Design Approach
Through testing various existing garlic presses, we identified a key pain point: cleaning trapped garlic remnants. The small holes often retained pieces of garlic, making the cleaning process slow and frustrating.Many products on the market attempted to address this with detachable plastic parts, but these components were easily misplaced, adding more inconvenience. This insight guided us to focus on an integrated, long-lasting solution.
