# Teacup Coffee Funnels The One Kiln Coffee Maker was Formally Inspired by Crockery By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-10-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-kiln-coffee-maker References: [leibal](http://leibal.com/products/one-kiln/) & [three-tone](http://three-tone.com/?mode=grp&gid=433748) You don't actually require fancy equipment to brew a cup of coffee, but it's perhaps still surprising to behold the [beautifully minimalist One Kiln Coffee Maker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aarke-coffee-system). The set actually appears to be designed for the serving and sipping of your java, rather than for its preparation. Threetone makes a [simple metal stand](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-dripper-system) so that the pieces can be arranged properly. Its base plate takes the shape of a water droplet, and this is mirrored by the open drip form that defines the top of the stand. The funnel looks more like a [conical cup and saucer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cuptone-teacup) when viewed from the side, especially because of its hook-like handle. The One Kiln Coffee Maker works by stacking this disguised ceramic vessel on top and placing a real coffee cup below it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 34% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe, 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 - **Minimalist Coffee Brewing:** The One Kiln Coffee Maker's minimalist design presents an opportunity for coffee brewing products and methods to embrace a minimalist aesthetic. - **Disguised Design:** The disguised design of the One Kiln Coffee Maker presents an opportunity for products to incorporate camouflage and clever design elements. - **Simplicity in Function:** The One Kiln Coffee Maker's simple yet functional design presents an opportunity for products to prioritize ease-of-use over complexity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Coffee Appliances:** The One Kiln Coffee Maker presents an opportunity for coffee appliance manufacturers to create minimalist, easy-to-use devices. - **Home Decor:** The disguised design of the One Kiln Coffee Maker presents an opportunity for home decor manufacturers to create household items that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. - **Kitchen Utensils:** The One Kiln Coffee Maker presents a unique opportunity for kitchen utensil manufacturers to create multi-functional utensils that can be used for both brewing and serving coffee. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Single-Cup Workstation Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brewster-dcm5000.md) - [Character Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-moky.md) - [Minimalist One-Button Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muuto-coffee-maker.md) - [Tranquil Design Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenbrew-coffee-maker.md) - [Sleek Pour-Over Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pourover-coffee-maker1.md) - [Centrifugal Force Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuku-maker.md) - [Flatpack Outdoor Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brutek-collapsible-pour-over.md) - [Spiral Coffee Brewers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-moka-coffee-pot.md) - [Efficient Modern Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singlecup-coffee-maker.md)
