The new DUOBO is a coffee machine by LG Labs that is made with inspiration drawn from space. The most defining feature of the machine is that it is able to extract two coffee pods at the exact same time, which opens up possibilities for unique coffee blends.
It is able to function with all standard-size coffee pods with control options for water temperature and quantity. In terms of the design inspiration, the space theme can be seen at first glance as it is made to resemble the 1969 Apollo 11 Lunar Lander. The space module look stands on top of three legs as the foundation and the platform has a display that showcases the entire process.
