Gold prize – students
Michele Seghizzi, with the Ova project. Ova is a coffee machine for domestic use, at first glance similar to other coffee machines. However, the water tank contains zeolite, a stone of volcanic origin that heats water quickly without the use of cables or electrical sockets. The water descends from the tank, comes into contact with zeolite and quickly reaches the temperature required to brew coffee.
