# Aeronautics-Inspired Coffee Makers The 'Dot/Dot' Coffee Pod Machine Looks Worthy of the ISS By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-02-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-pod-machine References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/02/15/out-of-this-world-coffee/) The '[Dot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blu-dot-furniture-boat)/Dot' coffee pod machine is a conceptual product design that imagines a kitchen appliance that looks like it's prepared for implementation on the [International Space Station](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-reel-store) (ISS). Designed by Younggyu Kwon, the 'Dot/Dot' coffee machine mixes several style aesthetics including the look and shape of the planets with regard to the coffee pods and the look of a rocket ship regarding the actual appliance itself. The 'Dot/Dot' coffee pod machine features a touchscreen interface that is circular in design and that's implemented into the brewing head portion of the appliance. It comes as a response to brands like [Nespresso](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vehicle-coffee-machine) that are taking a more design-conscious approach to the products and technology that we use everyday in order to make it more appealing and aesthetically pleasing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 51% | 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) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Aeronautics-inspired Kitchen Appliances:** Opportunity for creating futuristic and visually appealing kitchen appliances inspired by aerospace design. - **Touchscreen Interfaces in Home Appliances:** Disruption opportunity for integrating touchscreen interfaces into various home appliances for improved user experience. - **Design-conscious Home Appliances:** Trend towards brands adopting design-focused approaches to create aesthetically pleasing home appliances. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchen Appliance Manufacturing:** Opportunity for kitchen appliance manufacturers to explore innovative designs inspired by aerospace aesthetics. - **Home Appliance Technology:** Disruption opportunity for integrating touchscreen interfaces into a wide range of home appliances. - **Consumer Goods Design:** Trend towards design-conscious consumer goods industry, with a focus on creating visually appealing products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Galatic-Inspired Coffee Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duobo.md) - [Autonomous Vehicle Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vehicle-coffee-machine.md) - [Speaker-Like Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-capsule-coffee-machine.md) - [Computer-Inspired Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-drip.md) - [Collaboration Coffee Capsule Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drip-pod-youbi.md) - [Modernist Toy-Like Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espresso-machine-concept.md) - [Organically Curvaceous Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-coffee-machine.md) - [Bean-Shaped Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bean-coffee-machine.md) - [Slick Minimalist Coffee Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-coffee-machine.md)
