Elektra espresso makers: Impossibly beautiful kitchen appliances

Elektra retro espresso makers

Coffee is one of those things I just don't feel strongly about; the flavor doesn't do it for me, and if I need a buzz, I'll go for my beloved Diet Coke instead.

Even so, I don't think I've ever seen anything as beautiful as these Elektra espresso makers. They look like something imagined by Jules Verne or HG Wells. To hell with coffee; I want these as sculpture. (Via BoingBoing Gadgets.)

- Less HG Wells - more Third Reich!

Sorry Babe - but I have say I can't agree with you.

But you still love me don't you?

We just watched the last season of the Sopranos and i noticed that Carmela has one of these in her kitchen.

I don't know what to say... I was wrong - Oh so very wrong. Very beautiful - very tasteful...

Tony is still seeing Melfi isn't he?
