BLACK EAGLE MAVERICK, innovation inspires genius

/in /by

Perhaps the most startling innovation is that it allows the barista to switch from espresso to Pure Brew coffee at the touch of a button, that’s genius, but only scratching the surface. Putting it another way, if the Black Eagle VA388 changed the way Barista’s work, the Black Eagle Maverick changes the way they think.

To get the Black Eagle Maverick off the page, we had to go right back to basics, at the birthplace of a concept. Inspired by a collision of technological innovation and the maverick’s refusal to conform to accepted practice, Black Eagle’s Maverick has transformed the way we think about making coffee.

We had to come up with new technology. The Black Eagle Maverick couldn’t just be beautiful to look at, with its sleek profile and new Group head display, it needed to be clever within too. When we came up with our T3 Genius and PureBrew technology, the former developed to provide the barista with absolute control over the bean, the latter a revolutionary, extraction method to release the purest flavour from the brew and to offer the Pure Brew Coffee a totally new filtered coffee, we knew we were on to a winner.

In addition to beauty and intelligence, we also wanted our new Black Eagle Maverick creation to be both sustainable and powerful. The Black Eagle Maverick uses 37% less energy than the previous model, for example, yet the wand produces 2.1 bar of dry, high-quality steam. We used fewer, more sustainable materials in the construction of the Black Eagle Maverick and our game-changing creation literally recycles its own energy. That’s got to be better for the planet and better for your business, all for a considerably better cup of perfectly delicious coffee.

“I use a coffee machine as a tool to deliver potential out of the bean. The Black Eagle Maverick offers me the flexibility to bring out the best”

MYTHOS. The grinding perfection again.

/in /by

The Mythos grinder has been upgraded and has increased the precision and control of the grinding to enable all baristas, roasteries and chains, that have already appreciated its performance, design and attention to sustainability, to reach a new level of perfection.

In 2013, when it was first launched onto the market, Mythos quickly established itself for its iconic design, high quality standards and waste reduction. Today, Mythos, strengthened by the values of Victoria Arduino, reaffirms itself as the grinder that is able, once again, to reach grinding perfection with significant improvements from the perspective of user experience, grind control and design.

The improvements introduced into the new Mythos all involve user experience and control over the grind, and they inspired the design. The iconic lines of Mythos embrace the integrated touchscreen display in a glass panel. The fans, with a new contemporary design, are both positioned at the rear to allow for perfect airflow inside the machine and to reduce the space on the counter when using several grinders.

With its 4 different versions, Mythos has created a full system of grinding excellence and perfection. All have rigorously the same design and the same iconic lines. The Mythos ecosystem comes in the 75mm (MY75) and 85mm (MY85) versions with the option of integrating gravimetric technology (MYG75 and MYG85).

Today, Mythos defines a world of detail, but with a unique design, and the same passion and strong values shared with the baristas, roasteries and chains throughout the world, to reach grinding perfection once again.

For the launch of Mythos, Victoria Arduino wanted to give a voice to various professionals from around the world who share the same values and the same passion, and who every day are devoted to the spread of quality coffee.  The result is a manifesto in which many different voices express passion for their work, their commitment to respecting people and the environment, attention to detail, use of technology and design to offer constantly improved results. And, lastly, working together to reach a new level of grinding perfection.

ADI Design Index 2020. Eagle One on stage at the Casa dell’Architettura in Rome.

/in /by

Following the exhibition at the ADI Design Museum in Milan, Eagle One flew to Rome to the Casa dell’Architettura (Architecture House) – Acquario Romano for a new exhibition showing a significant choice of products selected for the ADI Design Index, the annual review of the best Italian design.

Eagle One by Victoria Arduino has been selected for the prestigious ADI Design Index 2020 recognition. The ADI Design Index 2020 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 choice of the Roman location is very significant: the “Casa dell’Architettura” (Architecture House) is a new important cultural and exhibition institution, with the objective of promoting the Roman architectural culture and contemporary architecture in general, through national and international exhibitions, awards, conferences, meetings and initiatives.

The ADI Design Index 2020 exhibition will be open until 2 July at the Casa dell’Architettura in Rome, Piazza Manfredo Fanti 47.

Black Eagle enters the Forbidden City

Interconnections between design, technology and millennial Chinese culture.

Chinese culture and the consumption of coffee in China are rapidly growing at a rate of 30% a year (read full article). Nowadays in China, coffee-drinking has become commonplace, but its association with a high-value product has not changed and it is supported by ever-more innovative technology.

This is the case for the “Cafè by the Forbidden City”, a coffee shop that opened just over two years ago which is found in a special and inspiring place, the Museum of Shenwu Men Palace (Gate of Divine Prowess) in Beijing. For some months now, the coffee shop has been preparing drinks using a special VA388 Black Eagle in copper in a setting that allows guests to experience and appreciate Chinese culture as part of a visit to the Shenwu Men Palace.

The interior of the café contains a great deal of wooden furniture with floors in grey slate and walls that are decorated in wallpaper showing the Map of Qian Li Jiang Shan (千里 江山 图). The ceiling beams are draped in tapestries inspired by the works in the Palace Museum. The presence of a technological product that adapts to the materials and colours of the atmosphere of the surroundings thus also becomes a message of the evolution of coffee culture in China.

This is how countries and regions, faced with new challenges, with their knowledge and skills, take on a new social, cultural and productive importance, and they become interconnected. In this way, design and technology participate in the interaction between local and global in the name of coffee.
