The latest Grower's Cup product embraces a one-time only approach to brewing. Those who enjoy daily doses of caffeine have often been hard-pressed to find coffee shops while on the go, and this design caters to this very demographic via a [portable polyethylene-lined technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleserve-coffee-bag).

Users of this Grower's Cup product simply have to stream boiling water into the waterproof bag. The ground beans that are contained inside the package instantly produce a delicious beverage, one that is intentionally modeled after the flavor and aroma of [French Press drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/espro-p3-french-press). A small tube located at the side of the product pours out the liquid, and given the ease of the whole process, café aficionados will certainly take up interest in this breakthrough concept.
