Cafe Retro, £150 by Kenwood
What's so great about it?
For some of you (OK - us), coffee is best enjoyed in a swishy skirt at a curvy chrome counter and this funky gadget is tapping right into that retro vibe. Available in red, silver or cream, it has all the Fifties charm you could dream of (analogue temperature gauge and toggle switches, anyone?) including the price.
Coffee purists may look for something a bit more sophisticated, but it has decent pressure and the on/off switch is illuminated, so you'll remember to switch it off when you go to bed.
The science: H 35cm x W30cm x D 32cm; 0.7ltr water tank; 15 bar pressure.
In other words: Pretty colours, bargain price and makes your kitchen look nice - what more do you want?
