KEY PIECES
CAFFEINATED CURVES AHEAD
From its stainless steel curved body to its ergonomic angled portafilters for ease of use, this espresso coffee machine is a shining thing of beauty. The Alex Duetto 4 Inox Edition Dual Boiler Pid Domestic ESPRESSO COFFEE MACHINE (R46 455, including delivery), is also available in an Italian walnut wood finish.
Why you’ll love it: It can be connected directly to the water network and drain, or work with a water tank. The water for the brew boiler is fed via a heat exchanger in the steam boiler, allowing for greater temperature
stability and quicker recovery times. Coffee + polished style = obsession!
SEXY BACK
Blending elegant simplicity with pragmatism, this men’s backpack (R19 000) from the HUGO BOSS ELEGANCE line is made of premium leather. It features a front pouch (perfect for small items) and an ergonomically designed handle that makes it easy to swing off your back and carry into smaller spaces like lifts. Great for all your workday requirements. Just remember your morning mantra: keys, wallet, sunnies, cellphone… backpack!
