Improvement and Innovation of Appearance Design of Coffee Machine

Abstract

In China, traditional manufacturing industries are changing into innovative industries, and the labels of commodities are changing from "made in China" to "created in China. The design and production technology of the coffee machines have started early abroad, which are relatively mature, focus on innovative design and development. However, market positioning of most domestic coffee machines is not clear without innovation, just the introduction of foreign design and technology. It would cost much to model or copy domestic and foreign existing products because it would be costly to process with heavy dependence on others. Modeling functions are mostly stereotyped, which are "stiff" and lack a sense of design, and there are many shortcomings in the using functions. So there is a big space for improvement and development. 1. Classification of coffee machines 1.1 Semi-automatic coffee machine Maintenance of semi-automatic coffee machine is an easy, reliable work. The coffee made by semi-automatic coffee machine tastes silky. But the drawback is that the operation is cumbersome and complex, the operator must undergo strict training to use this machine to make high-quality coffee and improve the work efficiency. 1.2 Automatic coffee machine Automatic coffee machine boasts convenient and fast operation, high efficiency and consistent quality. The number of cup of coffee per hour made by it is 60 to 280, which is quite more than the traditional coffee machine, so it is preferred by the majority of consumers. But its structure is more complex, requires expensive maintenance. The main manufacturers of automatic coffee machine are Germany, Switzerland and Italy. Among them, Swiss automatic coffee machine design is ingenious and unique. Automatic coffee machines made in Italy are simple in appearance, stable and reliable in quality, enjoying high reputation in the international coffee machine industry. They can be subdivided into three sizes: large, medium and small, which are suitable for office usage and family usage, as shown in figure 1.
