The Aspresso machine by In-oh Yoo & Bong-yup Song for Metatrend Institute is pretty much the greatest espresso innovation. Not because anything new is happening to the espresso, but rather, it is the addition of music that revolutionizes the system.
Using Android technology to tell about the intricacies of the coffee about to be enjoyed, the Aspresso machine can also read the QR codes on top of the coffee pods. Each pod comes with its own song encoded in the QR code and differs depending on variety. I'll take a latte and a little N.W.A., please.
