Seymourpowell Designs the New COMPACT Machine for Coffee NationSeymourpowell has designed the new fascia and interface of COMPACT, a brand-new self-serve coffee machine aimed at the convenience sector for client Coffee Nation, the UK's leading gourmet vended speciality coffee company.
COMPACT is set to launch at the 2008 Convenience Retail Show in Birmingham in April 2008
As a complimentary addition to Coffee Nation's existing portfolio, which is currently available in over 550 motorway, petrol forecourt and convenience stores across the country, the COMPACT is an ideal solution for grocery; convenience and forecourt stores wanting to build a profitable, fresh coffee business.
COMPACT is set to be the star of the show at CRS with its sleek fascia and simple user interface, delivering customers fresh Latte, Cappuccino and Americano, Mocha and Hot Chocolate.
The average Coffee Nation site generates sales of £40,000, whilst its top performing site makes over £400,000.
From just one metre of floor space, the COMPACT is set to maximize valuable retail space in convenience stores and create a profitable 24 hour coffee business, delivering real gourmet coffee in less than a minute.
Matthew Tidnam, Senior Designer at Seymourpowell, commented: "Our biggest challenge on this project was to design a left-to-right consumer interface with this project within a small product architecture with a central dispense unit.
