Have you ever seen the shell of an espresso machine made of concrete?

According to foreign media reports, a California designer recently launched a new espresso machine called "AnZa", which he positioned as a kitchen sculpture. The equipment can be combined with modern home decoration and black warehouse style apartments. The AnZa coffee machine was made by design studio Montaag and the espresso machine repair shop, which eventually designed products made of everyday materials in an atypical way.

The main material used to make the outer shell of the AnZa coffee machine is gray concrete. Other materials include artificial marble Corian, wood, glass, brass and steel. The coffee maker design team explained that AnZa was the result of "enthusiasm and boredom with delicious coffee". The team also made two versions of the machine, one of which uses Corian instead of concrete as the main material.

The team plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter next year, but the price of the product has not yet been disclosed.

This is not the first time we have seen an espresso machine made of concrete. In 2010, Israeli designer Shmuel Linski designed a concept coffee machine called "Espresso Solo" with a shell made of concrete.
