# Utilitarian Benchtop Baristas This Nespresso Coffee Machine Simply Performs its Purpose By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-07-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nespresso-coffee-machine References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/07/11/my-next-coffee-machine/) & [wix](http://www.wix.com/dannakazir/) Maybe it's just me, but I can't help but get the impression that modern coffee makers are beginning to take the shape space ships. This [Nespresso](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertuo-up-machine) [Coffee Machine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cumulus-coffee-machine), on the other hand, embodies a much more familiar form. Having said that, this design by Danna Kazir does not look exactly like anything I've seen before in the category of java filtering contraptions, yet one can quickly deduce its function just by looking at it. Its appearance seems to represent a contemporary version of the [Bauhaus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karl-lagerfeld-residences) ideal. A smooth and minimal white square sports modish rounded edges and corners, housing an asymmetrical void within which a coffee cup can be placed. A thick metal cylinder penetrates the side of the Nespresso Coffee Machine completely, administering the rich flavor of roasted beans into your mug. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalist Coffee Machines:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in creating sleek, minimalistic coffee machines that blend seamlessly into modern kitchen designs. - **Intuitive Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing coffee machines with designs that allow users to intuitively understand their function. - **Bauhaus-inspired Coffee Devices:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in designing coffee machines that take inspiration from the Bauhaus movement, combining form and function. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Appliance:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the home appliance industry by creating coffee machines that appeal to design-conscious consumers. - **Kitchenware:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the kitchenware industry by developing coffee machines with user-friendly designs. - **Coffee Maker:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the coffee maker industry by incorporating innovative design elements inspired by art movements like Bauhaus. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Slick Minimalist Coffee Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-coffee-machine.md) - [Minimalist One-Button Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muuto-coffee-maker.md) - [Sleek Modern Coffee Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vertuo-up-machine.md) - [Compact Espresso Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/demi.md) - [Bean-Shaped Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bean-coffee-machine.md) - [Organically Curvaceous Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-coffee-machine.md) - [Simplistic Interface Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/javapresso-espresso-machine.md) - [Barista-Inspired Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meticulous-espresso.md) - [Customizable Automated Espresso Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-baristina-espresso-maker.md)
