If coffee enthusiasts are seeking out a real jolt with their morning cup of joe, they might want to try putting an Aviatore Veloce Turbojet 100 in their home kitchen or office break room. This aviation-inspired single serve coffee maker can potentially serve as a perfect fit for décor already aligned with industrial design, provided the buyer has a big enough space for it.

First of all, there is the "100" part of its name. This is a strictly limited edition series of the coffee machine, which, in addition to pulling a shot of espresso, looks exactly like a jet engine turbine sitting on the counter when the user is facing it directly. From the profile view, the Alvatore Veloce looks more like the Aeroscraft, a next-generation zeppelin (sort of) aluminium airship that runs on helium.

From any perspective, though, the Aviatore Veloce from the Superveloce company holds true to the aircraft that inspired its design by relying on aircraft-grade aluminium. In fact, all Superveloce products do: the company specializes in coffee machines based on engine designs.

The manufacturer of this Turbojet 100, which can take tea leaves or single-serve coffee grounds, offers a detailed materials spec sheet so customers can see the composition for themselves: aviation grade 6061 T6, 2000 Series aluminium alloy, stainless steel 316 Ti, 304 and aluminium bronze.

The Aviatore Veloce Turbojet 100 weighs in at 27.7 kilos, making it a good idea to make sure you have the counter space or a nook table that accommodates the size and is sturdy enough to support a machine that weighs the equivalent of a small child. Dimensions on the Turbojet 100 run at 78cm long, 32 mm wide, and 455 mm high.

No one needs to explain why they care about their coffee, but it would be fair to ask why this coffee machine looks like it takes its "high pressure" brewing seriously. The reason has to do with an Italian industrial designer and mechanical engineer named Paolo Mastrogiuseppe, who thinks of his craft in terms of art.

Mastrogiuseppe creates "beautiful yet functional mechanical art devices," the company explains. "With his unique machine designs and avant-garde attitude, his dream is to create unique collectible masterpieces to be passed on from generation to generation." In this case, the artist is inspired by the lines of engines in high-performance vehicles, including Formula One race cars as well as jet airplanes.

The Superveloce line is designed for an exclusive clientele, who are encouraged to contact the company for a quote if they are interested in ordering one of the handcrafted machines. The only clue to the cost is offered in a companion set of four fashionable titanium espresso mugs, and the accessories cost €345. A set of 10 shot glasses in different colors, along with an alloy tray, are €495, and a drip tray runs €100.

The coffee machine design is influence by a military jet engine, but it won't be blowing back a person's hair in the middle of a coffee break. In every other respect, it works much like any other espresso machine and delivers the beverage at the metal base on the opposite end of the turbine.

There's one thing the Superveloce company can't answer about its product, and that's how the coffee tastes. That is presumably up to the client and their choice of coffee or tea. What Mastrogiuseppe really cares about, and what the Aviatore Veloce Turbojet 100 demonstrates, is material excellence and aesthetics – both of which are characteristics that true coffee aficionados are likely to say they care about too.
