Unique Properties

The wide range of recipes available at the touch of a finger is an important feature in the single serve market.

With True Capp, it is also possible to prepare a cappuccino or latte macchiato directly in the ceramic cup. Another important aspect is the possibility to brew two coffees simultaneously with the special spout. Elogy Barista offers authentic Italian coffee culture.

Design Challenge

Elogy Barista is replacing a successful product with a new and dynamic design and a tight development process. New features and special attention to environmental impact and energy consumption were important. Repairability and the possibility of regenerating the product were also very important aspects.

Research

Development process through conceptual and formal research, 3D modelling, physical mock-ups, prototyping.

Inspiration

The design builds on Lavazza's established form language and provides a vision for the future. Designed with love in Italy Elogy Barista celebrates its Mediterranean identity with attention to detail, colour and finishes. All of which were carefully chosen to reflect the professional soul of the appliance. Surfaces and volumes are precisely controlled with a strong and stable main body. The wrap around shell is characterised by dynamic lines and Lavazza logos on the sides.

Project Duration

The project was designed in Turin, Italy. The complete product development from initial concept to final product took about two and a half years.

Operation Flow

The machine is easy to use and comes with a patented milk frothing system and a dedicated milk jug. The cup rest has a stainless steel grid and can be adjusted easily, placing small cups closer to the spout. This reduces splashes and benefits coffee temperature and crema. The water tank is easily accessible and is treated as a separate, transparent volume. The touch sensitive user interface guarantees a smooth user experience.
