The secret to a great coffee is simple: high quality, freshly ground beans and fresh milk. For years vending machine coffee has had a terrible reputation, and rightly so, because manufacturers opted to use the easy option of instant coffee and powdered milk.
Halo achieves barista quality coffee by pairing the best home-roasted beans, ground only at the point of sale, with refrigerated, fresh milk. A user-friendly touch screen interface guides you through the process of creating your perfect espresso, cappuccino or latte, with options for decaf and skimmed milk.
Filament worked with client Matthew Algie to develop the overall design of the machine, as well as the mechanical engineering of the front door unit and how this interacted with the machine frame. This involved close collaboration with the client, along with co-suppliers Screenmedia (screen interface design), Stellex (machine frame), and Tactic (electronics).
