Abstract
In the industrial era 4.0, it is easy for companies to meet consumer needs quickly. One of the industries affected is the food and beverage industry, especially the coffee industry. To produce espresso quickly, companies need a tool, namely an espresso machine. However, the capacity of the existing portafilter is not enough to produce large amounts of espresso. The solution to this problem is to increase the capacity of the existing portafilter. The design of this portafilter uses the VDI 2221 and Reverse Engineering methods. This research uses a 1:2 scale as a standard. The espresso obtained increases as the mass of the powder increases. As the capacity increases, the pressure needs to be increased. The resulting waiting time in making espresso is roughly the same between the two portafilters. However, the total output produced is more than the portafilter before modification.
