So Many Tools, One Small Cup
Pour-over coffee uses many tools and careful steps. Making one cup can take more time and effort than you expect.
How might we design a luxury pour-over coffee experience in one device?
Inspired by the circular motion of grinding and pouring, I landed on a form that reflects movement and function with cylindrical rotation, visualizing the spirit of pour-over.
Visualizing Pour-Over
Exploring Engaging User Interaction
I explored different forms to make the user interaction more engaging, focusing on sliding, rotating, and leveling motions.
All the Steps, In One Device.
Add Beans
Grind
Rotate
Pour
I refined the design by using geometry as solution to improve form, balance, and functionality.
