Christoph Meyl, who lives in Munich, Germany, is developing a palm-sized espresso maker, Piamo, which can extract espresso in a microwave oven. Currently, the fundraising site Startnext is looking for investors.

Piamo is an espresso maker that can extract espresso for one person in a microwave oven. It is a small palm-sized device that consists of a "Filter" section that holds ground coffee beans and a "Water Chamber" section that holds water.




Set water and ground coffee beans in Piamo, place on a cup and heat in the microwave. Then, the water boils and steam is generated. It is a mechanism to extract espresso using the high pressure of this water vapor.




According to Meyl, Piamo allows you to drink freshly brewed espresso in just 30 seconds. It's also dishwasher-washable after use, making it much easier to clean than traditional espresso makers.


Piamo says that various color variations are also available. I want you to succeed in raising funds and realize commercialization.
