The Fanciest Coffee Maker We Have Ever Seen

Just how much would you spend on a coffee maker elegantly built into any countertop or tabletop, controlled by your smartphone, that has the ability to make 7 made-to-order coffee drinks in 15 seconds, AND serves cold water, instant hot, tea water, and carbonated water? $11,000 perhaps? Behold the Top Brewer Coffeemaker.

If you had an unlimited budget for a kitchen remodel would you spring for the ability to order your latte from your bed and have it waiting for you?

While we can’t offer you top of the line coffee makers and brass chandeliers, we do have some beautiful new brass and gold hardware options from Atlas Harware as well as some NuMetal Laminates and Mirroflex Sheets/Backsplash Tiles/Ceiling Tiles from Advanced Technology.
