This is an old post showing how Bengle came to be. You can find everything about it here.

Decent customer "EspressoSquirrel" continues to fire amazing design ideas at us.

Here is what he wrote about this set, that he sent at us:

"I was thinking about cross pollination of design elements from other products into espresso machines rather than thinking of other machines. I started looking at motorbikes and then particularly 'cafe racers' ironically. So here's a cafe racer inspired design, kind of rough around the edges, the lines and curves are not great, but maybe of interest."

I love he turned the "ugly" back panel into a design feature with a partially translucent back panel. So cool!
