Design Challenge: Designing a minimal & modern coffee grinder was a challenge. Balancing form & function, integrating technology, and making it easy to use were obstacles. Historical & social perspective, production possibilities, information availability and technology were factors that were considered.
Research: We compared a lot of traditional and modern competitors products, We identified the style and the way to use the product that was matching with our idea and we translated it in a new product. Limitation from production point of view , made us come back to a more traditional shape and less innovative , considering not all the products can have an unlimited budget , we blanced the needs of production and the design push.
Inspiration: Investigating trends on coffee machines and coffee appliances, we took this simple, minimal and modern outlook style. Technology details such as LED lights or digital displays makes the grinder feel modern and high-tech. Minimal color palette, such as black, white, and silver, gives the grinder a sleek, modern look that comes already by the simple cilindric shape.
Project Duration: Designed in Italy by an international team of designers that worked online. Project was developed for th design phase on a tiem of six months and the final fine tuning of the design took around 1 month, after the engineering of functional details was completed.
Operation Flow: AF007 is an extremely simple and intuitive coffee grinder. The container or the filter holder is placed directly in the fork on the front side. The coffee beans are poured into the upper compartment and then the degree of grinding is selected by rotating the upper graduated cylinder. Finally, the grinding speed is selected from the interface on the product side and the coffee beans are ground and dispensed in powder form directly into the container on the front.
