It is time for another Sketch Challenge. You can grab your coffee with this one, because you need it for inspiration. We are going to sketch coffee makers! Try to create something original, new in shape, materials or usage or whatever you can come up with, something you want to own yourself. Sketch in 2D and perspective views. Render it with markers or in Photoshop, Painter or Sketchbook. Just use all the tools you have. Have fun!

I saw the post and figured why not? It was a good excuse to work on my digital skills.

Thanks Newt, I actually like the carafe more than the rest. Maybe I'll do another.

Thought I may aswell have a stab.
The main body is meant to be like brushed aluminium and the two top compartments are the water and coffee reservoirs.  Any comments are more than welcome. |

Here's something I did in sketchbook pro - trying to practice both my linework and rendering of material textures. Starting with glossy stuff at first as you can tell!

Seems to me we could all try to eliminate from our minds what the obvious design of a coffee maker should be. Ask yourselves do they all have to look the same except for some change in form. It would be cool to push this idea even further. Look at the problems associated with current designs, look at the interaction and what making coffee really means to people, and build on the positives like the smell floating through your flat. I love that smell. Make it a thing of beauty.

To really come up with something new we have to go back to basics, try free-association, imagine you've never seen a coffee maker before... What does coffee mean to me? Absolutely essential to function in the morning! Need coffee... So... here's my napkin sketch - a bright red, round shape - first thing i see in the morning (even without glasses)

lokilabs, perhaps you could throw down a sketch and add to the collection of images? I agree with you but talk is cheap.
Ling ling, that totally looks like a...............well, uh................nevermind. -------------------- before thinking outside the box, perhaps rethinking the box is a better solution

Finally found some time to post on this site.
This is my attempt done in sbp- I was thinking the water chamber could be easily detachable for convenience reasons.

Ok so bear with me, I'm an engineer working in product development. I'm currently working my way through a sketching book (started yesterday) But I'm getting more and more into the design side of things. So with that disclaimer, he's my attempt at a coffee maker.
The idea is it sits in the corner, and fills one cup at a time with a reservoir. for the next cup. Beans are dumped in the top right and grinds come out the top left. You bring the water over by filling up the removable reservoirs on each side. The bottom is removable for cleaning and/or larger cups. Feedback and direction on sketching skills is much appreciated.
