" A better tea-making process for beverage stores "

Teapot, provide a better tea-making system for today's beverage stores in Taiwan.

Ong, Wei Yee

Lin, Hsin Ju

Chang, Shih Min

Lu, Hsiang Hsi

This project is related to purifying water, so we chose beverage store as our target users. By observaing and experiencing the teamaking process, from preparing to cooking, we intergrated the exisiting tea-making process and simplify the process. Based on the now existed facility,we re-design the equipment to help beverage store spare the unecessary space and improve the efficiency of tea making.

MOTIVATION BEVERAGE STORE It holds a big consumption of water,and we thought that it might have a big request for the purified, drinkable water.

FOOD SAFETY Taiwan is a country that many people love drinking beverages. So the quality of water seems to be a great concern that owes our attention.

INTERVIEW from user Through the interview with shop's keeper, we know m o re t h o ro u g h l y a b o u t t h e p ro c e s s o f m a k i n g tea. These tips are professional and rely on user's experience.

" During the tea cooking process, all leaves should be spread through the entire pot " " Cooked-tea should be prepared in advanced when there are only 3 cups of tea left in the container "

" Different types of tea has different request in temperature " " There is low requirement for RO filter, since tea needs water of minerals to bring a better taste " " After the tea is cooked, it should be in contact with air until the temperature drops to 40-60째C "

PROCESS

OF TEA-MAKING

By obser ving what tea-shop staff is doing in everyday routine, we've exprienced the whole process that relates to water utillity, and we also ask them what are those disturbing situations they usually meet.

Inject hot water from water heater.

Lift the pot on to the stove and continue to heat the water.

Heat the water until it reaches the specific temperature that depends on different type of tea.

P E TA L CAN

" Compress the trash to reduce the use of plastic bags. "

This idea is inspired by a normal daily activity, "Dealing with our trash". Trash can could be filled up quickly if we don't compress them. Since most people are not willing to compress the trash with their bare hands, so they just tie up the trash bag which seems full. But actually there is still a lot space that can accomodate more trash. So I designed a trash can that can be compressed by foot or hand with its soft rubber material. And it will be easier to be pressed with the cracks, which is like a petal.

When the trash can is full, it is actually still loose. By compressing it, the trash become more condensed. More spaces are released, more trash can be accomodated. Less consumption of plastic bags.

ECO-UNFRIENDLY Since people are not willing to compress the touch by hands or grab another tools, they usually pack up trash bag when the it SEEMS FULL, but actually LOOSE, which leads to plastic bag WASTE.

HARD TO PACK Usually when we're going to pack up the trash bag, they are over load. Since then, it's hard to pack up the trash, moreover, our hands get touch easily with the trash, which we may not expect.

HIGH FREQUENCY Since we are not willing to compress the trash by hands, the trash can easily be filled up. So the frequency of packing up the trash bag will be pretty much, which might be quite annoying in our life.

PHONIXFIGHTER " Wish firefighter to act like phonix. "

This work is about combining one of career who has high frequency of flashlight and using bionic form as its appearance. The target user we chose was FIRE FIGHTER. After the visit with fire fighter, we know more about the situation they will meet, and try to find the attribute that represent the spirit of this great career. By trying all kind of different creature of form, PHONIX is the one that most corresponds to the spirit of firefighter.

" Build up the warmth between writers and words "

In this work, I tried to experiement some special material which is rarely applied in funtain pen. Cement,with abundance of attributes, is one of the material that has always attracted to me. The texture is smooth with a bit rough. The small bubbles randomly emerge on the surface. The temperature it delivers to writer's hand is also comfortable. The weight of it is a bit heavy, which seems to make every word more valuable.

The process of making this pen was really tough. Cement is quite a fragile material so it's hard to control while molding. Moreover, it takes a long time until the water evaporating. I failed thousands of times to make each part of the pen since it broke easily. I could just trust myself and kept trying. Finally, I made it.

P roce s s

1 Deploy In order to make out a texture that is stong enough for the usability of pen, I've tried many different ingridents and proportion to deploy the cement. I've asked many people who have been successful in deploy a perfect cement, they told me to add some "White plastic glue" or "Plaster", which might build up a stronger durability. After many experiements, it still failed. I then tried buying another cement and add only water to deploy it. And finally it worked!

2 Soap carving The reason to choose "Soap" as the negative mold of the pen body is because its hardness is just appropriate for the carving. Soap can easily be formed and it's also a cheap mterial.

3 Filling capacity It's the final step to make out of the pen, which is also the most difficult one. The method of how to eject mold is quite hard. You have to make sure the gate won't be to obvious or the quality of its surface.

Sillicone mold The reason to choose "Soap" as the negative mold of the pen body is because its hardness is just appropriate for the carving. Soap can easily be formed and it's also a cheap mterial.

Plaster mold Why I choose plaster as the mold is due to its "Permeability". Since cement contains a lot of water, it required good aborbility to the water. I've made "8" plaster molds in a day, but the outcome isn't so good. Most of them were failed, since it was easily producing bubbles during the process. Afterall, I still learn some experiences like ejecting mold into 2 directions.

E ngineer The "Hollow Qube" is what I thought the spotlight of this pen. To make such hollow form by metal is actually a bit challenging for me. Luckily, a friend of my dad owns the technique,which is called Wire Electrical Discharging (WED), helped forming this qube .

U s er The user was actually a stranger who I met at a coffeshop. At first, I asked her if she could be my model to hold the pen, to feel whether it's comfortable .

The girl said, " It's quite comfortable to hold the pen, while I first assum the metal part might be too hard." "Would you put it into mass production?" "I would like to take some pictures of

Nowadays, more and more fake foods are engaged in our life. People easily choose those "unreal food" instead of natural one. So, in this project, we've done many experiments. We try to demonstrate the essense of food which we've might never noticed, and how beautiful these true foods are. We try to aware people to eat real food, and cherisch them.

Wind, which has no certain form, make me think of the process of purchasing our dream. Wind can be either strong or soft. Everyone has their own, specific wind. Someone's wind spiral near the ground, where they are just about to set the sail. Someone's wind has already asended to the sky, where they are just carrying on their dream.

METALISM " Experiment different views of material, present variety of characters"

It's a project of one material presented in 4 different forms with 4 characters. I've always loved metal by its solid attruibute, so I decided to make some TRICK on it. It was interesting for me to discover different kinds of metal, especailly when I was a freshman. Not only using different material, I also tried some physical experiments such as beating and wrenching.
