# Barista-Locating Apps Coffee Shot Connects Users to an At Home Barista for a Custom Cup of Coffee By Alyson Wyers | Published 2016-04-02 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-home-barista References: [springwise](http://www.springwise.com/app-links-coffee-lovers-on-demand-baristas/) & [coffeeshots.nl](http://www.coffeeshots.nl/) This on-demand coffee service informs you of a nearby at home barista so you can enjoy a cup of hot joe together. Based in the Netherlands, the Coffee Shots app lets thirsty coffee lovers in need of a caffeine fix search for local baristas (also referred to as 'Coffee Shooters'). The listed coffee shooters will have profiles containing further details related to their skills and specialties, as well as reviews from their customers. The at home baristas will also let people know how much they pay the coffee farmer in the name of increased transparency. App users can then book an appointment. Coffee shooters can also review customer profiles before accepting. If both parties accept, the customer will come to the barista's home for a brew and will be able to pay through the app. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **On-demand Coffee Services:** Create an app that connects coffee enthusiasts with local baristas for a personalized coffee experience. - **At-home Barista Platforms:** Develop a platform where freelance baristas can showcase their skills, specialties, and customer reviews and connect with customers. - **Transparency in Coffee Farming:** Build a system that allows baristas to disclose how much they pay coffee farmers, promoting transparency in the industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food & Beverage:** Explore new opportunities in the food and beverage industry by leveraging technology to connect customers with personalized coffee experiences. - **Hospitality & Tourism:** Integrate the concept of at-home baristas into the hospitality and tourism industry to offer unique and personalized coffee experiences to guests. - **Agriculture & Sustainability:** Address the need for transparency and sustainability in the coffee industry by developing innovative systems that allow baristas to disclose their financial contributions to coffee farmers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Coffee Documenting Notes Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-notes1.md) - [Coffee Tasting Journals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-note.md) - [App-Connected Pod Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kcaf-smart-coffee-machine.md) - [Smartphone-Connected Coffee Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connected-coffee-machine.md) - [Automated Barista Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breville-oracle-jet.md) - [Coffeehouse Mini Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philz-coffee-app-clip.md) - [Hyper-Personalized Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-free-coffee.md) - [Community Coffee Recipe Sharing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffeepedia.md) - [Coffee Brewing Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffy-guides.md)
