If you like the fancy coffee machines at Starbucks but hate using phony Italian words to place your order, check out Nespresso‘s Maestria. With a major nod to the machines found in traditional coffee houses, this red (or white) beauty lets you play the barista without having to write your name on a cup. Authenticity abounds here, even down to the steam pipe on the side which gives you super powers to create frothy cream from milk. Never utter “venti” again, my friend.

Espresso has previously been reserved for coffee shops and Italian restaurants where old men talk with a surprising amount of passion (and volume) about bocce while holding their cups with their pinky fingers extended. Piamo, a portable espresso maker by Lunar, finally gives you the ability to drink sans pinky; anytime, anywhere. Just add water, an espresso pad or ground coffee, maneuver the pieces just so, and then nuke it for 30 seconds. Yes, espresso from your microwave. Now lift that little digit and get to sipping.
