Stackable Porcelain Coffee Makers

This Compact and Smart Coffee Maker Needs No Electricity

— July 23, 2013 — Art & Design
The FARO by Japanese design studio Kinto is a smart coffee maker that uses no electricity. Compactly shaped with a stainless steel filter and white porcelain finishing, this coffee maker drips coffee quietly, anytime anywhere. The word FARO is Italian for ‘lighthouse,’ a fitting name for the white cylindrical design.

The FARO’s clever design is eco-conscious; this coffee maker saves electricity because it functions without being plugged in. The design also has an environmentally friendly angle. Since the FARO does not use paper filters, it reduces paper waste. The reusable filter is ideal for offices so that you’ll be able to have your own personal coffee maker at your desk. The FARO also has a matching coffee pot that stacks perfectly with it.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Coffee Makers - The FARO's design creates an opportunity for eco-conscious, electricity-free, and quiet caffeine brewing options.
2. Reusable Filters - The reusable filter in the FARO has the potential to decrease paper waste and create opportunities for other eco-friendly products.
3. Stackable Kitchenware - Designs similar to FARO that stack and are compact can create minimalistic and efficient kitchen spaces.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchenware - There is innovation opportunity for the creation of more designs of stackable and eco-friendly kitchenware.
2. Office Products - Eco-friendly designs like FARO's brings innovation to coffee-making products that can be used without the need for electricity in office settings.
3. Eco-friendly Products - Sustainable designs like FARO's could motivate the development of other products with reusable filters or similar eco-conscious angles.
