For coffee-drinkers who care as much about how their coffee is made as how it tastes, the Strietman ES3 espresso maker would probably be an appealing option for whipping up that morning brew.
This beautiful machine, made of birch wood and copper, is not only lovely to look at, but is also compact and capable of being wall-mounted. This feature would certainly be a plus in small, space-starved kitchens.
Using a piston to pump hot water through the coffee grounds to produce its dark “elixir”, there is an elegance to the simple brewing mechanism of the ES3. With its built-in electric water heater, users may also specify the exact temperature they would like their coffee to be.
According to Fast Co. Design, the ES3 would be retailing for US$1,700—would you pay such a hefty price for an espresso maker, even if it is as gorgeous as this one?
