The Design Philosophy of Meraki's Espresso Machine

By Adam Ling

Published:May, 2023

At Meraki, our dedication to thoughtful design goes beyond aesthetics. We started our journey by focusing on the core coffee-making experience. Traditional machines often have bulky, obstructive designs that detract from the joy of brewing the perfect cup. Our goal was to streamline this process, creating a machine as intuitive and straightforward as preparing ingredients on a cutting board.

To achieve this, we integrated three commercial-grade modules—grinding, extraction, and steaming—into a sleek, simple design. Arranged sequentially to mirror the coffee-making process, these modules provide a transparent, engaging visual experience. As you move from grinding beans to extracting espresso and steaming milk, each step is visible, enhancing the entire coffee-making journey.

Our innovative design features CoffeeSense™ Technology, an NFC coffee solution. Simply place Meraki coffee beans on the screen for instant recognition and access to complete coffee information and recipes. This eliminates the worry of low-quality coffee due to incorrect parameters, ensuring a perfect cup every time.

Engineering Configuration and Heat Management

We believe the engineering excellence of our coffee machine should be evident, delivering performance on par with commercial machines. Instead of venting heat from the top, our design increases overall surface area dedicated to cooling, eliminating the need for extra space and making the machine more compact and efficient.

Solving the Grinder's Temperature Sensitivity

One significant challenge of integrating a grinder into a coffee machine is managing temperature and moisture, which can drastically affect performance. This is why commercial coffee machines typically avoid combining these components. However, our design ingeniously solves this problem, ensuring the grinder operates optimally within our all-in-one solution.

Simplified Water Replenishment

Our independent water tank design makes refilling the machine easy and user-friendly, significantly reducing the hassle.
