Prototyping
Thus we gathered data in the first iteration we know the peak times and we can determine the coffee machine when to heat up according to usage profiles. The coffee machine also can brew your preferred coffee according to the time you stand infront of the coffee machine - in the morning or in the afternoon. You can adjust your personalized coffee whenever you want.
Mock up
The user can use any cup. We put an smart device next to the coffee machine that identifies the face of the user when he stands infront of the coffee machine. Once the iphone identifies the user it displays the coffee profile. According to the time the coffee machine brews your preferred coffee. In addition, the coffee machine heats up before the peak time to avoid queues.
To select the personal coffee users can go to the Brewbot Portal and adjust the preferred coffee and time.

In this step, our Mission is to find out whether this approach solves the problem. We built the mock up. For this we needed the following:
- Brewbot Portal
- Coffee machine
- Smart Device with a face scanner
These are our second drafts:

After we built the mock up we demonstrated the mock up to different test users and let them try. We noted their feedback and modified the mock up. The modification included no additional feature, but little changes like where to locate the camera.
Finally, we find out that this approch solves the problem.
