For those who have everything: The Scanomat TopBrewer
Are you a coffee lover who hates having to ever look at a coffee machine?
Are you a coffee lover who hates having to ever look at a coffee machine? The Scanomat TopBrewer hides all the mechanical mess under a counter so that all you see is a swan-necked custom faucet. Designed by a Danish inventor who spent almost $25 million on development, the system takes orders via a mobile-phone app. Choose espresso, cappuccino, or latte—at the exact blends and temperatures of your -choosing—and your cup will be filled in about 15 seconds. Add $8,000 to the price of the standard model, and you can also order juice or flavored coffees from the same spout.
$11,000 (approx.), scanomat.com
