Once in the 1980s we had a coffee maker at home. It exploded and sprayed the walls with boiling water. Guess this will never happen with this designer piece ever.
Engineering and Design Student Shmuel Linski created this amazing concrete coffee maker at Shenkar College, Israel.
Espresso Solo is a new approach towards kitchen design and deliberately chooses a robust, heavy and hard material to transform it into a decorative piece. He says in this interview that he wanted to use an unexpected material so instead of choosing plastic or nickel he went for looking more cement.
And what are the extra advantages of the idea? Concrete is cheap, easy to handle and the process from molding until the final product is fairly quick.
Amazing piece of interior design and...you'll think twice where to place it in the kitchen. it won't be the lightest piece to fiddle around with.
Some pictures of the molding process - which is always the most interesting part:
And the ready product. We wonder what could be the weight...
