I was a little confused by this coffee maker’s name but it turns out Urn does indeed apply to any similarly shaped vessel. Phew. Alas, doesn’t hold ashes of the dead… it celebrates the life of coffee! I dig its masculine yet refined look with black hammered aluminum at the base and raw wood coping around the plate. That same base allows the main unit to be wireless, so it’s easy to take anywhere. It also pairs with your smartphone and a dedicated app that you can operate remotely and even remembers your preferences. Designer: Akshay Khandelwal
