in Australia, that is. Everyone else can enjoy the pictures, at least for now. When we first wrote about this little espresso maker back in January, it did stir quite a commotion among true coffee lovers and design aficionados.

There is the slight delay in production, but the good news are that OTTO will be the better version of itself. Here I am citing - During the final testing phase we've realised breakthroughs in design, enabling an extracting pressure similar to commercial machines. Consistent with our commitment to uncompromised quality we've chosen to include minor modifications to the premier production run and have rescheduling OTTO's arrival for January 2009. Meanwhile you can register here to be one of the firsts to buy OTTO for AU$595 plus shipping & handling. You can ask if they ship internationally ... they possibly will.

A modern interpretation of a design classic, this stove top espresso maker combines classic Italian style with unprecedented functionality. The OTTO espresso maker is designed to produce two espresso shots with steam milk. An automatic cut off prevents burning of the coffee grind, and after the perfect amount of coffee is dispensed, the boiler primes itself for steaming of the milk to produce two perfect homemade lattes. The stainless steel OTTO features minimalist design, and with its bright mirror polished finish looks almost as a piece of art, while still functioning as a great coffee maker. The group cup which holds the coffee in place, when extracting the espresso, doubles as the boiler lid removal tool, allowing the hot boiler lid to be removed for refilling for the next round of coffees. The robust group cup handle and steam control knob also allow the machine to be moved easily when hot. The seals of this stove top espresso maker use DuPont Viton fluoroelastomer, which provides excellent sealing properties as well as unsurpassed durability. Safety valve prevents the buildup of steam pressure inside the boiler past a safe operating point. Large handles are robust and convenient. Coffee is easy to load and a custom coffee tamper allows the operator to tamp coffee grind at a perfect pressure to produce espresso. The OTTO stove top espresso maker - excellent ergonomics, sleek looks and top notch functionality.
