Sure it's a little silly, but auto design powerhouses Lamborghini, BMW, Bugatti and Ferrari have all produced their own designs for espresso machines.
Wait! Before you click that link above to see the shots large (and attributed), we've blacked out labels in the photos below, in order to see: Can you guess, based on the aesthetic decisions, which coffeemakers came from which brands? (By the by, there are four brands but five coffeemakers, as one firm cranked out two of the designs you see here.)
Hit the jump to see if you were right.
Clockwise from top left: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, BMW, and BMW again.

I would have thought the bottom left was Bugatti for sure! The actual Bugatti one looked like a Spyker derived concept to me.
really Ferrari? a helmet? sheesh! would have thought the bottem left one to be Fiat. and im guessing the bottom right one is actually Mini (part of BMW).
Are you sure all those espresso were designed by the respective automakers?
I don't think Tonino Lamborghini has any relation with the car company...or maybe a brother. But for sure the design was not done by the automaker. And the same comment goes to Casa bugatti...no relation with the car company.
I was also really doubting about the ferrari's one so i have checked over internet and actually it's just a student work with also no relation with Ferrari and Nespresso.
The ugly one threw me off. In hindsight no surprise as ferrarri makes lots of chinzy brand name items, and no doubt they will sell plenty of these. But by god is that fugly. Is that supposed to be a helmet? Argghhhhhh.
BMW ones were easy to spot ;)
