At $385, I think from our friends down-under. It strikes me as a Bialetti on steroids.

Has video on how it works. I think I read that it runs on about 4 bars.

I think I want one for the novelty, but can it really make good espresso? I'm thinking it might be better suited for coffee beverages rather than a straight shot.
It seems extraction would be prolonged with an extended pre-infusion stage as the steam/hot water makes its way through the grounds.
Next question - If the water in the boiler is just enough for two perfect cups of coffee, where does the steam come from?
Nah, I don't want one.

That's enough steel for the water to cool from steam to 200F by the time it hits the grinds. Might make something similar to espresso.
However, $400 is getting close enough to a Silvia which can be fitted with a PID to make good espresso every shot...
Pretty alone doesn't cut it, IMO.
