Hand-Cranked Java Dispensers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Manual Coffee Machine by Xie Ling Lin is Perfect for Camping

— June 25, 2014 — Art & Design
The Manual Coffee Machine is a clever java dispenser that will appeal to people on two very different levels. First of all, it is great for outdoor activities that have little to no access to electricity. For those who want a quality cup of jo in the morning and are unwilling to sacrifice it even for some much-needed time with Mother Nature, this hand-cranked alternative solves the problem perfectly.

Designed by Xie Ling Lin, the Manual Coffee Machine also incorporates the fine art of grinding one's own coffee beans in order to brew as fresh a cup as possible. Although it is a single shot maker, people will have a lot of time on their hands away from television and social media.
Trend Themes
1. Outdoor-ready Coffee Makers - Opportunity for developing portable and manual coffee machines that cater to outdoor enthusiasts and those in areas with limited access to electricity.
2. Self-grinding Coffee Machines - Potential for creating coffee makers that allow users to grind their own beans for a more personalized and fresh cup of coffee.
3. Off-the-grid Coffee Brewing - Possibility of designing coffee machines that operate without electricity, providing a solution for individuals seeking coffee while camping or in remote locations.
Industry Implications
1. Camping and Outdoor Gear - Opportunity for companies in the camping and outdoor gear industry to create innovative coffee machines that cater to outdoor enthusiasts and campers.
2. Home Appliance - Potential for home appliance manufacturers to develop self-grinding coffee machines that offer users the ability to grind their own beans.
3. Energy-efficient Appliances - Room for energy-efficient appliance manufacturers to create off-the-grid coffee brewing machines that don't rely on electricity.
