Two rituals, side by side, at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hourglass is a collaboration between POLSPOTTEN, the Amsterdam design house known for bold colour, and La Marzocco. It was created specifically for the ritual of making espresso: handcrafted, with a run time of exactly 30 seconds, in a strong colour that sets its own accent next to any machine. Functionally it's no more precise than a digital timer – but it's incomparably nicer to look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaiting is rarely described as pleasurable, yet the anticipation of an event is its own part of the experience: the body responds to what's coming before the first sip ever arrives. An hourglass makes this brief wait visible instead of hiding it – a small, conscious pause in the middle of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNobody needs an hourglass to know when the espresso is ready – a glance at the clock works just as well. Whoever wants one anyway simply likes the small ceremony it creates. That's a question of ritual, not necessity, and our opinion on it is one of many.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eGlass, handcrafted\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eRun time\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003e30 seconds\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eØ 4 × H 8.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eColours\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003eBlue, yellow, red, white (sold individually)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth\u003eDesign\u003c\/th\u003e\u003ctd\u003ePOLSPOTTEN x La Marzocco\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's made for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who likes to experience the espresso moment with all their senses – whether as a small ritual next to your own machine or as a gift for someone who makes coffee with an eye for detail.
