[Pod coffee brewing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kotlie-513hf) has become the norm for many consumers, so the [GE](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-assistant) Keurig K-Cup Brewing French Door Refrigerator looks to incorporate it even further into one's lifestyle. The fridge features a section on the front that will provide users with fresh coffee, tea or hot chocolate at their leisure.

Working with the accompanying smartphone app, the GE Keurig K-Cup Brewing French Door Refrigerator will provide hot water on-demand and helps to streamline kitchen spaces.

As home sizes continue to shrink for those that live in urban locations, the need for dual-purpose appliances and products is becoming quite apparent. This fridge from [General Electric](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/totinos-pizza-rolls-fridge) helps to reduce the need for multiple appliances, provide piping hot water on-demand and is smartphone-connected to satisfy modern consumers.
