This project explores a fully automatic, smart coffee grinder designed for fast-paced commercial environments. It efficiently handles multiple user requests in a queue while delivering consistent grind quality through high-performance burrs, static reduction, and overheating prevention. With an intuitive interface and low-maintenance design, the grinder prioritizes speed, reliability, and long-term durability.
Target Market
Primary: Food outlets serving food and drinks requiring high efficiency and low maintenance.
Secondary: Offices or co-working spaces where multiple users may submit grind requests.
Tertiary: Home coffee enthusiasts.
