Earlier today, Steph told you how to get the perfect cup of coffee. The natural follow-up question is, how to make it?

I may not have the answer to that, but I do have a line-up of fantastic looking coffee maker... Concepts, I guess? Anyway, one is above, the even crazier looking rest are below:

Right now, I'm out on the West Coast for NerdFest '08 (aka San Diego Comic Con). I'm only one day in, but already going on about three hours of sleep in the past forty eight hours. Which is why I wish I had one of these:

Travel Coffee Pot. Yum. Need now.

Concepts We Wish Would Succeed: Presovar by Martin Necas

I know I'm a little too enamored with coffee makers. After all, coffee is the thing that keeps these amazing blog posts coming all day long. But bear with me, because this concept by Martin Necas is absolutely fantastic. And, there's three specific reasons why:

1. It has a space to hold and warm cups.

2. It has a drawer that holds, and grinds beans.

3. It has a space to store milk, again, slightly warmed.

...And you guys know how much I like things with little compartments. It's just a concept right now, but the second this becomes available, I'm snagging one.
