About Gemini Модульле кофе савыты

Gemini — кул белән пешерүне һәм мока савытында пешерүне бер җайланмада берләштергән модульле кофе савыты. Тарту өлеше корпуска кертелгән, шуңа күрә аерым кораллар кимрәк кирәк һәм урын азрак алына. Кофе онының вак-эрелеге капкачны борып көйләнә. Тарту өлешен аска басу порошок чыгу юлын яба һәм мока пешерү режимын башлый. Тарту өлеше эченә фильтр кәгазе куелганда, кул белән пешерү мөмкин була. Күпчелек өлешләр кабат эшкәртелә торган пластиктан, ә кайбер өлешләр металлдан ясалган.

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.
