These days, people don't just want their coffee to taste good, they want it to look good, too—how do you think crazy trend like rainbow coffee come about? Keurigs are certainly better looking than your typical pot brewer, but a coffee machine with a super-sleek design could be serious competition for the popular brand. That's the idea that a Korean industrial designer had when he dreamed up the Cyclone Belt coffee machine—a modern, user-friendly coffee machine inspired by elements of Dyson products.
Dyson's Airblade fan and Supersonic hair dryer are known for their functionality and almost futuristic design. Applying similar aesthetics to a coffee-maker, Jaehyo Lee designed a cool concept machine with really useful features. The Cyclone Belt is designed to store coffee beans in an airtight, temperature-controlled chamber to help maintain the taste and scent, while the Dyson cyclone system pulls water upward from the bottom chamber for the coffee drip. Three simple buttons and a fancy lighting interface would operate the single-cup gadget, which is sketched in four colors: blue, orange, violet and silver.
The Cyclone Belt is just a concept, so it's not available for purchase, but if this thing gets put into production, we'll be first in line to buy one. Meanwhile, Keurig better get moving on creating a machine that people actually want on their countertops.
