Design | Porcelain Espresso Machine by Arvid Häusser

If you live and breathe porcelain, maybe you’d also be interested in getting your daily caffeine fix from a porcelain espresso machine. The Seppl, designed by German product design student Arvid Häusser, utilizes the properties of porcelain to brew up a fine, pure-tasting shot of java: porcelain is ideal for food processes because it is antiseptic, has a high capacity for heat, and doesn’t alter the taste of the espresso it brews.

Häusser designed the Seppl to attach to a wall mount, which frees up counter space. The components of the machine are affixed to the mount separately and are visible as individual parts. It’s no secret that separate components beat a sealed machine when it comes to upkeep and Seppl’s features insure an easier espresso-making process.

This isn’t Häusser’s only foray into efficient, porcelain, coffee making. The Kasper, which also can be found on his web site, is a wall-mounted coffee grinder. The space-saving and taste-neutral grinder can chew through about four cups worth of coffee beans in one shot. It is available as a single unit or Häusser offers it in its  individual parts, for D.I.Y. people who, according to the designer,  want to “get deep insights” into the coffee-making process by putting the grinder together themselves.

Arvid Häusser is a 23-year-old student at Bauhaus University in Weimar, Germany. In 2012 alone he exhibited work at the Kaffeemuseum and the Bauhaus Archive Museum of Design, both of Berlin, and at the Ambiente Trade Fair in Frankfurt.
