CNC Milled Coffee Percolator 

Aluminum, Wood 

This CNC milled percolator embodies the transformation of traditional product designs when  reinvestigated. In this case the form, fabrication, and effectiveness of the coffee maker are explored  with the aim to create a fully functional design that operates at higher pressure in comparison with  traditional stovetop devices.  

Thus, at the core of the design are the engineering calculations regarding heat transfer, pressure, etc  which govern the internal geometry. The external form is then left to reflect the fabrication process as  well as emphasize the evolution of this design from a standard ‘moka’ pot.
