is very important, and so is the grinding process. But in the end there is only one part remaining. That’s right, the coffee mug. I’ve looking around on the web and i’ve found the 5 coolest coffee mug’s to show you. Some are available on the market, others are concepts.
