Design Brief
Animo as been offering a wide range of coffee and tea making systems and machines for professional use.
Manufacture of the stainless steel casings of the coffee makers is mostly in Animo’s own hands. A stainless steel casing was one of the product design requirements for the new bean-to-cup Optibean.
The design
WeLLDesign designed a casing with a minimum of plastic parts, so its manufacture was mostly done by Animo itself.
The design is stylish, contemporary and robust. The OptiLight (LED) illumination is one of Optibean’s distinguishing features and a true experience! The colour of the light can be set up entirely according to the user’s wishes.
The design is modern and advanced, with an international touch, fitting the Animo brand’s quality and ambitions. The design appeals to a wider market segment. Optibean sales numbers are considerably higher than was estimated at the start of the project.
With its sleek lines, LED lighting and high-quality finish, the OptiBean is a stylish eye-catcher in any interior – Animo
Market and customer-oriented
The device is available in four versions. The difference is in the number of canisters for ingredients. The more canisters, the more choice in coffee variations. In addition, there is also an XL version available. This is equipped with an extra large espresso system for larger, fuller cups.
The OptiBean is very user-friendly. It is easy to install, easy to clean, requires little maintenance and is easy to operate. It is also durable. The materials and construction guarantee years of trouble-free use. It is also energy-efficient.
OptiVend
The OptiBean is especially for espresso. WeLLDesign has also developed the OptiVend for Animo. This device is a brewing system for instant coffee. One push of a button and within a few seconds you have delicious coffee in your favorite flavor. Whether it is espresso, latte macchiato, cappuccino or tea, the OptiVend gives you all the freedom.
The product requirements for the OptiBean also applied to the OptiVend. The characteristic design has also been incorporated into this device. With many different variants (S, S TS, NG, TS, High Speed, High Speed Duo and TL), there is a device available for every situation. The TS comes in no fewer than 8 versions and has 6 canisters.
