Kaffekok Coffee Machine
Coffee, a widely normalised drug. But why is coffee paraphernalia not indicative of its drug like attributes? What if coffee machines were representative of their addictive tendencies? Kaffekok embraces addiction and doesn’t hide from it.
Critiquing The Design of Everyday Things
Coffee. Prolonged use can cause anxiety, insomnia, and exhaustion. The beans contain hundreds of chemicals, including the powerful and well-known caffeine, an addictive chemical that is known to cause negative health effects in people with heart disease, insomnia and anxiety. Coffee is a drug and should be used in moderation. So why don’t designers treat it like one? This is an espresso machine that celebrates caffeine addiction.
