Background
The French press is a favorite brewing style of industry professionals and coffee lovers around the world. As one of the purest ways to brew coffee, the richest and most complete flavor profiles come out of a French Press. Still, the long process, messy cleanup, and low volume yield mean this industry favorite had not yet been seriously used commercially…until now.
Bravura’s inventor had the original concept and spent 10 years searching for the right company to help bring her product to life. That’s exactly what Mark One Launch did by taking her prototype design and reengineering and improving it for manufacturability while maintaining the aesthetics and functional deliverables that were important to the customer.
The Challenge
Mark One Launch Delivers
Mark One Launch was able to manufacture an initial production working test unit for UL (Underwriter Laboratories) approval in 90 days at a fraction of the cost compared to other quotes and paths previously explored by Bravura.
Sleek Design
Beautiful and unique piece of art with front of the house display design that would make any owner proud.
Ease of Use
Designed for both aesthetics and functionality, Mark One Launch helped curate a truly user-friendly machine.
Rapid Prototyping
Mark One Launch delivered 157 prototype parts in less than 90 days and a fully functional production unit in less than 6 months.
Market Testing
Mark One Launch took an early production unit and worked with a local coffee shop daily to flush out any issues while operating in a true on-demand working environment using feedback from the operators in real-time.
Complete Program Management
The entire product was managed 100% by Mark One Launch employees from design reimagining to beta testing to full supply chain management and ultimately first customer delivery.
End-Customer Satisfaction
End-customers are able to brew over 100 cups of pressed coffee/hour while realizing an upcharge opportunity increasing ROI significantly more than drip brewers and single or small volume techniques.
