Want to have a flavor of a coffee in which the taste changes according to your heartbeat?

Heart-Beans let you do that. It is a coffee grinder that operates with the user’s heartbeats. Just hug and hold it near to your heart and your heartbeat will do the trick.

The unique design of this coffee grinder was created by the students for Food for Thought course at the Bezalel Academy for Arts and Crafts. The designers said that they want to make a statement on our present consumerism and consumption culture. According to them, “Consumerism is tempting us on a daily basis: more objects, food, cloths and other products, some of which are not necessary at all. We are exposed to endless commercial content and other media that shape our perspective of what we should be, look like, and buy. It would seem that with time, we develop certain numbness for the true needs of every person, and get carried away by the material world.”
