Ritzy Steampunk Java Makers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Alpha Dominche's Stylish Steampunk Coffee Maker Costs a Cool $15,000

— April 24, 2013 — Luxury
If you want some style to go with your morning java and have an extra $15,000 burning a hole in your pocket, then this steampunk coffee brewer from Alpha Dominche is totally up your alley.

Granted, the steampunk coffee brewer or 'Steampunk 4.0' likely isn't intended for use in a bachelor's kitchen, but rather for upscale coffee shops. What sets the steampunk coffee brewer apart from other models that you would find at Walmart is in the details, both big and small. This coffee maker can make four cups of coffee at the same time at various settings, with an average ratio of 60 to 80 cups per hour. The design is also super stylish and includes an option to place the brewing portion of the coffee maker under the desk, with only the glass containers and nozzle visible over the coffee bar's counter.

The design was so striking that the Specialty Coffee Association of America Exposition gave the Alpha Dominche Steampunk 4.0 a '2012 SCAA Best New Product' winner award.

2. High-end Restaurant - Gourmet restaurants can provide customers with a more upscale and luxurious dining experience by incorporating unique and innovative coffee-making equipment like the Steampunk 4.0, which elevates the overall dining experience for the customer.
3. Coffee Maker Manufacturer - The Steampunk 4.0 demonstrates the potential in creating customizable and flexible coffee makers for both commercial and personal use, allowing coffee makers to differentiate themselves in a highly competitive market.
