Cappuccino Cam Lets You Obsessively Eyeball Baristas' Every Move
I try to stick with coffee joints I know and trust, so I don't really have to worry about what's going on behind the bar (I hope), but the gawker in me still likes the idea of a camera trained on the barista's hands, brashly laying bare their every move for scrutiny. (And it's not like I have anything else to do while I wait.) This setup is at an Amanti stand at the Melbourne airport, and now I'm very sad that my coffee machine is busted. [BoingBoing]

We've seen our fair share of high design-minded espresso machines, but the Blue Label -Snail- by Pierre Ittner is without a doubt the sleekest, most comely java juicer we've come across. 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!]

Audi Roadjet's Rear-Console Espresso Machine
Our commute to work most days is the five inches we reach to get the laptop off of the bedside table and into bed, so we read stories about extreme commuting with great horror and begin to think things like the working WMF espresso machine Audi placed in the rear-seat console of its Roadjet concept car might be good ideas. The Roadjet is reportedly going into production for the European market (the US is expected to get the more SUV-like Q5), so it'll be interesting to see if the espresso machine makes it into the final model as an added feature or if the in-car coffee machine will remain just a dream for now.

The Nano Of Espresso Makers
Nespresso is a company that makes damn fine espresso machines at not-so-damn fine prices. Until now, that is. The Nespresso Essenza C90 Espresso machine is a single serve espresso machine that produces big flavor with small results. The C90 is not automatic like other models, but still allows full control over how you create your cup of espresso to wake you up in the morning. Equipped with a 19 bar high pressure pump, thermoblock heating, and manual volume control (??), the C90 guarentees that the cup of espresso you make is up to your standards. It's easy to use too, so there's no one else to blame but yourself if you screw it up. More »
