About Kalerm Model Z Popolnoma Avtomatski Kavni Aparat

Model Z je popolnoma avtomatski kavni aparat, ki predstavlja nekonvencionalen dizajn, ki se odmika od tradicionalne estetike. Medtem ko je sprednji pogled osredotočen na enostavnost uporabe z velikim zaslonom na dotik, kjer je mogoče izbrati in prilagoditi stotine receptov za kavo, se samodejno prilagodljiv nastavek za kavo premika glede na skodelico in izbran recept. Ambientalna osvetlitev in velik srebrn okvir v obliki črke C naredita izdelek prepoznavnega in z močno oblikovno identiteto. Cevi za vročo vodo, paro in penjeno mleko naredijo Model Z profesionalen in celovit kavni aparat.

Design Challenge
Matching the view of a innovative outlook with the mechanical needs and the cost budget was a real challenge and finding solutions that balance all the aspects involved was really hard.
Research
The machine was developed basing on an engineering mock up that was analyzed adn modified basing on the user experience research results. The team of designers and engineers worked together to adapt the outlook design and the user experience to the technichal needs and viceversa. The test revealed some issues that drove us to a review of the design and some details for the best performance and usability.
Inspiration
The inspiration behind this groundbreaking coffee machine was a bold vision: to break away from the conventional "boxy" designs that dominate the market and create something truly unconventional, dynamic, and futuristic.
Traditional coffee machines often follow a rigid, rectangular form, prioritizing function over visual impact. We challenged this norm by thinking outside the box. Our goal was to craft a machine that is both a high-performance appliance but also an innovative statement piece.
Project Duration
the project was developed by a team of designers and engineers between Italy and China and took around 1 year between July 2023 and June 2024 and was discosed to public during the Shanghai Hotelex exhibition in 2024
Operation Flow
easy to use with a big colorfull and complete touch screen, the user need to place his cup and press the kind of coffee he likes to have. Operator will provide to refill the beans and coffee powder in the hoppers. Water is provided by direct connection to water service and used coffee cakes are collected in a huge container inside the machine that will be cleaned up by operator. This machine is studied for convenient stores and hotels where an operator can prepare the coffee for you, where steam or hot water are needed. The coffee spout is self adapting to the high of the cup you will use.
