Early in 2005 Craig Hiron approached Tiller Design asking a simple question, "Could a stove top coffee machine pull an espresso shot and texture milk at a level comparable to a professional espresso machine used in cafes?"Designer Michael Hoppe headed a team including a professor of thermal dynamics, Allan Wallace B.Tech (Mech), B.E.(Hons), PhD, FIEAust, CPEng.
Recognition for form and function include an Australian International Design Mark in 2008, and placed finalist in the International Design Excellence Awards (USA, 2009).
"Craig's focus for the project was clearly on the quality of coffee
and the results are in the cup." - Michael Hoppe
