[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Home appliances that can create interior effects are gaining attention.
According to industry sources on the 24th, home coffee machines are considered essential kitchen appliances amid the home cafe trend. The Barista Pro BES878 from the Australian premium appliance brand Breville applies Breville’s unique stainless steel and adds a digital sensibility, earning the honor of winning two global design awards. It won the Red Dot Design Award 2019 and Good Design Australia 2019. Equipped with an LCD display that enhances user convenience compared to the best-selling Barista Express BES870, it has gained popularity immediately after its release.
One of the reasons for its popularity is the technology that enables professional-level taste. The Barista Pro BES878 heats up in just 3 seconds, allowing quick espresso extraction. This is due to Breville’s innovative ‘ThermoJet Heating System,’ which adds a warming plate under the boiler pipes to improve heat conduction and retention efficiency. Using a stainless steel conical burr (cone-shaped blade), it offers 30 levels of precise grind adjustment, allowing users to grind coffee beans to their preferred coarseness?from espresso to French press and drip?enjoying a perfect cup of coffee tailored to individual taste.
LG Electronics recently introduced the wireless private screen LG StanbyME, which won one of the world’s top three design awards with its moving stand design, different from conventional TVs.
LG StanbyME’s mobility is also a major advantage. It can be moved and used anywhere such as the bedroom, kitchen, or study, and can be used wirelessly for up to 3 hours without power connection. Equipped with a touchscreen, its simple operation by tapping the screen like a smartphone targets those familiar with tablets as a ‘personal screen.’ When used from a distance, it can also be operated with a remote control.
Samsung Electronics’ ‘Bespoke Slim’ attracts attention as a product that combines both design and technology, winning a silver award at IDEA 2021 with its simple design. Bespoke Slim was newly designed from core components to accessories to create a design that fits any space, while significantly improving cleaning performance. In particular, it features a ‘self-standing’ structure that allows it to stand upright without a separate stand. This makes storage easy without space constraints and convenient to stand upright immediately if something urgent arises during cleaning.
