About Lavazza Inovy Mini Aparat Za Kavu

Inovy Mini dio je nove serije espresso aparata koje je Lavazza razvila posebno za profesionalni segment. To je najmanji od ovih strojeva i uglavnom je namijenjen malim uredima i hotelskim sobama. Dizajn je evolucija Lavazzinog jezika oblika u ovom poslovnom kanalu. Ima ozbiljniju, profesionalnu shemu boja, ali je još uvijek prepoznatljivo talijanska u izvedbi i završnici. Na nekim tržištima proizvod je poznat i kao Classy Mini, a Elogy Mini je posebna verzija za kućnu upotrebu.

Tags: Lavazza, Coffee, Espresso, Single-serve, Office, Hotel, Home
Production Technology: main shell: plastic (ABS), finishing textured/glossy
water tank: plastic (SAN)
drip grid, lever: metal
feet: silicone rubber
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.
