There are few small splendors in life that can equate to a rich cup of espresso. However, besides enjoying it at the local coffee shop, the task of making the beverage at home is daunting given the expertise needed by a trained barista. Enter the Nespresso Citiz. This handsome machine, sporting a vintage 40s-50s era look, easily produces stellar espresso with the touch of a button. The simplicity of the Citiz is matched with a 19 bar pressure system and can produce a hot cup of Java in less than 30 seconds. The only drawback is being limited to the Nespresso collection, as it uses proprietary capsules to brew the coffee. I wouldn’t say that this is for espresso purists, but for someone who enjoys them without the need of overcomplicating things the Citiz makes life abit simpler. Plus, George Clooney sponsors the company. That has to mean something, right? $280 at Williams Sonoma.
