Now you can pimp your espresso machine (Krups models, Cube, Siemens, Magimix) if you get tired of the same old look. For about 9 euros (about $14) you can change the skin of the coffee machine to one that's more fun to look at. I'm at a loss for words. What do I care what the espresso machine looks like? But then again, I don't drink coffee so I can't understand the plight and enormous suffering of coffee drinkers who have to look at the same coffee machine every day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Customization:** The trend of customization allows consumers to personalize and change the appearance of their appliances, providing opportunities for businesses to offer personalized skin options for various products. - **Self-expression:** The trend of self-expression through products leads to the demand for customized skins for appliances, creating opportunities for companies to offer unique designs and artistic expressions. - **Visual Appeal:** The trend of focusing on visual aesthetics encourages consumers to enhance the appearance of their appliances, presenting opportunities for companies to provide visually appealing and attractive skin options. ### Where This Applies - **Appliance Manufacturing:** The appliance manufacturing industry can capitalize on the customization trend by offering a variety of removable skins for their products, allowing customers to personalize their purchases. - **Graphic Design:** The graphic design industry can leverage the demand for unique and artistic appliance skins by providing customizable design options that cater to the individual preferences of consumers. - **E-commerce:** The e-commerce industry can tap into the trend of customization and self-expression by creating online platforms or marketplaces dedicated to selling a wide range of appliance skins, providing consumers with a vast selection of options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Harmonious Furniture-Inspired Espresso Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origin-espresso-machine.md) - [Steampunk Aesthetic Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steampunk-espresso-machine.md) - [Barista-Inspired Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meticulous-espresso.md) - [Coffee-Branded Espresso Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delonghi-la-specialista-arte-truestart-edition.md) - [Modernist Toy-Like Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espresso-machine-concept.md) - [Old-Fashioned Espresso Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-modern-espresso-machine.md) - [Luxe Low-Power Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automatic-espresso-machine-and-frother.md) - [Elevated Coffee Machine Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espresso-collection.md) - [Colorful Box-Like Coffee Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-coffee-machine.md)
