Why be suspicious about it? Anyone can see that these are obviously computer derived vector graphics and is, therefore, a virtual design. As to your one semi-valid question... "...does this machine actually exist?" ... what do you think? With tiny bean hoppers getting baked all to rat shit by the Fukushima levels of heat coming off the machine, with very short steam wands situated behind the steam taps what do do you honestly think? Seriously!Originally posted by blend52 View PostHmmm ? looks suspiciously like a set of CGI images !
does this machine actually exist ? ..or is it just a "virtual " design ?
To me it comes across as a cute but still meaningless graphic arts or design project where someone tried to marry together two of Italy's most revered icons... caffe and Rome's ColliseumLast edited by Vinitasse; 1 September 2013, 07:42 PM.

Yes- very clearly vector graphics.
Ambient plan to exhibit a prototype at HOST in October. Having seen the attention to detail in the design of some of the other designs they are planning, I have little doubt that they will have considered heat. As always, more detail when I get the ok to release it.

Prototype..or mock up ?Originally posted by Talk_Coffee View PostYes- very clearly vector graphics.

This type of machine would presumably be a custom build, commissioned for a specific customer.
Few outlets would be able to install and utilize such a beast ad hock !

In a custom built in the round workspace, it would be sure be a crowd puller.

Hey Chris... no offense meant by my comments. Was simply exasperated by the usual "stupid is as stupid does" (to quote Forrest Gump) line of questioning. I, for one, can clearly see that this is a design in progress and do look forward to seeing the end result.Originally posted by Talk_Coffee View PostYes- very clearly vector graphics.

I too am very curious to see what will become of these renderings. I plan to take plenty of happy snaps while I'm over there and will post up whenever I can.

??..Since when did asking "does this machine actually exist ?" ..become a stupid question ?Originally posted by Vinitasse View Post... Was simply exasperated by the usual "stupid is as stupid does" (to quote Forrest Gump) line of questioning.
My question stems from the endless stream of CGI visualized "3D ideas" ( not necessarily coffee kit) such as those frequently seen on "kickstarter", dreamed up by keyboard jockeys who have no comprehension of how to actually produce a hardware product let alone the commercial reality of market acceptance.
I will be intrigued to see if this actually ever becomes a finished product.

Just to enlighten a touch here, the keyboard jockey is none other than the guy that dreamed up the Izzo portfolio of machines. He was also their export manager- now doing his own thing.
I'd reckon his comprehension of hardware product and commercial reality is actually better than many here.
Without even thinking too much about this, I reckon the Asian market would go nuts for it.Last edited by TC; 3 September 2013, 08:32 AM.
