Companies are investing in employee experience, especially in the common areas like the modern-day break room. For our brewer design, we were focused on delivering simple, modern, sophisticated geometries that had a professional feel. We were also focused on the ritual of making and drinking coffee, providing an extraordinary yet efficient process. We envisioned a coffeemaker design that complements and completes these beautiful modern office spaces. We know that commercial equipment often represents its top-level performance by celebrating the components that make it function flawlessly. We call this a “celebration of the parts.” In our design, the water reservoir is prominently featured as its own element. A broadened shelf and ribbed, stainless-steel accent panels further elevate the perception of this unit and set an expectation in the users’ minds of a great coffee experience. The subtle overhang references the language of classic drip-coffee machines and premium espresso machines found in cafes. The unit sits atop a plinth, thus establishing an architectural scale and visual rhythm of an energetic, urban landscape.
