Tortillas, ready in less than a minute

Why make things easy when they can be even easier? Making tortillas is hardly more than combining water and flour. And yet it can be easier. With the ‘Flatev’, you can make tortillas within a minute, using a dough capsule.

It resembles making coffee, and is just as quick. The appliance contains a small oven, a warming drawer and a compartment where you put the cup. You set how crispy you want the tortilla to be, and whether you use corn or grain dough.

In less than sixty seconds, you have a perfectly round tortilla. Making several in a row? The drawer at the bottom keeps them warm. And besides savory types of dough, including plain and chili, sweet options have also been considered. So you can also prepare pancakes for dessert in it.

And for such an ingenious appliance, essentially a symbol of laziness, a slick promotional video is indispensable.

You can buy the Flatev machine for 437 dollars. Or you can buy a bag of flour, turn on the tap and try your hand at kneading dough.
