The beauty of this product lies in its mechanical design. While the product developers integrate cutting-edge technology into everyday products, Cafelat brings it back to basics. The offered manual espresso coffee maker is made of stainless steel and is completely plastic-free. It does not boast any [electronic or high-tech parts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boschs-new-line). Regardless of popular belief, this might as well be one of its selling points. The Cafelat Robot features a simple, clever and cost-effective technique for [making espresso](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byd-espresso-machine) -- one needs only ground coffee and some hot water from a kettle. The machine is only able to make shots, hence the beverage offerings are limited to double or single espresso and an Americano. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Manual Espresso Coffee Makers:** The trend of manual espresso coffee makers is disrupting the coffee machine industry by offering sustainable and cost-effective options for consumers. - **Plastic-free Products:** The trend of plastic-free products is disrupting various industries by providing eco-friendly alternatives that promote sustainability and reduce waste. - **Simplicity in Design:** The trend of simplicity in design is disrupting the high-tech industry by offering basic yet effective products that meet the needs of consumers without being overly complicated. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Coffee Machine Industry:** The coffee machine industry can explore the manual espresso coffee maker trend to create eco-friendly machines that offer cost-effective and sustainable options for consumers. - **Household Products Industry:** The household products industry can adopt the plastic-free trend and create products that are eco-friendly and promote sustainability. - **Consumer Electronics Industry:** The consumer electronics industry can introduce products with simplicity in design that provide basic yet effective solutions for consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Precision Manual Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allmetal-espresso-maker.md) - [Barista-Inspired Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meticulous-espresso.md) - [Elegant Manual Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-lever-espresso-maker.md) - [Simplistic Interface Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/javapresso-espresso-machine.md) - [Compact Espresso Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/demi.md) - [Customizable Automated Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-baristina-espresso-maker.md) - [Space-Saving Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terra-kaffe-demi.md) - [Luxe Low-Power Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automatic-espresso-machine-and-frother.md) - [Mini Espresso Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyetus-mini-espresso.md)
