I started this project when I began my job as a casual barista at Allpress Espresso, Sydney. I was intrigued by the capsules, wondering how their taste compares to their actual specialty counterparts (come to Sydney and find out). I struggled to get the metallic textures of the capsules to look “right” under camera movement. So, I fell back on the pure white capsules, where—surprisingly—the forms and contours, which I hadn’t anticipated, turned out quite pleasing. The simulation was my attempt to preserve the signature Allpress color theme while “spicing things up.” I wanted the ripple effect to flow through the object, echoing the sensory experience of coffee brewing.
