# Sci-Fi Coffee Creators HJC Design Presents a Modern Coffee Maker Perfect for the World of 'TRON' By Michael Hines | Published 2011-12-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hjc-design References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/coffee-machine-design-for-peel-by-hjc-design/) & [hjcdesign](http://www.hjcdesign.co.uk/) HJC Design has redesigned the coffee maker to fit with the sensibilities and technology of the 21st century. This strikingly [sleek coffee maker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertuo-up-machine) was designed by the Yorkshire-based HJC for [Peel UK](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peel-p50). HJC Design's unnamed coffee maker is designed without an accompanying coffee pot. Instead of collecting coffee in a pot and warming it with a hotplate, this coffee machine [pours it by the cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singlecup-coffee-maker). The machine has two settings that let you control the strength of your coffee. The futuristic coffee creator features a smooth and futuristic design that looks more like it belongs in a kitchen from the world of 'TRON' than in a modern home. Many appliance makers are starting to rethink the way to make coffee in the morning. It may not be long before all coffee is brewed in a machine similar to this design. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Futuristic Coffee Machines:** There is a growing trend of designing coffee makers with smoother, sleeker and futuristic designs that cater to the tastes of the 21st century. - **Single Cup Coffee Makers:** Single cup coffee makers with strength control are becoming increasingly popular for their convenience. - **Redesigning Traditional Appliances:** More appliance makers are redesigning traditional home appliances, such as coffee makers, to match with modern sensibilities. ### Where This Applies - **Home Appliances:** The home appliances industry can explore opportunities in designing futuristic single cup coffee makers to cater to the trends of the 21st century. - **Coffee and Beverage Industry:** The coffee and beverage industry can capitalize on the growing trend of single cup coffee makers with strength control by introducing new products in the market. - **Design Industry:** The design industry can explore opportunities in redesigning traditional home appliances to match with modern sensibilities and cater to the changing needs of consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slick Minimalist Coffee Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-coffee-machine.md) - [Tranquil Design Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenbrew-coffee-maker.md) - [Computer-Inspired Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-drip.md) - [Bean-Shaped Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bean-coffee-machine.md) - [Single-Cup Workstation Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewster-dcm5000.md) - [Smart Coffee Brewing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-connected-coffee-machine.md) - [Character Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-moky.md) - [Portable Digitized Coffee Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewster-coffee-machine.md) - [Minimalist One-Button Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muuto-coffee-maker.md)
