Project description_

For people who don’t really go through the ritual of making their own coffee, are often easily found at most baristas, but anyone will attest that a quick-grab version of the beverage is average at best… and relatively expensive. This provided Fangueiro with the perfect opportunity to develop a machine that performed the coffee ritual on behalf of its user, and was as simple to operate as a Nespresso.

Inspiration_

Coffee-drinking is a slow, elaborate, thoroughly enjoyed process. Nespresso Essence simplifies how you prepare your coffee by allowing you to simply load a coffee-pod the machine, selecting your size, strength and milk ratio and letting the machine do the rest of the work. The brewer extracts the unique blend of coffee from within the cap, steeps it in water for the right time at the right temperature, and then pours it into a cup below.

Redefining the coffee experience_

human_lab, under the visionary leadership of Andre Fangueiro, is reshaping the coffee machine. Nespresso Essence design ‘boils down’ to its single-screen interface that makes it incredibly easy to prepare your coffee without worrying about over-steeping or under-steeping.
