The Automatic Tea Making Machine Lets Users Multitask in the Morning

— December 23, 2011 — Art & Design
Sometimes making a cup of tea in the morning (or any time of the day, for that matter) can be a hassle, but the Automatic Tea Making Machine (also known as the Teasmade) can change all of that. Similar to a coffee machine, it brews a cup of ready-made tea while people are busy doing other things.

Conceived by Nottingham-based designer Luke Smith, the Automatic Tea Making Machine goes beyond that, however. It has a timer so that the water doesn't start boiling until the very minute the user wants it to. It can also be synced to smartphones for even more complex commands. The Automatic Tea Making Machine boasts an alarm clock as well, which is especially useful during busy mornings.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Home Appliances - There is an opportunity to disrupt the home appliance industry by creating more smart appliances that can be controlled through smartphones and other smart devices.
2. Automated Brewing Devices - Automated brewing devices like the Automatic Tea Making Machine can greatly improve convenience and save time for individuals and businesses alike.
3. Innovation in Kitchen Gadgets - There is a need for more innovative kitchen gadgets that make cooking and preparing food easier and faster than traditional methods.
Industry Implications
1. Appliance Manufacturing - Appliance manufacturers can consider developing more smart home devices, such as the tea making machine, to appeal to tech-savvy consumers.
2. Hospitality - The hospitality industry can benefit from automated brewing devices by providing guests with a quick and convenient way to prepare tea or coffee in their room.
3. Home Décor and Gift Shops - Home décor and gift shops could explore selling automated brewing devices as practical and unique gift ideas for tea and coffee lovers.
