moodboard/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Would you pay $18,000 to enjoy the perfect cup of coffee? Then the Royal Coffee Maker has your fix.
The $18,000 precision machine was handcrafted by sculptor Jean-Luc Rieutort.
The device is modeled after the siphon coffee makers used by 19th-century kings, according to its website, which notes, it, “effortlessly transforms some of the finest coffee strains in the world with an unmistakable purity and clarity of taste.”
