    A built in / integrated coffee machine would be my choice.

    Everybody always said "wow" at my induction hob. It looks great (and is usable work top when not cooking as its completely flat, and very soon after cooking seeing as it never gets that hot - a boon in a small kitchen), and cooks fast - stuff is brought to the boil way faster than other electric hobs (ceramic, halogen, etc) and even gas hobs.

    how big is the kitchen? We're doing ours in a couple of months & decided to go with a wall of units with a 2x2 collection of ovens/warming drawers/microwave

    Just make sure it looks nice, that would be wow enough. Have you considered the floor? A nice floor helps make the kitchen. Nice upstands, or decorative tiles. If there is room, a decent quality table (much cheaper than oh so trendy islands).

    Gotta be one of these: http://www.lacanche.co.uk/products/vezelay/

    Nothing else would give a wow like that would...
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    :T At a mere £12,000, it is a no brainer ... What kind of people buy such a cooker? Are we talking Russian billionaires, Richard Branson, that kind of person?
