This porcelain espresso maker called Seppl (chuckle) made me look. Seppl attaches to the wall which helps keep the work space open, ideal for small NYC kitchens. Quite a beautiful apparatus, no? Designed by Arvid Haeusser.
(Wish we could get one to try it here at
Café Jonnie, our http://studiomates.com/ coffee cafe run by studiomate Jonnie.)
(Thank you Peter)
What a beautiful piece!

That is seriously high tech but I like how it attaches to the wall. If my fiance saw that, he’d go nuts as a coffee snob!

mmm. It is an interesting concept. It has a simple and soft appeal but still looks like a serious espresso machine. Glass would have been a mistake as it would have taken over the persona of a laboratory instrument.Wood as a base gives it a certain appeal. It’s longevity as a “wet area” instrument would have some concern in our humble opinion. As with most designs there are influences from the past..This machine has a nice combination of historical spices added to the ingredients of its design. A medley of other historical machines can be seen from the boiler (La peppina by Fe-ar) to the Drip tray and wall mounted option (faema Velox).
All in all I am impressed with the design and an curious to how well a shot it produces…
How would this go as a lever machine and if this has a vibe pump how would those vibrations eventually effect the porcelain?
