The K-cups work in a regular single-serve coffee machine and contain 10-milligrams of THC. Despite recent questions regarding the environmental impact of K-cups, this infusion is definitely tempting to check out, just to figure out the production process alone. While a similarly themed blend of [weed coffee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-space-propulsion) was created in Seattle in 2014, the infusion of it into K-cups is a brand new concept. The marijuana-infused coffee pods were created by and are available at [Uncle Ike's Pot Shop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/korean-savory-pancake-kit) located in the Mann neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Washington voted to legalize marijuana in the fall of 2012. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 89% | 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) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Marijuana-infused Products:** Creating innovative products infused with marijuana can appeal to both cannabis and coffee enthusiasts and open up new market opportunities. - **Cannabis Consumption Methods:** Exploring new ways to consume cannabis, such as infusing it into coffee pods, allows for the development of alternative consumption methods. - **Intersection of Coffee and Cannabis Industries:** Bringing together the coffee and cannabis industries through products like marijuana-infused coffee pods creates potential for collaboration, partnerships, and market growth. ### Where This Applies - **Cannabis:** The cannabis industry can capitalize on the creation of marijuana-infused coffee pods by expanding their product offerings and attracting new consumer segments. - **Coffee:** The coffee industry has the opportunity to tap into the growing demand for cannabis-infused products by incorporating marijuana-infused coffee pods into their product lines. - **Beverage Packaging:** The beverage packaging industry can explore environmentally friendly solutions for packaging marijuana-infused coffee pods to address the concerns raised about the environmental impact of traditional K-cups. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [THC-Infused Cold Brew Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thc-infused-cold-brew.md) - [Cannabis-Infused Coffee Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-chocolates.md) - [Collaboration Coffee Capsule Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/houseplant-coffee-by-cometeer.md) - [Caffeinated Cannabis Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-space.md) - [Seasonal Cannabis Coffee Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenith-nitro-cold-brew-cannabis-pumpkin-spice.md) - [CBD Coffee Advent Calendars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannacoffee-coffee-advent-calendar.md) - [Chocolate-Coffee Cannabis Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cannabis-bar.md) - [Canned CBD Cold Coffees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trip-cbdinfused-cold-brew-coffee.md) - [Mushroom Coffee Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-cups.md)
