# NFC Token Coffee Makers The 'Coffee Composer' Creates Custom Drinks in an Interactive Way By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-07-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-composer References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2019/07/08/coffee-composer-lets-you-build-your-coffee-by-stacking-ingredient-tokens/) & [xinyue.de](http://xinyue.de/) The conceptual 'Coffee Composer' is an interactive appliance for beverage brewing that will provide users with a futuristic way to create their very own drink. Designed by Xinyue Yang and Antonia Nandori, the system works by having users stack different near-field communication (NFC) tokens to create a beverage; for example, a milk token, espresso token and foam token for a cappuccino. The tokens are then position onto the top of the appliance to start the [brewing process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-terra-kaffe-tk02) and will elegantly craft drinks in an almost orchestrally inspired manner that is a delight to watch. The conceptual 'Coffee Composer' works with a [wireless payment system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-beverage-machine) to let users simply tap a card to pay for their drink, which further increases the autonomous nature of the appliance. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Beverage Brewing:** The 'Coffee Composer' uses NFC tokens to create a custom beverage in an interactive way, presenting an opportunity to disrupt traditional coffee brewing methods. - **Autonomous Coffee Appliance:** The wireless payment system in the 'Coffee Composer' makes it an autonomous appliance, presenting an opportunity to disrupt brick-and-mortar coffee shops. - **Orchestrally-inspired Drink Crafting:** The 'Coffee Composer' elegantly crafts drinks in an almost orchestrally-inspired manner, presenting an opportunity to disrupt traditional barista craftmanship. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Appliance Manufacturing:** Companies in the consumer appliance manufacturing industry can capitalize on the opportunity presented by the 'Coffee Composer' to create similar interactive appliances. - **Coffee Shop Industry:** The 'Coffee Composer's autonomous nature presents an opportunity for coffee shops to incorporate similar technology and enhance the customer experience. - **NFC Technology Industry:** The use of NFC tokens in the 'Coffee Composer' presents an opportunity for companies in the NFC technology industry to explore other possible applications for their technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smartphone-Connected Coffee Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connected-coffee-machine.md) - [Intuitive Cafe-Inspired Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-specialty-coffee-maker.md) - [Speaker-Like Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-capsule-coffee-machine.md) - [Single-Cup Workstation Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewster-dcm5000.md) - [Gaming Console Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nintendo-fp-coffee-machine.md) - [Portable Digitized Coffee Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewster-coffee-machine.md) - [Automated Barista Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siemens-eq900-beanident-system.md) - [Character Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-moky.md) - [Computer-Inspired Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-drip.md)
