Volcano espresso machine eruption
Vertical product animation of a volcano-shaped espresso machine erupting and pouring. Copy the prompt into Claude and put your own brand on it.
A black basalt espresso machine shaped like a small volcano sits on marble with orange glaze dripping from its crater. One camera flies round it: beans tumble in, a cutaway shows the magma core, the crater erupts as the gauge hits its mark, espresso pours and the crema settles. The hero line and number land last.
Change the brand name, the hero line, the pressure figure and its unit, the glaze and magma colour, the number colour and the basalt body colour. The 9:16 frame suits TikTok, Reels and Shorts ads for coffee brands, kitchen appliances or any product with a headline number.

What happens, beat by beat
- 0 to 1.6 s, establishing. Three-quarter view from front-left, slowly orbiting. An idle wisp leaves the crater, the glaze seams breathe, needle near 1.
- 2.4 to 3.6 s, crater from above (about 60 degrees down). About 46 beans fall in a staggered stream, spinning. A third settle in the bowl on a golden-angle spiral, slerping onto the slope with a…
- 4.4 to 5.6 s, cutaway, low side view. A quadrant opens (4.0 to 4.6 s) as one hot cut face sweeps 90 degrees round, revealing a copper boiler, a copper coil and a pulsing magma core…
- 6.4 to 7.7 s, eruption. Whole cone, crater about 45% down the frame, plume filling the top. The needle labours up, then slams past the mark at 7.46 s and settles: about 120 ember sparks, a…
- 8.15 to 9.6 s, the pour, side-on and close. The stream starts at 7.75 s so it is already falling on arrival. The level rises; tan crema spreads from the impact point.
- 10.4 to 11.6 s, straight down into the cup. The crema swirl unwinds into a little volcano island with contour rings.
- 12.4 to 16 s, hero. Lower and closer than beat 1, a 7-degree orbit with a push-in, lens shifted so the machine sits low. The plume leans right and fades before the headline. The glaze ends…
Materials and shaders
- Lava glaze. A mask from 16 drips round the lip, antialiased with fwidth. Inside: near-black crust plates split by thin glowing seams (ridges of warped 3D noise, stretched vertically to…
- Basalt below: speckled body colour with a pored bump map.
- Cutaway without extra geometry. Two clipping planes remove the wedge; back faces seen through the gap are ray-traced to the cut planes and shaded as a flat stone cap with…
- Magma core: domain-warped fbm cracks, a pulse, a fresnel rim.
- Stream: a necked, wobbling tube with amber "tiger" stripes over a deep brown core. No hot spot.
How the prompt opens
Make a silent 16-second, 9:16 (1080x1920, 30 fps) product film in Three.js. A black basalt espresso machine shaped like a small volcano, with molten-orange glaze dripping from its crater, sits on a marble counter. One unbroken camera flies round it through seven framings: beans tumble into the crater, a cutaway reveals a glowing magma core, the crater erupts steam and sparks as the gauge slams to its mark, espresso pours into a glass cup, the crema settles into a tiny volcano island, and a hero shot lands [your hero line, e.g. "Erupts at"] [your number + unit, e.g. "9 bar."]. The brand is an invented example (e.g. an espresso machine called Magma); swap in [your brand name], your own copy…
