Well known for their sexy and creative coffee maker designs Nespresso gives us a peek at the future of coffee designs with the announcement of the winners of their second [Nespresso Design Contest](http://www.nespresso.com/events/#DESIGN-CONTEST/THE-EVENT/THE-CONTEST)at an awards ceremony in Milan.

The four winning designs are:
