Immersion brewing usually calls for letting the water and coffee grounds steep before filtering out the finished product and Stäk updates an old design with a ceramic system that does away with traditional lever mechanisms. Notably, this low-tech project comes from Argodesign, which regularly works with cutting-edge tech companies. For the creation of Stäk, Argodesign worked with Mudshark Studios to refine the design of the immersion coffee maker. Stäk now sets itself apart as Argodesign's first-ever commercial product to be designed, produced and sold in-house. The sophisticated system is meant to be used with care as part of a [mindful daily ritual](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ratio-eight-series-2-coffee-machine). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Elegant Immersion Brewing:** Develop elegant, low-tech immersion coffee brewing systems that update old designs with modern materials and mechanisms. - **Commercializing In-house Designs:** Explore the opportunities for commercializing in-house designs and producing them for sale on a large scale. - **Integrated Mindful Daily Rituals:** Integrate mindfulness into daily rituals by creating products that need to be used with care and attention - both in design and function. ### Who This Affects Most - **Coffee Brewing Industry:** Create elegant, low-tech immersion coffee brewing systems that update the traditional designs and mechanisms. - **Design Industry:** Explore the possibilities of commercializing and scaling in-house design ideas and producing them for larger markets. - **Mindfulness Industry:** Integrate mindfulness into daily rituals by designing products that require care and attention during use, creating a more mindful experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Full-Immersion Vacuum Coffee Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/noair-coffee-brewing-system.md) - [Sleek Pour-Over Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pourover-coffee-maker1.md) - [Spiral Coffee Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-moka-coffee-pot.md) - [Modern Drip Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-drip-coffee-maker.md) - [Vacuum-Powered Coffee Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vacuum-coffee-brewer.md) - [Flatpack Outdoor Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutek-collapsible-pour-over.md) - [Stacking Mobile Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allinone-coffee-grinder.md) - [Single-Cup Coffee Brewing Wands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finalpress-v2.md) - [Single-Cup Workstation Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewster-dcm5000.md)
