Coffee lovers have it good. Like, real good. Especially when you consider the amount of different machines used to make their favourite brews. They’ve got latte art devices, portable gadgets for brewing cups on the go, as well as pop culture-inspired appliances, like R2-D2 coffee presses.
How the heck do you beat stuff like that?
Well, the answer is simple: think simplicity – a quality that’s the selling point of the Newton Espresso, quite possibly the most minimalist coffee machine in the world.
Bringing things back to basics, this straightforward machine operates solely via a hand-operated lever that makes use of a piston to create water pressure. Caffeine geeks, you know the rest. The force exerted will allow you to customise aspects of your brew, like bean quality and tamping pressure.
Rudimentary yes, but highly effective.
And what about the Newton Espresso’s design? Let’s just say that it’s absolutely gorgeous. Every working compartment in this unsophisticated device looks stunning, from the nicely polished lacquered wood for the handle and base, to the shining gleam of the anodised aluminium cylinder.
It’s definitely a must-add addition to the home. Trouble is, it’s not even in the manufacturing stage yet, let alone out in the market, with the parent company due to start a Kickstarter campaign later this October.
If you’re interested in scoring this machine though, and want to be among the first few backers, look out for updates here.
