The Design

About Gemini Modular na Coffee Pot

Ang Gemini ay isang modular na coffee pot na pinagsasama ang hand brewing at moka pot brewing sa iisang aparato. May nakapaloob na bahagi para sa paggiling sa katawan nito, kaya mas kaunting hiwalay na kagamitan ang kailangan at mas kaunting espasyo ang nagagamit. Ang pinong pagkakagiling ng kape ay maiaayos sa pamamagitan ng pag-ikot ng takip. Ang pagdiin pababa sa bahagi ng paggiling ay nagsasara sa labasan ng pulbos at nagsisimula ng moka brewing mode. Kapag nilagyan ng filter paper ang loob ng bahagi ng paggiling, posible ang hand brewing. Ang karamihan sa mga bahagi ay gawa sa nare-recycle na plastik, at ang ilang bahagi ay gawa sa metal.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

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.
