The Linje Wooden Espresso Machine by Norwegian designer Oystein Heel Husby has a beautiful organic form that I have never seen in a kitchen appliance before. But it does raise the question, is it too pretty to use? 

It’s definitely pretty and doesn’t seem to complicated to operate. What do you think?
