About Smell the Flower تجهیزات اندازه‌گیری قهوه

بو کردن گل مجموعه‌ای از تجهیزات اندازه‌گیری برای قهوه دمی است که از یک ترازو و یک دماسنج تشکیل شده است. ترازو الهام‌گرفته از چیدمان گل است. وزنه‌هایی به شکل برگ و میوه بر روی یک شاخه قرار می‌گیرند، به‌گونه‌ای که وزن کردن دانه‌های قهوه شبیه به چیدن گل می‌شود. دماسنج به شکل یک گل است و هنگام اندازه‌گیری آب داغ، گلبرگ‌ها می‌چرخند و باز می‌شوند، به‌طوری‌که هر گلبرگ نشان‌دهنده ده درجه است. در این مجموعه از سرامیک، مس، آلومینیوم و اکریلیک استفاده شده است. این طراحی به فرآیند آماده‌سازی قهوه دمی حالتی آرام و آیینی می‌بخشد.

Production Technology
In "Decoration of Weight", the body part is made of ceramic material with the hand-worn process, red copper with spin forgin are used to make the weighing pan, and the mechanism is made of springs.The weight flower is handmade.
In "The Aroma of Temperature", a ready-made analog thermometer mechanism is used, with a laser-cut aluminum sheet and an acrylic sheet pressed by a mold.
Design Challenge
In terms of concept, it is a challenge to choose which part in the pour over coffee should be transformed, what way of expression it is transformed into, whether the operator and the viewer can have aesthetic feelings at the same time, and so on.
The difficulty of implementation is to improve the accuracy of the mechanism. Calibrating the the scale, fine-tuning the rotation angle of the petals corresponded with temperature, etc., are challenges that have been overcome after many attempts.
Research
First of all, I use a case study to do research on tea ceremony, and read other papers that study "the sense of ritual" from the perspectives of art, performance, and life. Then, with the meaning of pour over coffee to me, I started to create this work.
This work provides a new perspective for the vast pour over coffee community to explore the possibility of the development of pour over coffee, which has been developed to the extreme in technique, towards artistic appreciation in the future.
Inspiration
Inspiring by Japanese tea ceremony and flower arrangement, people feel strong sense of ritual when they either participate in it or see it. In the process of tea ceremony and flower arrangement, people can refresh their spirit and cultivate their mind.
Pour over coffee is also an activity with sense of ritual. It act as a soft reset, offer us a chance to collect ourselves and take a breath.
Project Duration
The project started in November 2019 in Taiwan Taipei and finished in August 2020 in Taiwan Taipei.
Operation Flow
After deciding the weight, insert the weight-leaves(1g) and fruits(2g) on the branch, and placed in the copper pan of the light-colored bottle. Then put the coffee beans into the copper pan of another dark bottle, and the weighing is completed when the height of the two pans is the same.

Insert the thermometer into the hot water, and the petals will slowly spin to open like blossom. Each petal represents 10 degrees, and the temperature can be known by watching the degree of rotation.
