The Daily Expeller is a machine that enables you to make [homemade custom oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milk-depot-milk-maker). Created by industrial design students at the [National Cheng Kung University](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gat-umbrella) in Taiwan, The Daily Expeller was developed as a graduate project. A miniature version of industrial sized expellers, the oil maker is fairly easy to use and will appeal to those who are into authentic homemade goods. To use, you place your [nuts or seeds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refined-almond-oil) of choice into the bottom compartment. A lever on the side of the appliance allows you to grind them as they are heated. Boiling water is also used before everything goes into the second chamber, where a crank is used to extract oil. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 65% | 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) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **At-home Oil Production:** The trend of at-home oil production allows consumers to make their own custom cooking oils from nuts and seeds. - **Customization:** The trend of customization empowers consumers to create personalized oil blends using a variety of nuts and seeds. - **Homemade Goods:** The trend of homemade goods encourages consumers to embrace authentic and DIY approaches to cooking ingredients. ### Where This Applies - **Kitchen Appliances:** The kitchen appliance industry could capitalize on the trend of at-home oil production by manufacturing efficient and user-friendly oil making machines. - **Food Manufacturing:** The food manufacturing industry can explore partnerships with at-home oil machine makers to offer consumers a wider range of oil options and promote customization. - **Sustainable Living:** The sustainable living industry can promote the use of at-home oil machines as a way to reduce packaging waste and encourage self-sufficiency in daily cooking. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Single-Serving Nut Milk Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automatic-nut-milk-maker.md) - [Push-Button Plant Milk Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutr.md) - [Customizable Temperature Milk Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutr-machine.md) - [On-Demand Nut Milk Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nut-milk-machine.md) - [Plant-Based Milk Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-milk-maker.md) - [Barista-Quality Alt Milk Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m1-plantbased-milk-maker.md) - [Plant-Based Milk Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nut-milk-maker.md) - [Plant-Based Milk Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gen-n.md) - [Fresh Homegrown Cooking Oils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-cooking-oils.md)
