Heightening awareness of design-driven objects.

Coffee for One.




This cool maker offers up a smart industrial design which cleanly integrates a mug in place of a carafe.

The WMF1 Pad takes a single portioned filter and can brew up a fresh cup of Java in about 1 minute. The compact maker features a clean white design, with a choice of four accent colors: kiwi (green), mango (yellow), berry (red) and stone (dark grey). And yes, it includes the perfectly-fitted mug. The brilliantly minimal design even won a 2007 red dot award for its creators.

At this point, the Pad is only available in a European 220-volt configuration, so you’ll need a power converter to use it here in the States.

joeys, an interesting concept! i haven’t seen one yet in USA. it usually takes 3-4 years, or more, for a european product to “appear” in USA. BMW just introduced the “one series” car which is hot in europe. a very cool auto…

If anyone is interested in who did the design of this little coffeemaker: The design of the WMF1 was developed by designaffairs, Munich, Germany.
