Overview
People rely on coffee to boost their energy for work. However, excessive caffeine consumption can also have health impacts. The Traco app helps users track and record their drinking habits, providing real-time feedback. This enables users to control their unhealthy drinking habits more effectively.
Sketching Scope
Scope of the Project
My project aims to address the issue of excessive coffee consumption among heavy coffee drinkers and help them better control their coffee-drinking behaviors.
Research
Competitive Analysis
I downloaded and tested three products on the market. I discovered that Traco could fill a niche where users can manually input their daily caffeine intake and access real-time reports.
Affinity Diagram
I collected information from interviews and research, and then organized it into three categories using an Affinity Diagram.
01.
02.
How can we effectively remind users to manage and control their coffee consumption habits?
03.
How can we assist users in tracking and visualizing their daily caffeine intake over time
How can we help users collect accurate drinking data effortlessly?

Information Architecture
User scenario 1.
When users wake up in the morning, they pour their first cup of coffee into the Traco coffee bottle and take it to the office.
User scenario 2.
When users meet clients at a coffee store, they order coffee in a cup.
How to increase user accessibility when users are not able to carry a water bottle?
Iteration
1)Enhance instant feedback for a clear visual hierarchy.
2)Removed irrelevant nutrition facts.
3)Added detailed instructions on scanning coffee features to help users better understand its purpose.
1) Incorporating a tips/reminder feature will increase user engagement.
2) Set up an indicator to highlight specific data points.
1)I create illustrations to enhance the visual appeal of coffee types.
2) Move the 'Save/Add to Traco' button to the top for easy access, as all information will be auto-populated, allowing users to save it quickly without scrolling.
Final Deliverble
Check real time data and report data
Scan the coffee cup and measure the size. The shots and caffeine will be autogenerated
This project challenged me to balance creativity with practicality while designing an app that could potentially transform coffee drinkers' lives. I envision further refinement and eventual market launch for this product concept in the future.
