A Design Studio Collaborating with the Coffee Industry: From Small Coffee Farm Wastewater Treatment to Innovative Generative Design Espresso Machines.
Recently, we are working on the Project Lombriz Nadando: An affordable and straightforward coffee wastewater filtration system based on vermifiltration, which utilises earthworms in an aerobic treatment process. Specifically designed for small coffee farms, it effectively minimises the environmental impact.

Gene
Gene blends traditional espresso brewing with modern innovation. Using generative design and SLM 3d printing, it improves structural efficiency, optimises material use, and incorporates organic aesthetics inspired by nature, giving the classic lever espresso machine a futuristic identity. Its intuitive lever mechanism and titanium 3d-printed load-bearing structures, paired with cnc-machined contact points, create a design that embodies strength and dynamic motion.
