Wall-Mounted Coffee Makers

Song Ah Lee's Black Luk Elevates Your Monring Cup of Java

— October 21, 2011 — Art & Design
The wall-mounted coffee maker may be the next big thing in the kitchen if the Black Luk is any indication. This unique design was created by Song Ah Lee to destroy every notion anyone ever had about how morning coffee is made.

The Black Luk mounts to the wall and dispenses java via a small opening. The machine only works using a small cup designed specifically for the Black Luk, so it may alienate some who will only take their coffee from a certain cup. Unfortunately, nothing in the way of technical speculations have been released by Ah Lee, giving viewers only these conceptual renderings to go off of. Still, Black Luk looks like an interesting concept that would fit perfectly into any contemporary home.
