| DESIGN NAME: Iberital Vision PRIMARY FUNCTION: Professional Espresso Coffee Machine INSPIRATION: Iberital VISION is a professional espresso coffee machine that has been designed following three principles -healthiness, energy efficiency and connectivity- to be a class leader. It is aimed to be used at coffee shops, restaurants, cafeterias, hotels to brew premium espresso coffee, all kind of tea and herb infusions, and use steam for latte art. It is the result of teamwork by the design team and the engineering team, and its development has been partially funded by Horizon 2020 SME Instrument program by EU agency for SMEs, EASME. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Iberital Vision achieves its goals (healthy, sustainable and connected) thanks to a new design of the hydraulic circuits, electronic controls, sensors and actuators, use of new materials and state-of-the-art human-machine interface. At the same time, Iberital Vision achieves the best features for a professional espresso coffee machine: - Multiboiler design for coffee with independent programmable group temperature, brewing temperature stability and repeatability, and stepper motor gear pump for flow and pressure profiling during brewing - A new tea water system that uses fresh water and in which the user can select a desired temperature and volume. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The suppression of visible screens turns it into an analog-shaped machine, but further away, each coffee brewing group has a screen hidden behind the panel that informs us at all times of the actions that are being carried out. The coffee machine is also linked to a tablet that allows the user to make all kinds of complex configurations through an infographic App that has been carefully designed. This innovative and pioneering system of machine configuration through the tablet, also allows us to connect remotely to know the state, share recipes in a new social network, control the management of orders, etc. In short, it opens up a new world of possibilities not explored so far in this sector. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in 2014 in Barcelona, and finished in 2017. It was exhibited in Host Milano in October 2017. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Food, Beverage and Culinary Arts Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Iberital Vision achieves its goals (healthy, sustainable and connected) thanks to a new design of the hydraulic circuits, electronic controls, sensors and actuators, use of new materials and state-of-the-art human-machine interface: - Healthy: the hydraulic circuits for coffee, hot water for infusions and steam have been redesigned with new lead and nickel free materials that are safe for food applications. Also, the circuits have been separated and water stagnation is avoided. Thus, coffee, tea and other infusions always use fresh water. - Energy efficient: power consumption has been reduced up to 50% by: (a) reducing energy loss by isolating boilers and tubes, (b) reducing heating needs by optimizing boiler sizes and heating elements, (c) the use of smart algorithms with predictive heating, and energy saving modes in low-work hours. - Connected: the machine has a custom communication module that can connect either via wifi, or via 2G mobile network, to an IoT server platform that collects data from the machine, and that can send settings and orders to it. Vision has also a tablet with an App for monitoring and performing settings, that is also connected to the world of social networks. At the same time, Iberital Vision achieves the best features for a professional espresso coffee machine: - Multiboiler design for coffee with independent programmable group temperature, brewing temperature stability and repeatability, and stepper motor gear pump for flow and pressure profiling during brewing - A new tea water system that uses fresh water and in which the user can select a desired temperature and volume. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: There are three versions: 2-group, 3-group and 1-group 2-group: 840 x 600 x 400 3-group: 1050 x 600 x 400 1-group: 515 x 600 x 400 TAGS: ESPRESSO, COFFEE, SPECIALTY, TEA RESEARCH ABSTRACT: This machine is the result of a long project that started with a Design Thinking process that we handled with customers and end users. The starting point was that we wanted a coffee machine that would brew healthy coffee, that is, free of heavy metals; that would be energy efficient; and that would be connected. This project was proposed to the Horizon 2020 SME Instrument programme by EASME, the EU agency for SMEs, and the proposal was awarded with a grant that covered 70% of the budget. CHALLENGE: Iberital VISION is a professional espresso coffee machine designed to withstand the passing of time, we could define it as a timeless machine. We have simplified its design to the minimum expression in order to focus the user's attention on the functional elements, thus achieving an intuitive and gestural machine (the actions are controlled with levers instead of buttons facilitating the activation of the machine reducing the precision required to the user). The machine is available in 3 different configurations and customization is very easy, so that with simple plates you can panel it in a way that is a perfect complement to any space. The Chief Designer describes from the aesthetic point of view: brutalist architecture, synthetic and rational, very rational. Three adjectives that describe the machine: Shocking, forceful and radical. How is the "machine of the future" designed? Studying the past very well and knowing the present perfectly. How does your design come together with Iberital's sustainability and innovation values? These values are the dna of the interior machinery for what is inherent in the machine itself. With the design we have transmitted it with the absence of stridency or purely aesthetic frivolities that do not add value.
