Outside of its sleek curves, the illusion is enhanced with dashboard-style gauges and a beechwood lever. But that is not where the similarities end—much like a sports car, the Brunopasso does not come cheap at $850. With Ferrari putting their brand on everything from laptops to Segways these days, I'm sure they are kicking themselves for missing out on this one. [Brunopasso via Tuvie via DVICE]

With a boiler capacity of one-fifth of a liter, maxi-cappuccino device drip and Thermocream System filter, the You&Me is available in Shiny Red, Anthracite and Satin Gray for around $138.

According to Google's machine translation, it's forged from aluminum, uses nespresso pods—hopefully not just—and has a 19-bar pump, with the alluring deep blue hue coming from a "flip-flop" lacquer. If extremely attractive espresso machines are your cup of coffee (sorry), be sure to scope out the other prototype designs on the site. [room69 via OhGizmo!]
