A sleek, automatic pour-over coffee machine designed to fit right on your desk as you WFH

Posted on by

The Brewster DCM5000 is a single-cup, automatic pour-over machine designed for those who WFH to have a compact, easy-to-use coffee machine.

Access to a cup of quality coffee is essential if you work from home. Nothing can beat our go-to coffee order from our favorite barista, but we can try and get close to it in our kitchen. Whether you’ve got the taste for an espresso, latte, or just a cup of joe, having the right coffee brewer makes or breaks the morning. For those who tend towards pour-overs first thing, a team of designers, Abishek Sen, Tanvi Supe, and Vanshika Singhi, conceptualized the Brewster DCM5000, an automatic, one-cup pour-over machine.

Designed especially for those of us who work from home, the Brewster DCM5000 is compact and highly technical to limit the mess of making coffee and make it easier to use. The team of India-based designers conceptualized the Brewster DCM5000 as a coffee maker that could be placed on a desk without taking up too much space.

Downsized to fit in any workspace, the Brewster DCM5000’s bulkiest part is the 250ml water tank. Even so, the Brewster DCM5000 features a rear cavity that holds the water tank in place, cutting its width in half. In addition to its compact size, the designers wanted to ensure that users could select the number of cups they’d like brewed, the strength of their coffee, and enjoy an automatic circular pour-over mechanism.

To brew a pour-over cup of coffee, users can pull out Brewster DCM5000’s water reservoir and fill it with fresh water, place their mug beneath the filter and filter cone before selecting the brewing process. Then, the freshwater is pumped towards a tubular heating element that heats up the water to pour over the coffee grinds. The automatic circular pour-over mechanism then works to evenly distribute hot water over the filter cone to make a single cup of steaming hot coffee.

Following periods of ideating and CAD modeling, the team of designers finalized the Brewster DCM5000’s look and technical design.

The Brewster DCM5000’s packaging is eco-friendly by design.

When evening rolls around and that itch for a cup of coffee comes, pour-overs are the perfect remedy. Designed to make coffee one cup at a time, pour-overs allow complete control over the brewing of your coffee right in the comfort of your kitchen. The coffee grounds fill about a quarter of the brew canister which are then poured over with hot water, giving you control over the flavor extraction and intensity.

Even the package makes the arrangement of X & Y’s components easy to understand. Introducing their take on the brewing system, Kurz Kurz Design unveiled their X & Y pour-over set, featuring a stainless steel gooseneck kettle and brewer coated in charcoal black and cobalt blue. Typically designed as a complete set, pour-over coffee makers are practical and chic additions to any kitchen counter. While we all want the trusted set our barista uses, finding our own at-home pour-over set could bring us even closer to that perfect cup of coffee.

X&Y comes in both charcoal black and cobalt blue. Developed in stainless steel, the gooseneck kettle and filter stand come complete with added thermal insulation from a banded construction. On top of that, a strip of cobalt blue-dyed leather comes with the package specifically designed to wrap around the gooseneck kettle’s handle, doubly ensuring a safe pour.

Kurz Kurz Design balances geometric angles with round glassware. The coffee mugs are constructed from glass and feature stainless steel grips. If the cobalt blue color accents are too poppy for your kitchen counter, Kurz Kurz Design developed a sleek, all-black color option with a brown leather strap for a more minimal and homey look.

Without any need for electrical power, pour-overs are accessible and practical. Geometric shapes fill out the majority of X & Y’s components, with a square filter, stand resting atop a cylindrical glass tumbler. In contrast to the durable stainless steel kettle and filter, the rest of X & Y’s components are constructed from glass, including the coffee mugs and tumbler, so you can watch with bated breath as your coffee pours from the filter into your mug, taking you into the night.

This super-compact + full-size pour-over brewer made from single piece of aluminum is indestructible!

Being a coffee enthusiast myself, I don’t think there’s much left to explore in the pour-over coffee brewing style. Nothing considerable in a brewer’s design would change how the coffee actually tastes. That said, there is of course a lot of innovation possible when it comes to the choice of material, especially because fashion-forward, throw-away plastic brewers have been the most cost-effective choice around the world. Orea coffee dripper; one of the world’s smallest coffee brewers sets out to make that possible and also tries to tinker with the flat-base design to make it a tad faster and clog-free.

This pour-over brewer with an innovative drainage ring in the base that results in a fast flow rate is slightly different from the brewers with smaller holes that lead to extended brew time and often clog up. The Orea is an extremely compact full-size pour-over brewer that you can throw away in the bag without having to worry about breaking it. The robust, lightweight, and super compact Orea is made from 100-percent aluminum and can go with you on any adventure and at the same time work effectively in your kitchen.

Made in the UK, Orea means “from the mountains” – a fitting name for this teeny weeny coffee brewer that is made for the outdoorsy. It weighs only 60g and is designed to fit in a standard cup, camping pot, or unnoticeably in your bag. According to the designers, it is ideal for camping, backpacking, and also for everyday use in the kitchen. What really makes the Orea stand out in the crowd is not so much its cute little design, but the construction and material use. The Orea is milled out of one solid block of aerospace-grade aluminum using a CNC machine.

Orea is made to work with Kalita Wave 155 filters, which can filter finely ground beans and strain a perfect cup of Joe when residing within this petite brewer. Owing to its size, the brewer can only brew one cup (350ml) of coffee at a time. It is priced slightly high at US $69.99 but the Orea justifies its cost with its unique strength and guarantee to last a lifetime, which not only adds to an adventurer’s confidence in his brewer but also means lesser waste ends up in the landfills!
