The compact espresso maker is equipped to sit in the cupholder in a car and plug into the lighter socket. After adding some water and waiting for about two minutes, the A Modo Mio Espressego makes a small 50ml espresso. 10 different espresso flavors are available and come in capsules that work exclusively with the A Modo Mio Espressego. The [portable espresso maker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mokamax-portable-coffee-maker) is lightweight and weighs in at just over 2 lbs. The starter kit for the espresso machine is availabl in the UK, Italy, Spain and Portugal and includes 16 A Modo Mio coffee capsules to start. There's also the option for its own carrying bag. But considering how well it brews coffee in a car, it probably won’t stray too far from the cupholder. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Portable Espresso Makers:** The trend of portable espresso makers presents an opportunity for innovative coffee companies to create compact and convenient machines for coffee lovers on the go. - **In-car Appliances:** The rise of in-car appliances, such as the in-car espresso maker, opens up opportunities for car manufacturers and accessory companies to develop and market new products that enhance the in-car experience. - **Customized Coffee Capsules:** The trend of customized coffee capsules, like the ones used with A Modo Mio Espressego, creates an opportunity for coffee companies to offer a wider variety of flavors and personalized options to cater to individual preferences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Coffee Industry:** The coffee industry can capitalize on the in-car espresso maker trend by developing innovative products and marketing strategies to cater to the growing demand for on-the-go coffee consumption. - **Automotive Industry:** The automotive industry can explore collaborations with coffee machine manufacturers to integrate in-car espresso makers as a premium feature in vehicles, offering a unique selling point for car brands. - **Consumer Electronics Industry:** The consumer electronics industry can tap into the market for portable espresso makers by creating advanced, high-tech devices with innovative features that cater to the needs of coffee enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [In-Car Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcoffee-auto-12v.md) - [Smart Car Coffee Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roadpro-5027s.md) - [Portable Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-espresso-makers.md) - [Handheld Powered Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-portable-espresso-machine.md) - [Autonomous Vehicle Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vehicle-coffee-machine.md) - [Self-Heating Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cera-portable-espresso-machine-pro.md) - [Coffee-Brewing Electric Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vauxhall-mokka-coffee.md) - [Travel-Ready Powered Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outin-nano.md) - [Compact Capsule-Like Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-espresso-coffee-machine.md)
