30 Second Barista Gadget

         

 

The title says it all really, “30 second Barista Gadget” i.e. this gadget produces a great Italian coffee or frothy milk in just 30 seconds.

For those non coffee drinkers who don’t know what a Barista is here is the definition from Wikipedia:

“The word barista (plural: baristi [masculine or mixed sex] or bariste [feminine]) is of Italian origin. In Italy, a barista is a “bartender,” who typically works behind a counter, serving both hot (such as espresso) and cold alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.”

The espresso coffee machine comes in either black or red and is very simple to use. The first step is to fill the reservoir with water, followed by insertion of the coffee or milk pod into the tray. This coffee machine produces 15 bar of pressure when the lever is pulled to extract rich coffee and produce a nice thick foam.

This gadget has good reviews from users and is widely thought to be one of the best coffee machines available today. Included in the price is a cappuccino cup, latté glass, and enough coffee pods (100% ground Arabica beans) to prepare 10 drinks (additional pods are widely available).

This gadget is an ideal office coffee machine for people working long hours and requiring coffee to keep themselves going throughout their shift.

2 Carat Mug

 

This gadget is the ultimate windup for any girlfriend.  What appears to be a “Diamond” ring in a nicely packaged presentation box is indeed a porcelain mug. Within the presentation box all that can be observed is the handle of the mug which is shaped and designed like a standard engagement ring.

The scene has to be set, i.e. nice candle lit dinner (possibly on the anniversary of first meeting your girlfriend or on her birthday works well as well). Present the box to your girlfriend then watch her face light up then drop as she realized that an elegant ring is actually a mug.
