The Dual Boiler is a $1,500 coffee pot. Let’s just get that out of the way. It’s the price of a MacBook Pro, a 65-inch OLED TV, 600 cups of drip coffee, or 300 lattes.

Burning spent coffee grounds, it is the fourth boiler RCR Energy has made for Nestle, but with preferred-supplier status more are hopefully on their way. It is good timing.
