Millstone is a manual coffee grinder inspired by traditional ways of grinding grains since
ancient times.
-Grinding since old times
During coffee prep, coffee beans must be ground but it either requires small-batch hand grinding or an expensive electrical grinding. To solve this issue, the goal was to create an easy-to-use hand grind tool which can also look aesthetically look pleasing.
-Inspiration board
Gathered the ideation of object which people use to grind grains and beans historically
-Ideation
Focused on ....
01: How to make use of space and resources
02: Accessibility to its features.
-Design direction
Combined traditional aspect with modern products
-Mock ups
We explored various shapes and sizes, which would fit best for the user and easy to use.
-Final design
By combining an old stone aspect with a modern mechanism, the users can grind coffee beans in a traditional way in a much easier way, also without having to worry about spills or cleaning messes. It is also more compact and lighter, which makes it easier to carry and place.
