German electronic company Loewe (not to be confused with the whimsical fashion house led by Jonathan Anderson) is moving into the high-end homeware market with the launch of its aura.pure coffee machine, a state-of-the-art, wood-accented espresso maker that was designed and engineered in the brand's hometown of Kronach.
Built with pre-infusion for an enhanced brewing experience, the espresso machine includes advanced programming that allows the user to set the soak time of the coffee powder before espresso extraction, so the coffee flavor can be as strong or as light as desired. An integrated stainless steel conical burr grinder, meanwhile, has 66 different grinding levels to meet the user's needs, across fine grind for espresso and coarse grind for filters.
Three thermoblocks allow the device to heat quickly (typically in under two minutes) with strong temperature control, and an independent thermoblock manages milk frothing through a no-burn steam wand, as well as espresso extraction. Notably, the espresso machine arrives with several accessories, including a portafilter and tamper, both with real wooden accents that match the device's facade.
Loewe's aura.pure coffee machine is now available to shop on the brand's webstore and in select retailers for £1,925 GBP. Take a look at the sleek design in the gallery above.
