The Perfect Cup of Coffee Costs $3500

If you have some extra cash laying around, then you should consider splashing out on the Swiss-made Jura Z6 coffee machine. For a cool $3500, the machine guarantees a perfect espresso.

The Jura looks different from your typical espresso machine. It sits on the counter like a piece of modern architecture, its aluminum facia billowing and curving like a Frank Gehry façade. The 2.4 liter (81 ounce) water tank, lit from beneath in cool blue light, stands like a slim appendage on the left side of the machine. Below the colour screen is the bank of height-adjustable nozzles (also architecturally lit) that dispense espresso, water, milk, and foam into your mug.

Sure, $3,500 may seem like a lot for an espresso machine. But this is more than that: It’s a daily dose of caffeinated instant gratification, right when you need it most. You might even call it a bargain.
