Rise and shine: 10 Coffee appliances we love

Ahh coffee, one minute it’s bad for us and making us hallucinate, the next it’s a miracle cure for everything from Alzheimer’s to baldness. But whether you’re a self confessed Starbucks addict or an “only the finest” coffee connoisseur, there’s no denying how amazing the stuff is. Watch this lovely piece of coffee propaganda if you don’t believe me.

However, arguably the best things about coffee aren’t always the way it smells and tastes. We love the act of drinking, discussing and most importantly making the stuff. Therefore it’s no surprise there are all kinds of gadgets and appliances that have been specially designed to enhance that experience.
