The Conester is a new kind of drink coaster that is designed to make it easier than ever for you to enjoy your beverage of choice in a restaurant, pub or at home whilst ensuring that your drink doesn't fall. This coaster takes the form of a well that you can insert a [coffee mug](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pinch-hold) or a [pint of beer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beer-biocup) into, with special micro-suction technology used to keep your beverage secure. These [drink coasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zodiac-constellation-coasters) are made out of polypropylene, which is lightweight and easy to clean and also doesn't absorb much moisture. Ultimately, this drink coaster is a great purchase for people who spill their drinks a lot and would prefer not having to worry about it happening to them again whether at work or elsewhere. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Innovative Coasters:** The evolution of drink coasters presents an opportunity for companies to create innovative products that not only serve the purpose of preventing spills but also improve the drinking experience. - **Micro-suction Technology:** As the popularity of spill-proof coasters increases, companies could invest in improving the technology used, such as micro-suction technology, to create even more secure coasters. - **Sustainable Coasters:** With a growing emphasis on sustainability, there is potential for companies to create eco-friendly coasters using biodegradable materials or recycled plastics. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** Hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality businesses can benefit from offering spill-proof coasters to enhance their customers' experience. - **Home Goods:** Home goods companies could develop spill-proof coasters suitable for domestic use, catering to customers who want to avoid damaging their furniture or carpets. - **Beverage Industry:** Manufacturers of drinks such as coffee, beer, and wine could partner with coaster companies to create branded coasters, enhancing their branding and marketing strategies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Aquatic Beverage Coasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crab-inspired-coasters.md) - [Cork Coaster-Integrated Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polka-coffee-table.md) - [Warm-Toned Marble Coasters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lusine-coasters.md) - [Floating Cup Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koozie.md) - [Turntable-Inspired Coaster Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needledrop-coaster-set.md) - [Coffee-Cooling Travel Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beverage-tumbler.md) - [Barbie-Inspired Coaster Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbieinspired-coaster-set.md) - [Astrological Drinkware Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zodiac-constellation-coasters.md) - [In-Car Cupholder Upgrades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coolper.md)
