M&O - The first day - Sights of the good, bad and REALLY ridiculous
So we’ve completed our first day at Maison & Objet in Paris. We’re used to seeing a lot of stuff… but this (almost) takes the cake. I was hoping to start off the day writing about some cool new light fixture, furniture company, etc. Instead I find myself intrigued on why this gadget exists—the Handpresso. I’m a hard core coffee/espresso lover, but this takes it a bit far. They market this thing as essentially a portable espresso maker while out in the wilderness. Really! Who on earth will be worried about their espresso when their Landrover is broken down in the middle of nowhere?! With a few pumps of the handle (think bicycle tire pump), and some hot water (assuming you’ve boiled it on your engine) - and Voila! Espresso. (shaking head)
