The Design
About Gemini モジュラー式コーヒーポット
Geminiは、ハンドドリップとモカポット抽出を一台に融合したモジュラー式コーヒーポットです。本体にグラインダー機構を組み込むことで、必要な器具の数を減らし、省スペース化を実現しました。挽き目の粗さは蓋を回して調整します。グラインダー部を押し下げると粉の排出口が閉じ、モカポット抽出モードが始まります。グラインダー部の内側にフィルターペーパーをセットすれば、ハンドドリップも可能です。大半の部品はリサイクル可能なプラスチック製で、一部の部品には金属を用いています。

- Unique Properties
- Gemini is a design that integrates hand-brewed coffee and a mocha pot. Users can choose different ways to make coffee according to their personal preferences. In addition, it incorporates a grinding component, allowing users to adjust the coarseness of the coffee grounds.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width100mm×Depth100mm×Height 200mm
- Tags
- Quick replacement, modularization, coffee brewing
- Production Technology
- Most coffee brewers are made of recyclable plastic, and some are made of metal. Barbecue grills are made of degradable mycelium, and grills are made of metal.
- Design Challenge
- Gemini's biggest challenge lies in how to combine hand-brewed coffee and steamed coffee, achieving a quick transition while still maintaining the experience. In addition, we studied the steam structure and grinding components of Mocha to integrate grinding with hand brewing and steaming coffee, reducing the need for tools. The design of the shape is also a major challenge. It is necessary to ensure the overall integrity after assembly and also take into account the aesthetic appeal of each individual unit after disassembly and assembly.
- Research
- We conducted a step-by-step experience and analysis of the production methods of hand-brewed and steamed coffee, and found that the current production methods are rather complicated, with a large number of tools and taking up a lot of space. In addition, we disassembled the principles of the mocha pot and grinding tools, proposed three combined methods and realized the principles through 3D printing, and conducted steaming experiments for the improved methods.
- Inspiration
- Gemini's inspiration comes from the experience of making coffee. There are many tools for making coffee, which take up a lot of space. Therefore, we want to design a coffee pot that combines a grinding component, retaining the experience of both hand-brewed coffee and mocha Pots, allowing users to choose different brewing methods according to their own preferences.
- Project Duration
- The project was launched in Beijing in May 2025 and completed in Beijing in December 2025.
- Operation Flow
- The user can adjust the grinding fineness by rotating the lid, press down the grinding component to block the powder drop port, and enter the brewing mode. When the filter paper is combined with the grinding component, users can make coffee by hand brewing, completing the switch between hand-brewed and steamed coffee.
