RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The Design Brief was concluded based on research done with users of ages 18 to 55.
The circular water flow was designed after experimenting with 3d printed prototypes with different angles and sizes to achieve the angular water flow.
The Size of filter cone, coffee mug and capacity of the water reservoir are done with international standards.
The tearable coffee cones material (unbleached paper) and packaging were researched and designed.
CHALLENGE: Our challenge is to design a compact desktop coffee maker. Our primary target users are freelancers / work from home people , to prepare a quality cup of coffee on their desk with less brewing process involved.
Pour over coffee has been embraced for the best quality of coffee because of its special techniques used in extracting the richest flavours from the coffee grounds.
What sets pour over apart is that it is made by hand-pouring the water over the coffee in a circular motion and the amount of water and interval given for the extraction of coffee depending on the the type of coffee grounds used, unlike drip coffee method.
