Forget going to your local barista for coffee foam art, designer Huang Guanglei has created a coffee machine that will print any design with foam that you program into it. Although coffee art has become an intriguing art form over time, not everyone has the time or patience to learn it and do it by hand. This machine, cleverly named the iCoffee Machine, is able to sync with your smartphone via Bluetooth so that you can create any image you want with your coffee.
The 'iCoffee Machine' is essentially a brewer plus a printer, transforming your boring old coffee into art every morning. This product would be great to impress house guests and will provide a fun way to enjoy your daily cup of joe.
