If, like us, you're addicted to coffee, contemporary design and bright colours, you'll love Pixie - the latest design from the people at 5.5 Designers, made for coffee company Nespresso. The Nespresso machine promises to live up to its fairy-inspired name by being fast, clever and compact. Pixie capsules sport a choice of vibrant colours, each with an individual taste. Plus, the capsule dispensers can be free standing or wall hung - we think an electric red, indigo or lime shade would be a super stylish addition to a modern home office.
Besides its lust worthy design, the machine itself boasts a myriad of nifty features - it reaches optimum temperature in less than half a minute, alerts you when the water level is getting low, and sports an adaptable cup holder which allows you to go from an espresso enthusiast to cappuccino crazy in a matter of seconds. The only thing this machine doesn't seem to do is carry the brew to your bed when you wake up in the morning.
Coffee lovers - you can now pick up the Pixie in Nespresso Boutiques in Brown Thomas, Dublin and Cork for an affordable €149.
