The 'Origin' coffee maker concept is a demure kitchen appliance designed with the origin of coffee beans in mind to pay homage to its rich history. The coffee maker is inspired by Ethiopia where coffee plants have been cultivated since the 7th century and features a shape that calls to mind the African country. The stainless steel coffee maker maintains a sleek construction that is intentionally unfinished to highlight a rustic aesthetic by allowing scratches and corrosions to shine through.
The 'Origin' coffee maker concept is the design work of Cheese C and features an intuitive user interface that will allow for on-demand espresso shot pulling or Americano brewing. Users can also monitor the amount of water and coffee beans inside at a single glance.
