We don't speak German, unfortunately, so we can't give you the full scoop on these gorgeous espresso machine prototypes from Pierre Ittner and Room 69. Pictured above is his Café Macchina - Red Hot design. Serious style! Check out the other models below.
See more photos and details (in German!) at Room69.

And if you can't wait for those espresso machines to come out, try one of these other more conventional brewing methods:
• Vacuum Siphon Brewer
• The Turkish Ibrik
• The French Press
• The Chemex Carafe
• The Drip Pot

Gorgeous!
Here's my attempt at translation:
Classic espresso machine with water talk and coffee-bean tank as well as integrated grinder. Milk steamer on the side. The machine has organic forms, every rounded piece has movement in it. No edges. The lever for the milk steamer and the lever for the coffee grinder and large, organic shapes and tower like flags in the sky. A pressure gauge in the middle for the user. Housing is aluminum polished and laquered red.

Thanks! Can you tell if any are actually in production? They all look like prototype renderings...

It doesn't seem like you can buy any of them... they sure are pretty renders though!
