Barista Beetle: Coffee Machine Design by JCT600 & Jarim Koo

British company JCT600 teamed up with South Korean designer Jarim Koo (previously) to create this stunning Beetle-inspired coffee machine.

“Klaus Bischoff – Volkswagen’s Head of Design – describes the brand’s design philosophy in 3 words: ‘Simple, sophisticated, and different.’ Koo has undoubtedly adopted this philosophy across the Barista Beetle. Koo has embodied the brand’s unique image and identity here that is synonymous with the VW Beetle.

Smartly detailed, the Barista Beetle has subtle design choices like; the embodiment of the lid and the body, connected without a break in curvature or the chrome bezels on the dials which add a timeless element to this carefully thought out semantic fusion between motor and machine. Similar to brands like SMEG, this Barista Beetle has a unique appeal, adaptable to any interior environment you place it in.”
