Welcome to my Blog!

Hey everybody! Thank you for visiting my blog. My name is Saskia and I am a marketing and digital arts student. I am originally from Germany, but currently live in Wilmington, NC.
Maybe you have visited Europe and know that Europeans love traditions and follow them throughout their lives. The one that I am particularly fond of has to do with family, friends, and COFFEE! ;) A lot of you might not know this, but what tea time is for the people in Great Britain, is coffee time for the Germans! Whenever possible we get together with friends, family members, or colleagues and have coffee and cake, and just chat about whatever.
Since I really love this tradition (and coffee) so much, this blog contains information, interesting facts, and funny stories about coffee and coffee lovers.

Enjoy!!!

New Innovations on the Coffee Market

I have done a little bit of research of new products on the coffee market, and found some cool, interesting, and even funny things. I thought I would share some of them with you. 

Coffee Maker Skins – Pimp your coffee maker!

If you like to customize your own products, or change their look every now and then, this is the perfect product for you. Companies like Krups, Cube, Siemens, and Magimix give you the opportunity to give your coffee maker a new design whenever you like. For about $14 you can change the skin of the coffee machine to one that’s more fun to look at.

Handpresso – The portable Espresso Maker!

Do you love Espresso? Do you wish to have the ability to have one wherever you are and whenever you want? You got it! The Handpresso is a new gadget on the coffee market that allows you to have the perfect Americano anywhere. The clear pod on a black stick comes complete with a pressure pump and gauge to ensure that perfect cup of Espresso. And don’t worry about electricity; all you need is hot water, the Handpresso and the convenient little pads that come in a wide variety of flavors! It’s eco-friendly, too. According to the website, “You drink coffee outside or inside and you save energy by not leaving your machine in standby mode. You use Handpresso made to last from selected environmentally-friendly materials and parts.”.
 
Delizio’s Jukebox – Combines Coffee and Music!

The Swiss company Delizio invented this jukebox, which is a slender, attractive machine that allows you to listen to music while preparing coffee. A cable connected to your MP3 player makes it possible. The Delizio Comfort II coffee maker comes in black, white, silver and red, and has a neat design as well.

JavaBot – A walk-in Coffee Machine!

The Javabot is the only walk-in coffee machine in the world. It blends seven different kinds of specially roasted and ground beans, at the right temperature, to give you that perfect cup of coffee. It is the fully-automated system that runs the Roasting Plant Coffee Company in New York. Customers sit there and watch as their coffee beans rush past in pneumatic tubes, as they move from storage bins to staging, roasting station, grinding and a brewing machine where they are dispensed with the repeatable accuracy of a purpose-built machine.

The Mobile Coffee Maker for Vehicles!

No matter if it is the daily commute to work or school, road trips, or whatever it may be, many of us spend quite a lot of time in our cars. So, why not make these car rides as comfortable as possible?! The company WMF had the same thought and created the WMF espresso machine, which is featured in Audi’s latest concept car. The espresso machine is placed in between the passenger and driver seats for easy access. Anytime you sit in traffic now, you can enjoy fresh cup of coffee!

  1. Wow. This was the coolest blog post ever! I really want the coffee maker for the middle console of my car! Haha. Someday we may all have gadgets built into our hands that dispense coffee straight into our mouths... at least it seems that way from the looks of your post. These are all incredible inventions. The walk-in coffee maker is pretty impressive. I discovered a pretty neat invention for making coffee: http://www.hourglasscoffee.com/

    It's an hourglass coffee maker which looks pretty awesome!

  2. Wow! I don't drink coffee, I've never really liked the taste, but this stuff is pretty sweet! I swear I think I'm going to get my roommate one of those skins for Christmas because they're so cute! And I better not tell my Dad about that coffee maker for the car because then he'll have to have one lol.

  3. I really enjoyed reading your blog post! It is always really interesting! Currently, I am not much of a coffee drinker, but if I ever turn into one, I am happy I know about all of these cool and innovative ways to make it! I really like how you included pictures for every coffee gadget as well! It is crazy to me that some people drink so much coffee that it would be beneficial to have it ready to make in a car, but at the same time is it pretty awesome too!
