My new Nespresso machine. I love it. I absolutely love it. I got it for Christmas and it's the best thing I've ever owned. I always loved proper coffee, but it was always a pain in the arse to make it at home.

This thing means that a child could make coffee. Put the coffee capsule into the machine, press a button... boom. 30 seconds later you have a hot cup of superb coffee ready to drink. It also works out at roughly 30c per cup of coffee; this is compared to giving coffee shops up to a fiver for the same damn thing.

It doesn't need (much) cleaning, it's compact, it's brilliant. I don't know how I lived without it!

(and no, I'm not getting commission from Nestlé)
