About Yansen Koffiemachine

Yansen is een koffiemachine die koffie maalt en zet in een compacte vorm. De verticaal gestapelde modulaire behuizing omvat het volledige proces van malen tot extractie binnen een klein oppervlak. De bovenste module draait 90 graden om de machine gereed te maken voor het zetten en draait terug voor opslag. Een touchscreen op het bovenvlak zorgt voor de bediening, en de roestvrijstalen kegelmolen biedt vijf maalgraden. De machine warmt in 3 seconden voor en zet één espressoshot in 30 seconden. De metalen behuizing is grotendeels gemaakt van gerecyclede materialen.

The coffee machine uses environmentally friendly materials including recycled aluminum, rABS, rPET, and rPP, making it 80 percent recyclable.
Design Challenge
The key challenge was to balance ease of use with coffee quality. To this end, the product features a rotating dual module design that ditches the bulk of traditional all in one coffee machines. It preheats in 3s and brews an espresso shot in 30s for greater convenience and efficiency. With professional technologies such as 20 bar high pressure extraction, low pressure preinfusion, and pulse cold brewing, it allows even beginners to easily enjoy consistently rich, exceptional coffee with ease.
Research
As urban life accelerates and living spaces shrink, traditional all in one coffee machines, with their bulky, complex designs, fail to meet evolving needs. This product addresses this gap with an innovative rotating dual module structure. It combines grinding and brewing functions while offering portability and compact storage. Free from fixed settings, it is ready to offer the authentic espresso experience whether at home for breakfast, during an office break, or on an outdoor adventure.
Inspiration
This design is born from the modern pursuit of premium coffee that is also convenient to prepare. In the fast paced world, people crave the rich flavor of freshly ground beans but want to avoid cumbersome processes and space constrains. This trend is driving the need for machines that offer professional results and flexible portability, seamlessly fitting into kitchens, offices, and life on the go to unlock the power of a freshly brewed cup to brighten everyday moments.
Project Duration
The design and development of the coffee machine stated in 2022. It was introduced to the market in 2023.
Operation Flow
When not in use, the top module rotates to align with the bottom, saving storage space. Simply rotate the upper module 90 degrees to prepare the machine for brewing. Operation becomes convenient and fun. A top mounted touchscreen offers intuitive control.
The stainless steel burr grinder system offers five adjustable grind levels for personalized needs. The integrated weight sensor automatically calculates the dose and matches the ideal grind level, making the machine friendly to beginners.
