This coffee maker called the WMF 1 from German appliance giant WMF, brews coffee in a [pod-like container](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xpod) with enough coffee and water for one person. The WMF 1 comes in green, yellow, red and grey and even though I dislike coffee, my favorite is the green one. The WMF 1 uses a [coffee pod](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-pod-maker) to brew a cup of coffee in less than a minute -- perfect for busy mornings. **Implications** - Modern consumers love their coffee, but many don't have the time or disposable income to head to the local coffee shop.
