You’ll have to tamp the grind and lock it in place, but the machine handles the extraction. It plugs into the wall with an especially gorgeous cloth-insulated cord, and delivers piping hot shots to two waiting demitasses in two or three minutes. It’s as suitable for pre-ground as it is for Kopi Luwak (that’s Indonesian civet-cat coffee, for the uninitiated). Either way, it adds a countertop touch of la bella figura while delivering your daily dose.
