Filter coffee is made by mixing frothed and boiled milk with the decoction obtained by brewing finely ground coffee powder. Preparing filter coffee at home using a filter coffee machine is a tedious and time-consuming job. The concept behind the packaging is to make filter coffee modules and package them. One can place the module on the cup, pour hot water and get a perfect cup of filter coffee after adding milk and sugar. The project is a part of our course curriculum and is done by a team consisting of a product designer(Naveen Kesavan) and a graphic designer(Naveesh Khattar).

What’s Unique?
Since preparing filter coffee at home using a filter coffee machine is a tedious and time-consuming job, the packaging modules make the job a lot easier because the user just has to add hot water and wait till the decoction is prepared.
