Espresso equipment manufacturer Slayer
— known for custom machines with highly stylized and distinctive group
heads, levers and legs — has created a 24-carat-gold-plated espresso
machine. It is, as you would expect, a stunner, featuring three group
heads; padauk wood accessories, trim and handles; and loads and loads of
gold.
The machine was ordered not by the King of France but by Doce Coffee and Brigadeiro,
a New York coffee shop and bakery scheduled to open this summer in New
York City, at 328 W. 15th Street in Chelsea. The shop will have a focus
on South American coffees and baked goods, and Slayer says Doce owner
Richard Agudelo wanted a machine that would celebrate two of Colombia’s
most prized natural resources: gold and coffee.
Slayer says the machine, which sold for God-knows-what, was
the last custom job out of its original production studio in the Ranier
Brewery space. In a company announcement released yesterday, Slayer
said, “Today, all manufacturing has been moved to a new and larger
facility, which will allow for increased production and additional
options for customization.”
We promise more on that as it develops. For now, just look at this thing:
The custom tamper with gold plating and padauk wood.
Gold. Much gold.
