Inspiration
The product was designed in-house as an integral part of the Lavazza A MODO MIO product line. The elegant design is composed of bold, colourful, and simple elements with high-quality surfacing and materials. The external shell has a prominent colour split that lowers the perceived height of the product. Rear ventilation slots integrate a horizontal theme that can be found on many Lavazza products. The modern look and adds a special touch to any kitchen.
Project Duration
The project was designed in Turin, Italy. The complete product development process took about 10 months.
Operation Flow
MilkUp is designed for a simple and intuitive user interaction. To use the frother simply insert the whisk in the center of the jug. Then add the milk so that it at least covers the minimum mark. Place the jug in the base unit and close the lid to avoid any splashes. Now press the button on the front of the base to start frothing. If you want to froth milk without heating it then you can press and hold the button for three seconds. The frothing cycle takes about a minute and a half after which it will stop automatically and sound two beeps. After that simply pour the frothed milk for a truly delicious cappuccino or latte.
