# Cascading Coffee Brewers The 'Cascade' Kitchen Coffee Maker Turns Brewing into Artwork By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-02-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitchen-coffee-maker References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/02/13/a-coffee-machine-for-frank-lloyd-wright/) The basic design of the coffee brewer hasn't been changed much over the course of the past several years, which is something the '[Cascade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cascade-house)' kitchen coffee maker targets to change. Instead of simply being filled with water, heating it up and pouring it over coffee grounds, the 'Cascade' coffee maker incorporates a water streaming design into the experience. This sees water cascading from the top portion downward in order to bring a certain sense of wonder and drama to the simple act of brewing a pot of coffee. The 'Cascade' kitchen coffee maker is aesthetically beautiful and looks more like a piece of artwork than an appliance for [brewing coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aarke). It is the design work of Connor Canavan. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.9/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 66% | 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) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive Brewing:** The 'Cascade' coffee maker introduces a water streaming design that transforms the act of brewing coffee into an interactive and visually-appealing experience. - **Aesthetic Appliances:** The 'Cascade' coffee maker showcases the potential for merging functionality with aesthetic beauty, creating opportunities for appliance designers to elevate the visual appeal of everyday kitchen appliances. - **Innovative Design:** The 'Cascade' coffee maker challenges the traditional design of coffee brewers, paving the way for innovative and visually-striking approaches to product design in the kitchen appliance industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Kitchen Appliance:** The 'Cascade' coffee maker demonstrates the potential for transforming traditional kitchen appliances into visually captivating and interactive experiences, opening up new opportunities in the kitchen appliance industry. - **Home Decor:** The aesthetically-pleasing design of the 'Cascade' coffee maker highlights the potential for appliances to serve as both functional tools and decorative pieces, presenting disruptive innovation opportunities in the home decor industry. - **Product Design:** The innovative design of the 'Cascade' coffee maker sets a precedent for reimagining the form and function of everyday products, creating avenues for disruptive innovation in the field of product design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Spiral Coffee Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-moka-coffee-pot.md) - [Single-Cup Workstation Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewster-dcm5000.md) - [Character Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-moky.md) - [Tranquil Design Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenbrew-coffee-maker.md) - [Designer Drip Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fellow-aiden.md) - [Bean-Shaped Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bean-coffee-machine.md) - [Modern Drip Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-drip-coffee-maker.md) - [Ritual-Driven Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ratio-eight-series-2-coffee-machine.md) - [Style-Conscious Coffee Kettles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artisan-gooseneck-kettle.md)
