COFFEE ON CALL

The latest Nespresso machine is all set to take your brew experience to the next level.

HW SPECIAL

Imagine a coffee machine that has your life-saving brew ready rst thing in the morning when you roll out of bed, alerts you when it needs refuelling, and even tells you when something isn’t working quite right so that you can get it repaired quickly. Nope, this isn’t some distant-future reality.

Nespresso’s latest invention, the Prodigio, is the brand’s rst-ever smartphone-connected coffee maker, and is designed to do all of the above, plus more, with just a few swipes of your smartphone. The future is now.

How it works is super simple too: Just download the Nespresso mobile app and let it link up with the Prodigio using Bluetooth technology. From there, a full suite of services that vastly simplies the user experience is right at your ngertips. This means you can enjoy top-quality coffee (only 1-2 per cent of the world’s coffee, sourced from the best coffee-growing regions, meets Nespresso’s quality requirements) without leaving your couch. Its understated yet oh-so-chic design makes it t seamlessly into any kitchen too; the machine is available in a sleek Silver and a darker, sophisticated Titan. Opt for the Prodigio&milk machine – which is integrated with an Aeroccino3 milk frother – if you like milkbased coffees. Otherwise, the standard model works just as well with its ristretto-, espresso- and lungo-making options. All we’re missing now is a coffee machine that actually delivers your drink right to where you’re seated…
