How can we innovate a well-known product that has been around for decades? We rely on our contextual approach to help answering the question. So, we hit the streets and went to coffee shops to learn the most we could about the coffee experience.
Develop a new professional coffee machine that represent a huge advantage to Delta.
Elite is an extension of their brand, and the objective was to improve their business.
Smart professional equipment with IoT systems integrated that allows a communication between machine and coffee brand. The overall goal: protect and improve the business perspective of coffee consumption.
A new generation of professional coffee
machines.
Our approach was simple: we wanted to get deep into the coffee experience. So we mapped out different coffee shops and set contextual interviews. We have spoken with every stakeholder from shop owners, vendors, maintenance team and consumers. From all the insights we started our ideation process and Elite was born.

efficiency.
An equipment that adapts to the coffee shop’s decoration and mood. The machine has a modular side, can grow and evolve facing specific needs. Also ensures a 360º access to the interior so it can be easier to repair. It has new technology inside like movement sensors that turn the machine into sleep mode if there is no one around. This coffee machine is intelligent and connected to an app that collects data about coffee consumption, allowing the shop owner to see the services, order more coffee, schedule maintenances, and so on.
