Brief
The coffee and espresso experience at home is often broken, incomplete, and difficult to use. The goal is design to design a new product that brings the full coffee experience into the home in a simple way.
Understanding coffee and espresso
Espresso is a brewing method in which coffee is first finely ground to generate more surface area for better extraction. The coffee is then brewed under pressure, producing coffee that has a bolder flavor and more concentrated than traditional drip coffee.
