Youtube channels, blogs, Instagram reels and just about any other social platform is filled with cinematic home-barista coffee content. Influencers are entertaining the idea of learning the art to newcomers, and elegant products are in high demand.

There are plenty of choices when deciding which coffee brewer to use. Each tool has a completely different brewing experience and delivers different flavor profiles.

Now that I knew what I wanted the product to be, I put together a mood board that represents elegance and nature. The linear patterns became a driving force in the final design - to me, it embodies the aesthetics of the trend I was designing for.
