After Eagle One, E1 Prima by Victoria Arduino has been selected for ADI Design Index 2021. The Industrial Design Association made the announcement yesterday in Milan during an event at ADI Design Museum.
The ADI Design Index 2021 is a special selection, made by the Permanent Observatory of Design, that covers products and product systems in every market, theoretical and critical research and design-related processes or businesses. The ADI Design Index represents a preselection to Compasso d’Oro Award by ADI, the most prestigious industrial design award worldwide with the aim to enhance the value of italian design.

Why E1 Prima?

E1 Prima is a product representing and decoding a change in coffee consumption. Specialty products are more requested, prepared with high quality “gourmet” prime materials produced ethically and sustainably. Quality coffee is becoming a real lifestyle where people search for an exclusive coffee experience even outside the coffee shop, like food trucks, boutiques, offices, homes, and many other settings. E1 PRIMA is a versatile and eclectic coffee machine able to interpret the current trends and envision the future.

Coffee machines are not just serving tools, they also carry a real message, whose meaning expands to greater dimensions, that include an expression of the personality of the barista, roaster or coffee lover, a story, a life and tendency.

It’s very easy to customize by using different tones and natural materials like wood or technological materials like steel, resins and aluminium. That enables to express your own personality and vision through the coffee machine. E1 Prima thus becomes part of a story, a philosophy that changes with its surroundings. For his capacity to transform and create a message, the architect and ambassador of the excellence of Italian creativity in the world, Giulio Cappellini, created a special selection of “seasonal look” adding fresh new colors and textures that interpret the current trends. With many images for a unique idea of accessible glamour like a tailored dress or fashion accessory, PRIMA is available in many colours and exclusive editions.

Like in the Eagle One machine, E1 Prima by Victoria Arduino pinpointed a goal: designing a product where workflow comfort meets esthetical and functional qualities while continuing technological research and igniting innovative energy. The result is a perfect combination of esthetics and simplicity. Furthermore, it offers a sustainable design that fully considers the machine’s environmental impact in terms of economic and energy savings. NEO (New Engine Optimization) technology represents an intelligent approach of water heating and guarantees high performance while increasing energy efficiency. E1 Prima has been designed to be more compact, more performant, and more sustainable

With E1 PRIMA app barista and coffee lovers can set temperature, extraction time, steam and hot water together with the weekly programming. Moreover, the app can also create recipes, share them, or set those recipes proposed by the users’ dedicated roastery or barista. It can also become a recipe sharing device by going on the section ‘Cloud recipe’ of the Victoria Arduino app.
