We keep the complexity in the design\u2014so your coffee routine stays simple.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re excited to share that the Solright DB-1 Manual Coffee Grinder<\/strong> has won the 2026 iF DESIGN AWARD<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To us, this isn\u2019t just a trophy.
\nIt\u2019s a meaningful recognition of what we\u2019ve believed from day one\u2014
\ndesign should start with the user and make everyday coffee simpler.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

What does the iF DESIGN AWARD mean?<\/h3>\n

The iF DESIGN AWARD is one of the world\u2019s most respected design honors, with a history of more than 70 years. Each year, it attracts outstanding entries from around the globe.<\/p>\n

In 2026, the competition was especially strong, with over 10,000 submissions<\/strong> worldwide. Being selected among them is a milestone we truly value\u2014because it reflects not only aesthetics, but also user experience, innovation, and real-world usability.<\/p>\n

Where DB-1 began: fixing the \u201cdaily friction\u201d of grinding<\/h3>\n

Many people love coffee brewing for its calm, ritual-like feeling.
\nBut grinding beans can easily become the part that feels inconvenient\u2014or even discouraging.<\/p>\n

When we started developing DB-1, we kept coming back to a few simple questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Why do some grinders feel tiring to use?<\/li>\n
  • Why is grind adjustment often confusing or difficult to repeat?<\/li>\n
  • Why do high-end grinders sometimes feel more complicated than helpful?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    So we returned to the most important point:
    \nWhat do users actually need\u2014every single day?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Not more complexity.
    \nBut more clarity. More comfort. More confidence.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \n

    The design core of DB-1: smooth, intuitive, and stable<\/h3>\n

    1) Quick-release structure design<\/strong>
    \nWe simplified the grinder\u2019s internal structure and optimized its balance, allowing brewing and cleaning to become easier and more intuitive with every use.<\/p>\n

    2) Intuitive grind adjustment<\/strong>
    \nA clear and easy-to-understand adjustment system allows users to quickly find the right grind size for different brewing methods\u2014and easily recreate their preferred flavor profile every time.<\/p>\n

    3) A form that blends into everyday life<\/strong>
    \nWe designed DB-1 not just as a tool, but as an object that naturally fits into your living space\u2014something you\u2019ll enjoy seeing and using every day.<\/p>\n

    Great design shouldn\u2019t only exist on an award stage.
    \nIt should exist in your everyday coffee moments.<\/p>\n

    Designed and made in Taiwan<\/h3>\n

    From concept to manufacturing, DB-1 is designed and made in Taiwan.<\/p>\n

    We believe Taiwan has the capability to create products that combine precision engineering with thoughtful design.
    \nThis award is another step in making that strength visible on the global stage.<\/p>\n

    \n

    This is not the finish line<\/h3>\n

    For us, the iF DESIGN AWARD is not just a proud achievement.
    \nIt\u2019s a reminder that when design truly begins with the user and details are carefully refined, the world notices.<\/p>\n

    At Solright, we will continue focusing on one simple mission:
    \nUsing design to make coffee life easier.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re looking for a high-end manual grinder that feels smooth, intuitive, and built to last\u2014
    \nSolright DB-1 is made for you.<\/p>\n

    Make grinding no longer a chore, but the most anticipated step before enjoying your coffee. \u2615<\/p>\n
