Coffee maker The purpose is not beauty. I had to tell myself this when I looked at Arke’s new drip coffee machine because the Aarke coffee system is beautiful. This fact can distract me from other important things.
Aarke is Swedish, designed by Swedish people from the Swedish modernist design tradition. But it looks a bit like a complete Turkish tea service that has been reimagined as a shiny new gas plant. It fills me with a life I don’t lead: functional, clean, and free from the chaos of a world marked by trivial disappointment.
Including flat grinders, the entire system costs $700 north, which is probably the price of this life span. Aarke is part of the quiet Renaissance of Drip Brewers, drip beer has long been espresso and dumped in the luxury world. But the next generation of machines is designed to elevate home drip coffee games to a true connoisseur, with minimal effort to exude the most refined flavor from quality beans.

Arak now has only a few dozen winemakers Certified by the International Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) is able to maintain great accuracy in every particular aspect: temperature, brewing time, coffee extraction, and possible heart purity. The number of certified manufacturers has doubled over the past six decades. But Aarke has a shiny stainless steel look and modern industrial minimalism, probably the most bizarre looking bunch.
Under its flashy reflective appearance, some very interesting engineering is underway. AARKE also offers a different ability than any drip coffee setup I’ve tested: It promises to use a sensor to grind the exact number of fresh coffee beans that measure any random amount of water measurements you’ll be clear with your bare hands. wild! We will introduce it in detail later.
So shiny, so chrome-plated
On the most basic level, Aarke is a well-designed coffee maker that looks like The company’s most famous carbonization system. Regardless of its complex sensors, it requires the energy to learn. Feel old-fashioned. At 15 inches tall it is not small, but its weight can also be described as sturdy. Aarke also has phones that people like to call “tactile.” The brew basket slides in with satisfying mechanical clumsiness, and even the equipment’s sole buttons have pleasant resistance.
When you pour water, the tank will respond subtly in blue. This is Aarke’s cautious way of saying hello every morning. There is no beeping anywhere, no wear or brewing noise. To start brewing, just add the proper ground coffee to the standard No. 4 conical filter in the basket. Then, press the button.
Press the button quickly and it will brew like a standard drip coffee machine. Press for three seconds until the light turns on, which will first get away by wetting the coffee and waiting for the trapped carbon dioxide to escape from the fresh beans.
