Design
The design phase focuses on gaining insights into users’ needs to define the value a new product will bring to the coffee community. Through research, brainstorming, and sketching sessions, a variety of concepts are created.
DESIGN
The best ideas are selected to advance further. The goal is to use design thinking to improve the next generation of a product or bring a new product innovation to life.
ENGINEERING
Our engineering efforts center on the selected design concept through the use of CAD modeling. We convert an idea into an engineered 3D digital part. This 3D model continues to evolve to address final aesthetics, manufacturability and costs objectives.
PROTOTYPING
Prototyping is an important step before manufacturing a product. It is a cost-effective way to further explore and confirm a design by making it real.
PROTOTYPING
Prototypes provide the opportunity to validate a product idea and gain feedback from the intended consumers. Based on your needs, we deliver prototypes several different ways from 3D printed parts to production quality samples.
PRODUCTION
Over the course of 25 years we’ve created a network of suppliers and manufactures in the USA and overseas. This capability allows us to build quality into every step of the product creation process, not just when a product is going into production.
PRODUCTION
Our ability to oversee product development allows us to optimize quality and cost. Understanding all aspects of product creation is an essential skill to produce products successfully. Our relationships are strong and product creation experience respected.

Design Thinking and Innovation

OUR Process for coffee making Tools

EMPATHIZE and Define

What is needed

We consult world barista champions, highly regarded cafe’ owners, and respected espresso machine manufacturers to research opportunities to develop and create products that will enhance and grow the specialty coffee industry. This process provides insight and an empathetic understanding of the problems that can be solved with innovative product design.

 

Understanding

 Observation and discussion encourages possible solutions and further defines the core problems.  This process helps to keep efforts human-centered and human-centered design focuses on users and their needs.

IDEATE , prototype, and test

Brainstorming

Once we define the problems and have a better understanding of consumer needs, we begin the process of ideation. During the ideation process, we brainstorm on a range of creative ideas and solutions to address the needs and problems. “Out of the box” thinking and leading with innovation are what Artpresso thrives on the most.

 

Possible solutions

After sketching out possible solutions, ideas are shared for feedback and then prototypes are made.  Thereafter, 3D models are created to test the product variations and see how they work and what additional function and design changes need to be made.
