There are many different devices for preparing coffee that stand equally side by side, from the simple French Press to intelligent high-tech, fully automatic coffee makers. Which one to choose usually depends on one’s individual lifestyle. The design of the DROP coffee maker plays with the expectations and clichés in this field. The intention of the design was to break with existing conventions in order to make something new emerge. In the sense of creating an allegorical and poetic link with the coffee universe, the formal approach of this coffee maker is inspired by the form of a rebounding coffee drop during preparation. The interface, water tank and even the tiniest details were meticulously integrated to consistently realise this concept. The machine thus adopts a well-proportioned appearance and fascinates with surfaces of soft appeal. Thanks to its organic lines, it appeals to users at first glance. Operating the device is intuitive and self-explanatory. The revolving architecture offers the advantage that DROP can be placed in the middle of a table, allowing a free orientation on 360 degrees for convenient access. With its eye-catching design, this coffee maker takes on the look of an artistic object – it enriches coffee culture with a highly enchanting interpretation.
