Clover PR: Good on ya, Z!

 

“Move over, espresso”

“Near the hard-working espresso machine at Ritual Coffee Roasters, a café in San Francisco, sits a stainless-steel box about the size of a desktop computer. This box, the Clover, produces a cup of coffee with a spectacle of streaming water, whirring motors and an ingenious inverse plunger. Zander Nosler, the industrial designer who invented the Clover nearly three years ago, seems to have done the impossible: attracted a cult following for a new coffee-making machine that is both slower and vastly more expensive than other machines and requires the undivided attention of a trained operator.”

Lots of things to love about this Diesel Style Lounge designed by Germany AARF office Neue Digitale, but mostly the detail and thorough execution. Beautiful follow through on an immersive (literally) metaphor, great soundtrack, entertaining content snippets during load, stunning video integration, clever customisation of the cursor to be more “fish-like”… only criticism might be usability related when trying to figure out what’s clickable and what isn’t - getting around isn’t as easy as it could be.
