Customization-Focused Coffee Machines

The 'Kallpa' Capsule Coffee Maker Allows for Personalization

— October 18, 2016 — Tech
Coffee machines that utilize pods or capsules to work are often admired for their efficiency, but don't offer much in the way of customization; the 'Kallpa' capsule coffee maker aims to change this.

Designed by Ernesto Rosales Ramírez, the 'Kallpa' coffee maker provides users with nutritional information, capsule combinations and even preparation recommendations. This enables users to create a custom cup of coffee from their kitchen without having to add various brews or ingredients from multiple sources.

The 'Kallpa' capsule coffee maker would work with capsules that feature QR codes on the top portion to allow the unit to know the exact contents immediately. A touchscreen user interface and WiFi connectivity enable the 'Kallpa' coffee maker to be a futuristically modern addition to the kitchen.
