# Scoopable Java Clips Kapu Coffee by Teemu Karhunen was Designed to Seal and Scoop By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-03-01 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kapu-coffee-by-teemu-karhunen References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/38432/) & [finnishdesignshop.us](http://www.finnishdesignshop.us/tableware-coffee-tea-kapu-coffee-scoop-and-bag-closer-kupu-coffee-scoop-and-bag-closer-p-4856.html) Making a simple cup of caffeine can involve so many unnecessary dishes, but the brilliant concept behind Kapu Coffee by Teemu Karhunen makes the task of [brewing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pour-over-coffee-bags) much more efficient. The beauty of this product packaging lies much less in the conventional creation of the [paper bag for ground beans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-products), and completely in the clever inclusion of a reinvented chip clip. Functioning much like a wooden clothespin, the bag sealer slides over the folded opening of the pouch. With enough stiffness along its length, it keeps the sack secured tightly shut. More brilliant however, is the carved divot in the end of the wooden tongs. Acting like a spoon, it's there to scoop the grind out of the bag and into the coffeemaker. Fulfilling two simple functions with one reusable form, the design of Kapu Coffee by Teemu Karhunen adds efficiency to your morning roast routine. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 27% | Activity: 81% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Efficient Coffee Packaging:** Kapu Coffee's reinvented chip clip packaging demonstrates the potential for efficient and sustainable packaging design that combines multiple functions. - **Multi-functional Design:** The carved divot in Kapu Coffee's wooden tongs demonstrate the potential for products that fulfill multiple functions with one reusable form. - **Simplicity in Product Design:** Kapu Coffee's simple and effective design demonstrates the potential for disruption in the coffee industry through innovative and minimalistic product design. ### Who This Affects Most - **Coffee Industry:** The design of Kapu Coffee by Teemu Karhunen showcases a potential opportunity for companies to disrupt the coffee industry through innovative product packaging and design. - **Food Packaging Industry:** Kapu Coffee's reinvented chip clip packaging demonstrates the potential for redesigning traditional food packaging to be more efficient, sustainable, and multi-functional. - **Sustainable Product Design Industry:** Kapu Coffee's combination of functionality and sustainability in their product design highlights the potential for disruption in the sustainable product design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Accordion-Style Coffee Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/accordion-paper-cup.md) - [Card-Labeled Coffee Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blueprint-coffee.md) - [Coffee Pod Recycling Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-pod-recycling-tool.md) - [Note Clip Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/note-clip.md) - [Recyclable Coffee Packagings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tanuii-coffee.md) - [Machine-Free Coffee Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3commas-instant-coffee-pods.md) - [Flatpack Outdoor Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutek-collapsible-pour-over.md) - [Spoon-Equipped Formula Lids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chadwicks.md) - [Stacking Mobile Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allinone-coffee-grinder.md)
