This pod brewer lets you make your favorite coffee and espresso drinks at home with the convenience of single-serve. The brewer is app amplified with features like remote brew, so your perfect cup will be waiting for you when you walk into the kitchen.


I worked with industrial designers to define the hardware UI for the brewer and frother. While focusing on the information architecture and feature hierarchy for the machine and app, I created task flows and visual design directions for both the device and app UI.
