# Wood Block Brewers The Canadiano Coffee Maker Comprises a Mug and a Minimalist Lumber Funnel By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-12-03 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadiano-coffee-maker References: [designspotter](http://www.designspotter.com/product/2013/11/Canadiano.html) & [fishtnk](http://www.fishtnk.com/fish/category/product-design/) Sometimes it seems as though popular design has split into two divergent tracks, impressing consumers with either cutting-edge capabilities or rudimentary charm. The Canadiano Coffee Maker undoubtedly falls into that second category, offering one the means to make a cup of Joe with just a [simple wooden apparatus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singlecup-coffee-maker). Mani Mani of Canada designed this [minimalist product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byd-espresso-machine) and Fishtnk Design Factory manufactures it. Each item comes in a natural wood grain finish with a protective coating, exuding the beautiful color an textural qualities of the cherry, walnut or maple timber. A large circular hole has been cut into one side, narrowing into a small cluster of 16 tiny perforations. Set the Canadiano Coffee Maker on top of a coffee cup and filter your ground coffee beans right into your mug. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Minimalist Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore how minimalist design principles can be applied to other everyday products to simplify and enhance user experiences. - **Natural Materials:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Investigate alternative sustainable materials that can be used in the manufacturing of various consumer goods, reducing environmental impact. - **Handcrafted Products:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a marketplace or platform that connects consumers with small-scale artisans who create unique handcrafted products with a focus on quality and craftsmanship. ### Where This Applies - **Home Goods:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate smart technology into home goods to enhance functionality and convenience for consumers. - **Kitchenware:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Look for ways to incorporate sustainable and eco-friendly materials into kitchenware products, providing a more sustainable option for consumers. - **Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore automated manufacturing processes that can produce high-quality products with minimal waste and environmental impact. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Character Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-moky.md) - [Tranquil Design Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenbrew-coffee-maker.md) - [Flatpack Outdoor Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutek-collapsible-pour-over.md) - [Computer-Inspired Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-drip.md) - [Single-Cup Workstation Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewster-dcm5000.md) - [Designer Drip Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fellow-aiden.md) - [Stacking Mobile Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allinone-coffee-grinder.md) - [Angled Immersion Coffee Brewer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oblic-dropper.md) - [Organically Curvaceous Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-coffee-machine.md)
