A futuristic espresso machine concept from Adam Zerbib, it is very interesting to combine the pragmatic, futuristic, and the original use of espresso machine. The design combines the cup and the coffee machine into one, safe some space in your cabinet, plus it fits to your modern kitchen interior (look like a white tree with its branches to me).
