A home use capsule coffee machine designed for Coca-Cola Japan Company. After placing the capsule which contains coffee beans into the machine, with a single push of a button users can serve themselves a variety of drinks, “Regular Black”, “Iced Coffee” and “Café Latte”.

我們為可口可樂日本公司設計了一款家用膠囊咖啡機。用戶只需將裝有咖啡豆的膠囊放入機器中，按一下按鈕，就可以便利地為自己制作種類多樣的飲品，例如黑咖啡、冰咖啡和拿鐵咖啡。

The appropriate water temperature is automatically set according to the flavor, and a mechanism for evenly spreading the hot water within the capsule, allowing for a drip-type machine that has a softer pressurizing effect compared to espresso-machines is utilised. These two functions make it possible to gain a mild taste with a rich aroma and less bitterness and sharpness. It also became possible to serve tea and iced coffee. And above all, this unique soft pressurizing feature reduces the level of noise made upon the brewing process as to not disturb the user. Inspired by this “quietness”, the machine was designed to be used in places like the living room, rather than making it a cooking tool found in kitchens. The main body was shaped into a simple cube, and its backside was also made presentable so that it can be placed in the middle of the room and not just alongside a wall. The round-shaped “mouth” on the front prevents the coffee from spattering during the dripping process. Other than this, in order to maintain the feeling of relaxation when enjoying a cup of coffee, the movement of the lid of the capsule slot was fine-tuned to open slowly, giving a welcoming feeling. Touch-panels were used for the operational buttons so that it would not be visible when it is not being operated, and the interface designed to blink softly in a way that doesn’t give the feeling you are being rushed. In addition, a built-in speaker was adopted and sound design was also conducted: a clicking sound was added in order to mimic the feeling of “pushing” a button, and the alarm which goes off when the drink is served, or when the water has run out, is played with a soft guitar sound.

機器會根據不同飲品的自動調節水溫。機器內熱水均勻流動的機制使得滴漏咖啡機內部的壓力小于濃縮咖啡機，保證了飲品更溫和的口感，更濃郁的香氣，同時減少了苦味和刺激性。這款機器還可以提供茶和冰咖啡。最重要的是，這種獨特的壓力機制可降低沖泡過程中產生的噪音，得益于這種“安靜”，這臺機器能夠用于客廳等地方，而不僅僅是廚房中使用的烹飪工具。主體被塑造成一個簡單的立方體，它的背面也被做得很像樣，這樣它就可以放在房間的中間，而不只是靠墻。正面的圓形“口”可以防止咖啡在滴的過程中濺出。除此之外，為了保持喝咖啡時的放松感，膠囊槽蓋的移動被微調為緩慢打開，給人一種溫暖的感覺。操作按鈕使用了觸摸面板，這樣在不操作的時候就看不見了，而且界面設計為柔和地閃動，不會讓人覺得你在趕時間。此外,采用內置揚聲器和對聲音也進行了特殊處理:當咖啡煮好警報響起的時候，增加了點擊聲音為了模仿“推”按鈕的感覺,或者當水已經耗盡,用輕柔的吉他聲音。

A case for storing the capsules and a box for throwing out the used capsules, which can be aligned perfectly with the machine, were also designed. Lastly, the design of the machine provides the option of placing a 500 ml plastic bottle directly on the machine instead of using the water tank, eliminating the need for filling up or cleaning. This design was adopted in anticipation of the project creating a synergy effect with Coca Cola Japan Company’s mineral water “I LOHAS”.

還設計了一個儲存膠囊的盒子和一個扔掉用過的膠囊的盒子，這樣膠囊可以完美地與機器對齊。最后，機器的設計提供了一個選擇，將一個500毫升的塑料瓶直接放在機器上，而不是使用水箱，省去了灌裝或清洗的需要。這個設計是為了與可口可樂日本公司的礦泉水“I LOHAS”產生協同效應。
