Scary Espresso Maker Doubles As Lethal Weapon July 30, 2007

I don’t think I’ve ever met a scary-looking espresso maker before so this Saeco Etienne Louis espresso coffee machine is something of a first.
Sure, I’ve been frightened by the cost of some cups of espresso in my time but this thing is outrageous and exciting at the same time. It looks like something that should be attached to Gogo Yubari’s chain in Kill Bill, but the tripod legs tend to give it some sci-fi menace.
The brainchild of Swiss designer, Carlo Borer, the sphere is made from steel while the spikes and legs are fashioned from polished aluminium. There’s no price but I’m sure it’s scary.
In case you think this is still a normal espresso maker, jump now and see it ominously stalking some poor victim at the urinals.-Martin Lynch
