Teacup Coffee Funnels

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The One Kiln Coffee Maker was Formally Inspired by Crockery

— October 22, 2013 — Art & Design
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. 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 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 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 Themes
1. 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.
2. Disguised Design - The disguised design of the One Kiln Coffee Maker presents an opportunity for products to incorporate camouflage and clever design elements.
3. 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.
Industry Implications
1. Coffee Appliances - The One Kiln Coffee Maker presents an opportunity for coffee appliance manufacturers to create minimalist, easy-to-use devices.
2. 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.
3. 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.
