Wood with grounded coffee
30 x 16.5 x 2 cm


An artist impression of the Anomatic Coffee Machine. It is about lost energy, energy consumption, using the Cradle to Cradle sustainability philosophy and what happens inside the coffee machine. 

To get one espresso, the normal lost of energy is more than hundred people walking through the machine is needed. Their energy is stored in their bean bags. The big wheel release the energy at certain level. Coffee will be grounded and tamped, water is boiled by friction (!) (instead of fire? electricity) of wood on metal and pumped under pressure through the coffee.
