As a coffee freak my first impression is "shut up and take my money". However if I compare it to my current setup I lack steaming wand and a clarity on what to do with those cables that stick from the pump unit. I'd love to see a three legged design that hides the water + power cables or even a small water tank.



I think a way to have the wire and water pipe discreetly guided off to one side rather than dongling about in free space might help the look.

A little stainless steel clip the you can put on either side, perhaps. Or have two, in case your water and power don't come from the same direction?

My biggest concern about the longevity of the device as a beautiful item is that if the countertop gets water (or worse, coffee) spilled on it, the wood will wick it up the end grain and stain or swell.
