KUKU Maker: Take Control Of Your Coffee Taste

Espresso machines have long been synonymous with barriers: costly brew heads, frequent maintenance, fixed extraction parameters that even seasoned baristas can only fine-tune within. For home users chasing the edge of coffee flavor, the first step alone is often a dealbreaker. KUKU Maker from KUKU_HUB takes another path: the world's first coffee machine with centrifugal circulating extraction. A high-precision inductive brushless motor generates extraction pressure via centrifugal force, keeping it stable throughout for rich, fine crema. Pressure, temperature, time and grind size are all independently adjustable and decoupled — from superfine to extra coarse, the same beans yield a flavor spectrum from tangy to sweet. Electromagnetic induction heating gets 60ml of water ready in under 50 seconds, and ice water works directly for cold brew. With no complex brew head, about 100ml of water auto-cleans the machine in 20 seconds; the app customizes pressure curves, saves templates, and downloads barista-shared recipes. Espresso, cold brew and pour-over — all in one machine. The project launched on Kickstarter in January 2024, drawing 1,370 backers and about HK$8.09M (≈ $1.03M), roughly 8,086% of its goal.
