Revolutionizing Coffee Making with IoT: Luminaire Coffee, La Marzocco and Altium

Luminaire Coffee, a Seattle-based startup, was driven by the mission to help baristas and coffee aficionados craft the perfect cup of coffee with efficiency and ease. They identified a gap in the coffee preparation sphere and sought to fill it with innovations such as shot timers, flow measuring scales, and a special heating device. Their efforts led to a partnership with La Marzocco, a renowned manufacturer of espresso machines. The challenge was to create the most intuitive, foolproof machines on the market, integrating Luminaire Coffee’s designs into the core of the Linea LB, La Marzocco’s most technologically advanced espresso machine. Luminaire Coffee needed to create next-generation electronics for the Linea PB, including its shot timer, temperature control functionality, flow pulse counter, and integrated scale. The challenge was to divide up work across the team so that multiple engineers could work on a single project at once, designing to different EMC and manufacturing standards.
