Fiat to offer built-in espresso maker in new car

Mallory Simon for CNN:

Their new crossover model the Fiat 500L boasts a whole range of accessories, but the one drawing the most attention and perhaps concerns, is their built-in espresso machine. That’s right. Forget your Starbucks runs, or trying to rush out the door to work with your homemade brew. Instead, inside your console you’ll find a “new coffee machine created in collaboration with Lavazza,” considered to be the Starbucks of Italy.

You can’t brew a cup unless the vehicle is stopped, according to Fiat. The espresso maker is a single-cup pod system. Also, Fiat hasn’t committed to bringing the pod system to its cars in the United States, so this novelty will be, to start anyway, just for Italian owners.
