Fancy having your morning cup served up by a giant plastic doughnut? Look no further than the Dolce Gusto Eclipse: a monolith built from creativity, sophistication and some parts that are significantly easier to shift around than others.

While the quality of its coffee pods will please your tastebuds to varying degrees, I do have a soft spot for the ‘chococino’ option. Plus – and I think this bears repeating – you get to serve up these drinks from inside a massive doughnut. Perhaps it’s best to think of the Eclipse as less of a coffee maker and more of a conversation starter: “I’ll give you 20 questions to guess what the hell this thing is.” £130 / dolce-gusto.co.uk
