Coffee Bee

The Coffee Bee uses air pressure to force boiling water through the grounds, producing a strong cup of coffee. This week-long project was aimed at students, who have limited living space, and need compact solutions to everyday products.

Compact

The "accordion style" mid-section folds down to make this pocket-sized profile when closed. This allows for easy storage and transport, which is especially important for students, where space is at a premium. 

Removable Filter

The stainless steel filter can be inserted/removed with a twist-to-lock motion. This ensures a secure fit, but also allows for easy removal for cleaning.

Model

I made an aesthetic prototype using 3D printing, finished with high-build primer and gloss paint.
