About Gemini 모듈형 커피 포트

제미니(Gemini)는 핸드 브루잉과 모카포트 추출을 하나의 기기에 결합한 모듈형 커피 포트입니다. 그라인딩 부품이 본체에 통합되어 있어 별도의 도구가 덜 필요하고 공간도 적게 차지합니다. 커피 분쇄도는 뚜껑을 돌려 조절합니다. 그라인딩 부품을 아래로 누르면 분말 배출구가 닫히면서 모카 추출 모드가 시작됩니다. 그라인딩 부품 안에 필터 종이를 넣으면 핸드 브루잉이 가능합니다. 대부분의 부품은 재활용 가능한 플라스틱으로 제작되었으며, 일부 부품은 금속으로 만들어졌습니다.

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.
