Compact Cup-Made Coffees

The Piamo Espresso Maker Brews Your Perfect Drink in the Microwave

— February 1, 2013 — Art & Design
Coffee connoisseurs could be shuddering at the thought of the Piamo Espresso Maker preparing the strong black brew in the microwave; however, the concept promises a high quality caffeinated beverage. Developed by the experienced inventors at Gemodo Coffee, the palm-sized appliance is sure to save you both time and money.

Lunar Europe had a hand in the compact and attractive design of this product, ensuring that all four pieces fit together perfectly to do their jobs as one. A filter cap and a filter inlay sit atop a water chamber; once they're fastened, you flip the stack over and secure it to the rim of the demitasse. After just 30 seconds of heating, the Piamo Espresso Maker has produced a delicious shot right in your coffee cup.
