NTC-temperatuurbeheer hou die water op 92 grade Celsius, wat die aroma van die bone vrystel en crema vorm. MCH-snelverhitting lewer 'n ekstraksie van 40 ml in 25 sekondes. Die silindervormige liggaam meet 73 by 73 by 250 millimeter en kombineer 'n boonste ekstraksiemodule met 'n onderste deursigtige koppie. Beide koffiekapsules en gemaalde koffie kan gebruik word.

Production Technology
The top lid employs water transfer printing to replicate the warm texture and natural grain of real wood, reminiscent of handmade crafts to give a sense of approachability. Below it, the smooth beige ABS housing presents a modern minimalist aesthetic. The button is made from soft silicone in vibrant orange, not only providing a pleasant tactile feel but also creating a striking contrast against the light colored body, thus improving visual layering and adding a dynamic touch.
Design Challenge
The challenge was enabling authentic espresso within a compact body. This product adopts a powerful micropump and a smart pressure compensation system to monitor the real time state of ground coffee and dynamically adjust related parameters like water flow rate, delivering a consistent 20 bar pressure. NTC temperature control technology maintains water at 92 degrees Celsius to unlock the aroma of coffee beans and ensure crema generation for a rich Italian flavor.
Research
As the demand for premium coffee experiences continues to rise, traditional espresso makers remain largely confined to home environments due to their bulky size, reliance on wall outlets, and complex operation. While portable alternatives offer convenience, they often compromise on extraction quality. This compact product integrates professional grade high pressure extraction and rapid heating, enabling users to enjoy barista level espresso whether camping in the wild or traveling on business.
Inspiration
Inspired by Scandinavian aesthetics and modern minimalism, the product takes beige as the main color, supplemented by wood grain accents, merging simplicity with warmth. Its columnar form draws from household objects, allowing it to sit quietly like a piece of furniture and blend naturally into everyday life.
Project Duration
The project started in October 2024 and finished in April 2025. The product successfully entered production and began sales in September 2025.
Operation Flow
The integrated columnar product consists of an upper extraction module and a lower transparent drinking cup, offering a one stop coffee solution from making to savoring while visualizing the extraction process and giving a sense of ritual. Designed with a snap fit connection to the main unit, the cup can be rotated to extend the height by 14 mm, accommodating larger servings.
The product is compatible with both coffee capsules and coffee powder, flexibly catering to personal preferences.
