The thing about making coffee – proper coffee – is that it’s really hard. That’s why the drink gained such a reputation for coolness in the first place. Drinking coffee was like eating truffles (real truffles, the kind that pigs find growing upside down under the ground – not posh chocolates): you did it as much because the process of making coffee was tricky as you did because you liked the stuff. A black silver coffee maker, though, takes all that irksomeness away: leaving the coffee lover with their infinite varieties – cappuccino, latte, macchiato, espresso, and on and on – and no endless attempts to get it all right. A black silver coffee maker makes making coffee really easy – and it looks great, no matter what kind of kitchen it ends up in. That’s a very Italian way of doing things: the black silver coffee maker looks cool, it is cool – but it’s actually also a bit of a cheat.
The black silver coffee maker is blessed with an “offset anything” colour scheme – the two tone kitchen equivalent of an old Ford. You can have any colour you like, as long as it’s black silver. Coffee makers tend to be designed, of course, with transferrable environments in mind: people redecorate their kitchens endlessly, especially now they can’t afford to move anymore; but they don’t tend to change their coffee maker unless it breaks. The black silver coffee maker goes with old style decor, modernist, functional and everything in between.
The black silver coffee maker is also capable of the mean feats that used only to be seen in industrial coffee making machines: a black silver coffee maker can make single or multiple cups of any kind of coffee one cares to name. Another example of the ways in which the black silver coffee maker performs the trick of being very complicated and really rather easy at the same time: every cup you get out of your black silver coffee maker tastes as though it has been filtered in the Colombian mountains by an old gang boss, even if it’s actually just been popped out of a cartridge loader.
