What if we use CO2 instead of air?
EURICA MOMENT
The journey began unexpectedly in a supermarket, sparked by a simple glance at a CO2 cylinder, leading to the groundbreaking question:
“What if we use CO2 instead of air?”
This insight, recognizing that air pressure doesn’t significantly interact with water, propelled the team toward utilizing CO2 to enhance espresso brewing. This concept, after years of meticulous refinement, gave birth to Riespresso, embodying the team’s dedication to crafting a nuanced and poetic espresso experience through the fusion of gas technology and traditional espresso.
A SIMPLE GAS BUT ARDUOUS
BEAUTIFUL BUT ...
The primary obstacle was managing the pressure variability, which required extensive development to master the mechanics. Successfully converting this pressure into a form of art exemplified their perseverance and creativity, marking a significant achievement in their quest to revolutionize coffee preparation
