A Caffeine blast from the past

Since the meteoric rise of instant coffee, people haven’t quite brewed coffee the old-fashioned way in a while. And no, an automated espresso machine using ground coffee isn’t really the old-fashioned way either. The folks at Continuum decided that maybe it was time to bring the Ye Olde style of brewing coffee back. The Crema Coffee Robot 1986, a result of that endeavour, is a coffee pump with an aesthetic that reminds me of Alessi’s old days.

The process is super simple. Raise the piston to expose the filter chamber. Place the coffee grounds in said filter chamber. Next, fill the upper reservoir with piping hot water and clamp down. Lower the lever so that the water is pushed through the ground coffee. Don’t forget to put your cup underneath to gather the espresso, or you’ll be in a steamy mess!

The Crema Coffee Robot 1986 won a Red Dot Award for the year 2015.

Teabag? Here’s a Teacage.

The good thing about tea-infusers is that you can reuse them. The bad thing is that once you’re done with the brewing, you have to keep that dripping infuser on your counter-top or in an empty cup. Now that isn’t elegant. The Portable Teapress does something clever. Once you’re done with brewing, just press downwards and the infusing chamber collapses and locks the tea-leaves inside, stopping your tea from becoming over-brewed and bitter. It’s also pretty small, making it the perfect addition to your travel kit. Now that’s how you brew tea on-the-go with style!

The Portable Teapress was awarded with the prestigious Red Dot Award in the year 2015.

Kettles that whistle are too conventional. Not to mention, noisy too. What you need is something not just discreet, but classy too. The Flag kettle does its share of theatrics to tell you your drink has brewed. It raises a flag. Now isn’t that just one talented kettle? Who says only mailboxes are allowed to be this awesome with flags?!

The Flag Kettle is the recipient of the Red Dot Award for the year 2015.
