The Challenge

Our challenge was to develop an innovative application for brewing the perfect cup of coffee. We aimed not only to provide users with recipes but also to empower them to learn the brewing process through step-by-step instructions and visual materials.

To further improve the app, we plan to implement the following features:

  • Step-by-Step Instructions and Visual Materials.
  • Ingredient Check and Shopping List.
  • Reviews and Comments
  • Recipe Updates and Edits

Our impact

Calculation of the amount of water:

An integrated and flexible calculator helps calculate the quantity of ingredients based on the desired volume of the beverage. Calculating the proportions for brewing the perfect cup of coffee can greatly enhance the user experience and assist them in achieving their desired coffee taste. By incorporating a customizable calculator, users can effortlessly adjust the amounts of coffee grounds and water according to their preferences and serving size.

Brew Method

  • Arrangement and organization of the process

Indicating the number of steps before starting the timer allows the user to be prepared and have an estimation of the time required for coffee preparation. It helps organize and streamline the process, enabling users to easily follow and execute each step in the correct sequence.

  • User control and confidence

This idea creates a feeling of control and confidence in the user, since he will have information in advance about the complexity or duration of the process. This can contribute to more successful coffee preparation and satisfaction with the final result.

Timer

Simplifies the process:

Step-by-step instructions combined with illustrations make it easy for users to understand each stage of coffee preparation. This reduces the likelihood of errors and helps beginners confidently brew a delicious cup of coffee.

Visual support:

Illustrations, in conjunction with step-by-step instructions, make the coffee preparation process more comprehensible and accessible. They visually depict each action and allow users to align the images with real-life steps.

The timer, along with step-by-step instructions and illustrations, provides a convenient and enjoyable user experience. It helps avoid unforeseen situations, ensures confidence in performing the correct actions, and allows users to savor the process of brewing coffee.

The Solution

To overcome the difficulties faced by users, we have developed an intuitive and friendly interface that makes the process of making coffee accessible even to beginners. Our solutions include:

  • Visual Instructions and Voice Navigation:

Step-by-step instructions, supported by visual materials, help users easily understand how to prepare coffee.

  • Accurate Measurement and Instructions:

Fake recommendations for measurements of coffee grounds, water and other key brewing parameters help to avoid mistakes and guarantee the quality of the drink.

  • Detailing of Recipes and Parameters:

Additional instructions for temperature, brewing time and other important details ensure the completeness and quality of the recipes.

The Result

We set out to make coffee preparation accessible, engaging, and suitable for everyone, even those without prior experience in this domain.

The key advantages of our application include an intuitive and user-friendly interface with step-by-step instructions and voice navigation, a feature for checking ingredient availability and a shopping list to avoid issues, detailed recommendations for precise measurements and parameterization of brewing, as well as the ability for users to leave reviews and edit recipes according to their preferences.

Through these innovations, we have created an application that not only provides recipes but also educates, enhances, and personalizes the coffee-making process, ensuring user satisfaction at every step.
