Newton Brua 3 Max - In Stock

We were smitten and enamoured the moment we laid eyes on the Brua 2 years ago. We were fortunate enough to connect with Hayden from Newton and found a mutual connection with our shared passion for not only coffee, but for our love of entrepreneurship and the drive of our respective businesses. It was a no brainier to work with Newton and to offer his incredible products here. We can only hope to do it justice.

Simplicity, style and grace are only a few of the words that describe the Newton Brua. 

Driven by the quest to create the most aesthetic and sustainable manual espresso maker for the global market, the idea was simple - to design and craft using local production, a minimalist espresso machine for the home or studio that consistently produces barista-quality espresso.

Meet the team behind Newton.

Hayden Maunsell

Beginning his working life as a refrigeration engineer, Hayden quickly discovered a passion for product design.

While studying towards a Master of Art & Design, Hayden worked with (now business partner) Alan as a workshop technician at the local design school. It's here, in 2015, that the first espresso maker was made.

Hayden has also worked as an Industrial Designer for two large manufacturing companies in Hawke’s Bay until recently when he decided to move to Newton Espresso full-time.

Alan Neilson

Alan started his career as a toolmaker. He honed his engineering skills making and designing mechanical products (bicycles and lawnmowers) for a large manufacturing company in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand.

After settling down with a family, Alan shifted his focus from engineering to a handcraft movement by accepting a Head Technician role for the local Art & Design school - a role he held for 30 years.

Alan’s technical engineering experience pairs beautifully with his skills as a genuine craftsman making the Newton products a real work of art.
