Breve
Espresso Machine
Design Intent
Design a compact, battery operated espresso machine. Meant for travel and use in small living spaces.
Target Market
Small Kitchens
Small size makes Breve easy to stow away when counter space is needed.

Inspiration
Ideation
Chosen Idea
I experimented with many styles of machines. I decided on a cylindrical machine with more simple features.
CAD Ideation
Initial CAD modeling consisted of altering size of the water inlet as well as experimenting with fillets
I aimed to create a sleek and simple appearance that is user friendly
Final CAD Model
Modelled in Fusion 360- rendered in Keyshot
Color combo for everyone!
Breve- a decadent espresso drink made with steamed half and half rather than whole milk, topped with milk foam.
