About Lavazza Inovy Mini Meaisín Caife

Tá Inovy Mini mar chuid de raon nua meaisíní espresso atá forbartha ag Lavazza go háirithe don earnáil ghairmiúil. Is é an ceann is lú de na meaisíní seo agus tá sé beartaithe go príomha le haghaidh oifigí beaga agus seomraí óstáin. Is forbairt é an dearadh ar theanga fhoirme Lavazza sa chainéal gnó seo. Tá scéim dathanna níos tromchúisí, gairmiúla aige ach tá sé fós inaitheanta Iodálach maidir le cur i gcrích agus críochnú. I roinnt margaí tugtar Classy Mini ar an táirge freisin agus is leagan speisialta é Elogy Mini le húsáid sa bhaile.

Design Challenge
The project was developed in a short time frame and it was important to stay true to the established form language of bigger machines in the same business channel.
Research
Development process through conceptual and formal research, 3D modelling, physical mock-ups, prototyping.
Inspiration
Modern design and ultra-small dimensions for a machine suitable for small offices and hotel rooms. The design is inspired by professional Italian coffee equipment. It is an evolution of the Lavazza form language in this segment. It is characterised by precisely formed exterior shells with embossed Lavazza logos on the sides. The simple user interface is placed prominently in a circular element at the front and main touchpoints are emphasised by metal accents.
Project Duration
The project was designed in Turin, Italy. The complete product development from initial concept to product launch took about 18 months.
Operation Flow
Inovy Mini is a capsule coffee machine. Simply lift the lever, insert the capsule on top, place your cup on the grid and make espresso. The UI has two backlit buttons for two separate selections. One for Espresso and another one for Lungo. The machine start-up time is 28 seconds. The removable drip tray allows for taller cups and the metal grid has a rather geometric, concentric pattern in line with the other products in the Lavazza office range. The easily accessible water tank in the back holds 0,7 litres and is transparent, so you will always know when it is time to refill. All removable parts are dishwasher safe.
