Sustainable Coffee Solution

Project Overview
This project was particularly enjoyable as it allowed me to re-think my own personal coffee solution and adapt it. My solutions were heavily inspired by my overuse of coffee.

The service that is provided by the Coffee Co-Operative allows customers to use and re-use a durable/modular cup at all coffee shops associated with the subscription service.

The modularity was incorporated to help reduce caffeine intake, reduce hassle of cleaning and allow replacement parts if there is any damage.
The Brief
Your brief is to ‘take apart’ an existing coffee experience and ‘remake it’ to deliver an exciting future coffee experience for a given coffee customer.‍

Deliverables

Industrial Design

The Product

- Modular in design allows the cup to be cleaned and maintained more easily.
- Leak-proof design means no accidental spillages.
- Thermally insulated  
- Robust and lightweight materials.
- Milk preference colour coded.
- Made from recycled plastic and metal.

User Experience

The Service

- Monthly subscription £4.99, cancel anytime.
- Cup can be returned to any of subscription stores.
- When purchasing coffee, barcode is scanned and cup is linked to account. Upon return the cup is scanned and removed from the account. If cups are not returned by the end of the monthly period they are billed a further £8.99 (This is to prevent cups not being returned).
‍

Environment Design

The experience

- Cups are picked based on milk preference. Each colour represents a milk type (This is to prevent cross contamination).
- Depending on coffee size, more or less modules will be used to build your cup.
- Upon return the cups are disassembled and placed in the corresponding bins to be cleaned and processed
