At Spinn® we know your morning cup of coffee is much more than an early morning beverage. It’s a ritual, a moment of tranquility, a daily treat for your taste buds. With that in mind, we’ve created a coffee maker to make your day a little easier and your coffee a lot better. Using only beans, no pods, capsules or filters we’ve engineered a coffee maker that creates zero environmental waste and uses centrifugal force to brew your morning cup. Whether you prefer drip, french press or an espresso, Spinn® is the coffee maker youve been waiting for. Our pre-order campaign is launching soon, but you can learn more at spinn.com

Prozis is a powerhouse product developing company. Every day we make new products. That is only possible because we developed our own proprietary technology that ensures that we bring you high quality, beautiful and fair priced products. We endure in our philosophy of a 4.0 vertical process, manufacturing in our own facilities or with the help of our super partners. We do everything: idea, concept, design, manufacturing, quality control, marketing, sales, logistics, printing, distribution, client support, software development, photo, video, 3D and philosophy. We deliver wherever you are, whenever you want. We don’t compromise. We breathe technology, drink design and feed on our will to exceed ourselves making the best products in the world. This all starts in 2007 with a crazy guy in a garage that thinks he can change the world for the better. Right now, we are hundreds, going to thousands of crazy but focused people. Will is a skill. There is a lot of people that want to buy us out. We don’t have a F****** price tag. It’s not about the money. It’s about our mission. Trust us. We will feed your body and mind with everything you need to exceed yourself. miguel milhão

Concept keywords were: Feminine, Young, Modern, minimal, Subtle, Passion, Love, Imagination, Unique, Sophisticated Looking for a trendy-urban relaxed style in to it, the concepts target audience are primarily urban females between 16 and 34 years old. Spirito Cupcakes and Coffee was created in the summer of 2011. Three years after and more than 550 requests for franchise stores, Spirito launched its franchise system, opening our first store in Porto, in July 2014 and the second store one month later in Guimar찾es. Future plans include expanding into new locations in Portugal estimating a total of 16 to 20 stores in Portugal by the end of 2016. We will also start our international expansion to England, Spain and Brazil by mid 2015. We are on the look for master franchise partners in different markets One of our main concerns when expanding is to maintain the same quality of products as we are looking forward to set and extend this long-lasting partnerships with different suppliers that be considered the best in their product segments.
