Mokase takes the form of a [smartphone case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-smart-coffee-maker) that doubles as a coffee maker. To use the device, one may slot a Makaromi cartridge into the case. From there, a user may launch the Mokase app to begin the brewing process. Within just five to eight seconds, Mokase heats water that can be poured for making a quick [shot of espresso](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/javapresso-espresso-machine) that can be poured into a small cup. Although many smartphone users might be concerned about the closeness of liquid to their phone, the Mokase is 100% waterproof and the designers promise that the heating of the phone accessory add-on will not compromise the phone's regular functions and features. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 98% | 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) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Portable Coffee Maker:** The Mokase case represents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the portable coffee maker industry due to its ultra-compact size and integration with smartphones. - **Smartphone Accessory:** The Mokase case represents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the smartphone accessory industry due to its unique and multipurpose design. - **Mobile Brewing Technology:** The Mokase case represents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the mobile brewing technology industry by enabling coffee lovers to brew espresso on the go. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Coffee Industry:** The Mokase case represents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the coffee industry by providing a novel way for coffee lovers to enjoy espresso outside of coffee shops. - **Smartphone Industry:** The Mokase case represents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the smartphone industry by creating a new category of smartphone accessories that are multipurpose and innovative. - **Consumer Electronics Industry:** The Mokase case represents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the consumer electronics industry by integrating a coffee maker with a smartphone accessory and creating a new product category. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Portable Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-espresso-makers.md) - [Self-Heating Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cera-portable-espresso-machine-pro.md) - [Pocket-Sized Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conqueco-portable-espresso-machine.md) - [Mini Espresso Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cyetus-mini-espresso.md) - [Portable Espresso Coffee Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewpin.md) - [Rechargeable In-Car Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-coffee-maker-1.md) - [Outdoor-Friendly Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mokka-to-go.md) - [Battery-Powered Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outin-nano-mini.md) - [Travel-Ready Powered Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outin-nano.md)
