Making products is difficult. Making coffee and tea products we think bring something new to the table is even more difficult.
You may have heard the saying . If you’ve spent some time in the design world, that quote has been beaten over your head more times than “Call Me, Maybe”.
And ya, even though it’s an overused motto, it still holds a lot of truth. For us, failing through prototype after prototype before our first Kickstarter product kept us moving at a steady, healthy pace. Well before the Duo Coffee Steeper campaign dazzled the Kickstarter world, 40 poorly-made-sorry-excuses-for-ideas graced our friends’ kitchens. Each one, exploding coffee grinds everywhere, but also incrementally sharpening our focus towards Duo’s final design.Our design process involved solely rapid prototyping for over a year
From sketching out ideas, making cardboard cutouts, to 3D printing countless shapes and sizes; we visualized, illustrated and materialized Duo in as many ways as humanly possible.
