Tekonolosi Gaosiga
The MokaMax utilizes a hybrid manufacturing approach: the primary chassis is CNC-machined from 304 food-grade stainless steel for high thermal mass and durability. Internal mechanical interfaces are precision injection-molded using heat-stabilized, BPA-free polymers. Functional touchpoints feature TPU overmolding for enhanced ergonomics in extreme climates. The unique ridged exterior is achieved through lathe-turning, finished with a scratch-resistant PVD coating for a rugged, Minimalist aesthetic.
Lu'itau o le Mamanu
The hardest part was coming up with a form that felt rugged enough to be taking on usual camping trip and hikes, while being minimal and aesthetic to be used inside a library without raising any eyebrows.
Su'esu'ega
MokaMax began by researching the gap between domestic coffee rituals and the wilderness. User interviews revealed a need for a mess free, sustainable brewer that wouldn't lose parts in the field. Using a modular, interlocking system, the final design ensures easy cleaning and rugged portability. Featuring an integrated hiker's rope and biodegradable pods, MokaMax combines a minimalist aesthetic with high utility performance for both the campsite and the classroom.
Fa'aosofia
Inspired by the Moka pot's iconic hourglass geometry, MokaMax translates the domestic coffee ritual into the wilderness. Research involved a competitive analysis of market leaders to design a rugged, modular extension for the portable brewing ecosystem. The project prioritizes durability through a unique interlocking architecture for ease of assembly. Motivated by sustainability and user centric ergonomics, the design integrates decomposable pods to ensure a low impact high utility experience.
Umi o le Poloketi
The Project was started in September 2024 in Washington, DC and ended in April, 2025 in Boston.
Fa'agasologa o Galuega
MokaMax reimagines the brewing process as a series of intuitive, tactile "clicks." Inspired by the simplicity of interlocking blocks, the three-part chassis snaps together to ensure no component is ever left behind. The interaction is a seamless transformation from a compact, rugged tool into a high-performance brewer. By housing a biodegradable pod within its ridged, easy-clean stainless steel shell, MokaMax delivers a sophisticated, zero-trace ritual for the modern explorer.
