About Titanium Inneal Cofaidh
'S e inneal cofaidh leth-fhèin-obrachail beag a th' ann an Titanium a chaidh a dhèanamh airson cidsinean le rùm-cunntair cuibhrichte. Tha am bodhaig cruinn air a mholldadh le stealladh agus air a pheantadh ann an cian le sùghadh ìosal, agus air a mhaiseachadh le stàilinn neo-mheirgeach bruisichte. Tha raon taisbeanaidh trìd-shoilleir agus buaidhean solais a' sealltainn inbhe an inneil gu soilleir. Bidh solais chomharraidh co-thaobhadh a' phortafilter a' stiùireadh suidheachadh ceart. Tha an sgrion fhrasach agus am basgaid sìolachaidh air an dèanamh de thitanium fhìor-ghlan, a tha an aghaidh bhacteria agus a sheasas ri meirgeadh. Tha aonad bleith a ghabhas toirt air falbh a' dèanamh glanadh agus cumail suas nas fhasa.

- Production Technology
- The body is injection molded, polished, and spray painted for a smooth texture and an elegant cyan color. Drip tray and group head are made of brushed and polished stainless steel for a professional look. Key parts including shower screen and filter basket are made of pure titanium, which is antibacterial and corrosion resistant, ensuring safety. The top transparent bean hopper and removable grinding unit show coffee bean status, preventing clogging and facilitating cleaning and maintenance.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was to maintain the core performance of professional coffee machines while reducing overall size. The design team addressed this by reorganizing the internal structure with a modular layout to ensure stable extraction pressure within a compact form. The removable grinding unit successfully balances ease of disassembly with consistent grinding performance, allowing the small coffee machine to deliver professional level performance comparable to larger machines.
- Research
- Research shows the demand for professional grade coffee is steadily rising, yet urban kitchens often lack sufficient counter space for traditional large coffee machines. This product balances space efficiency and professional performance. With removable components and a compact layout, it preserves core features like professional extraction pressure while reducing its size, bringing professional coffee making into a compact space and delivering a premium coffee making experience.
- Inspiration
- The exterior draws on the mechanical aesthetics of classic Italian espresso machines with a distinct pressure gauge while integrating modern home aesthetics through a rounded body and a silver track, perfectly balancing vintage charm with contemporary technological appeal. An elegant low saturation cyan body accented with brushed stainless steel reinforces both professional quality and modern style.
- Project Duration
- The project was initiated in April 2025 in Jinhua, Zhejiang. The design is expected to be completed by April 2026, with its first public presentation scheduled at the CARL MERTENS Distributor Conference. Full production will then begin in June 2026 in Jiangmen, Guangdong.
- Operation Flow
- The transparent display zone and lighting effects make information and machine status immediately clear. Portafilter alignment indicator lights guide precise placement, simplifying operation. Dual wide angled, ergonomically tilted, antislip detent side levers improve extraction pressure control while the short throw steam lever reduces the risk of scalding. The removable portafilter base supports based and baseless use, while the drip tray with vortex pattern shows the place for cups.
