As much as I hate to admit it, I definitely can’t start my day without a freshly brewed cup of coffee! A boost of energy, a dose of motivation and a serotonin rush I need every morning. And I’m sure that’s the case for most of us. However, making coffee is an intimate and complex process in itself, and a few handy products are always needed to peacefully brew and enjoy a much-needed cup of coffee. That’s why we’ve compiled a collection of product designs that include unique coffee makers, pour-over brewers, sustainable portable mugs and more to make your morning coffee routine a little more enjoyable. From reusable coffee cups made from recycled coffee waste to an old-fashioned espresso machine, these are must-haves for any coffee lover.
1. Kreis Cup
Meet the Kreis Cup, a coffee cup that is sustainable, durable and designed to enhance your coffee drinking experience! The Kreis Cup is a reusable cup made from used coffee grounds and plant-based materials, free of petroleum-based plastic, and available in cup and travel mug styles.
Why is it notable?
It is heat resistant and designed to keep your coffee hot longer. However, unlike the plastic-based cups you get from your local cafe or the breakable ceramic mugs you use at home, the Kreis Cup is ultimately biodegradable. At the end of its useful life, the Kreis Cup quickly dissolves into the soil and leaves absolutely nothing behind.
what do we like
- It is made from used coffee grounds that are dried, processed and then suspended in a natural, plant-based polymer.
- It has a light, unmistakable scent of coffee.
what we don’t like
- There is currently no scope for customization.
2. CoffeeB
Swedish coffee brand CoffeeB has developed a coffee machine that uses eco-friendly single-serve Coffee Balls. So basically it’s similar to coffee pod machines, but this one doesn’t have any plastic compartments or pods, so you’re not contributing to the world’s plastic waste.
Why is it notable?
Coffee Balls at room temperature or ref. After use, they can be turned into compost or natural fertilizer for your houseplants and gardens. If you don’t know how to use them after coffee, the machine comes with instructions and guides on how to recycle them properly.
what do we like
- Made partly from recycled materials
- The coffee grounds used are organic and Fair Trade certified.
what we don’t like
- No specification was specified as to whether the packaging would affect the flavor of the coffee
3. Retro Modern Espresso Machine
The product concept of the Retro Modern espresso machine brings back all the pastel beauty of authentic American diners, old-fashioned powerful cars and scooters, retro radios and toasters, and the 60s and 70s. In fact, these inspired the designer to create something like this that combines retro design with the modern machine that supplies liquids to all decaffeinated people who go to caffeine.
Why is it notable?
The pastel green and cream colors of the stucco will look homey in restaurants, coffee bars, and even kitchens with a softer aesthetic. It is very attractive for both coffee lovers and those who like modern touches to old-style designs.
what do we like
- Perfect for those who love old school designs
- minimal + soft
what we don’t like
- Added functions or other “bonus” applications of this coffee machine are unknown
- It’s still a concept!
4. Platypus Coffee Maker
This coffee maker concept will probably remind you of Perry the Platypus. Who is Perry? He is the fictional platypus from the animated series ‘Phineas and Ferb’. The younger generation may be quick to recognize the character, but don’t be upset if you don’t know him; maybe you’ll remember after a cup of coffee.
Why is it notable?
The Platypus Coffee Maker is an interestingly designed kitchen appliance that allows you to start the day well. Our life can’t be perfect, but coffee can be, and the Platypus does it just right for you. The streamlined style of the coffee machine begins with straight lines that set it apart from other coffee machines available on the market.
what do we like
- The choice of sapphire in color (though it looks like teal to me) makes it another fun device that can cheer up your kitchen counter or coffee area.
- Easy to maintain with a holding pan to store used floors
what we don’t like
- Interesting aesthetics may not be for everyone
5. Origin Coffee Maker
Whenever I take my first sip of my morning coffee, I am always grateful to whoever developed it and to the farmers who harvested this special blend I drink. While some of the world’s best coffees are often known to come from Brazil, Colombia, and Vietnam (I hope my home country, the Philippines, will one day be included in this list, too), one of the industry’s unsung heroes is Ethiopia, where coffee beans are grown. It has been developing since the 7th century. This concept design for a coffee machine pays homage to the East African country.
Why is it notable?
Origin coffee machine concept wants to bring “meaningful coffee” to your cup by reminding you of its origin. The shape of the coffee machine is inspired by the map of Ethiopia, but of course not exactly, but modeled on the basic outline. In this way, the designer can “honor” the origin of the coffee, but historians cannot really say that the local people who grow the beans grew or consumed these valuable beans there.
what do we like
- There are only a few buttons you need to press, including the on/off and on/off buttons.
- You have the option to make espresso or americano and there is also a knob or level for water and beans.
what we don’t like
- Industrial aesthetic makes it suitable for modern kitchens
6. SuperCube
The SüpKüp is a travel mug that is not a mug on its own, but rather serves as an alternative to disposable paper coffee sleeves. It can hold the paper cups (medium and large at least) that most coffee shops provide, including the still hugely popular Starbucks.
Why is it notable?
It is made of durable polycarbonate and has a very elegant and minimalist design that will continue to showcase any mug tightly packed inside. This holder does not need any liquid transfer or constant cleaning, so it is more convenient.
what do we like
- Your hot drink stays hot 50% longer than when you hold your paper cup
- It has a double helix screw ejector that lets you remove the cup when you’re done by turning the rotating base.
what we don’t like
- Instead of an alternative to disposable cups, it helps preserve your coffee drinkability and leaves more room for future improvements that we hope to see soon.
7. Gevi
At first glance, the Gevi doesn’t look like your traditional 2-in-1 coffee maker. These look much bulkier and industrial, while Gevi has a sleek and slim look. However, inside, Gevi can both grind and brew your coffee beans… and pre-weigh the beans, resulting in a well-calibrated brew that is accurate.
Why is it notable?
Gevi, winner of the 2021 Red Dot Design Award, throws away the idea that a coffee machine should look like a big, bulky box. With its cylindrical design extending to the cantilevered coffee grinder and brewer, Gevi draws on visual drama that looks almost sculptural, like a ballerina on one leg. While this description is inherently a bit too artistic for a coffee maker, it brings a point to the house… even an ordinary kitchen appliance can be designed to look beautiful.
what do we like
- It comes with a base platform with its own custom weighing scale to help you weigh the beans before adding them to the grinder.
- Commercial-grade 60mm flat steel burrs help grind your beans consistently
what we don’t like
8. Peacemaker 2.0
In its second version, the beverage brewing alarm clock comes with an updated design that includes a better brewing system that uses a one-of-a-kind immersion brewer that works equally well with tea or coffee. Instead of pouring your drink directly into the glass, the immersion brewer keeps your drink in a chamber and allows you to pour yourself a cup of coffee whenever you need it. However, the scent goes out quite effortlessly and makes you wake up with the aroma of coffee beans or aromatic tea.
Why is it notable?
Bariseur’s multi-sensory realm shifting ability makes waking up an absolute pleasure, as it not only wakes you up with sound but also seduces your nostrils with the scent of fresh coffee and lifts you out of bed with something to look forward to. and possibly a sunnier trend as well.
what do we like
- It comes with a mini fridge to keep a small glass of milk in the fridge for you to pour into your coffee or tea.
- The immersion brewer is removable so you can brew multiple cups in one day.
what we don’t like
9. Talent 58
Created to allow you to manually brew your own coffee, the Flair 58 is an espresso machine that requires a little elbow grease. The lever-operated design allows you to physically “pump” your espresso, while the pressure gauge lets you know if you’ve reached the full 9 bars needed to make a deliciously brewed cup.
Why is it notable?
The Flair 58, as the name suggests, is equipped with an industry standard 58mm portafilter that allows you to use existing filters/tampers with your device. If you’re obsessed with the coffee they drink (like many people), the Flair 58 is the perfect complement to your coffee-making ritual, giving you the ability to make an artisanal and artisanal cup. as fresh as can be!
what do we like
- Finished with a black anodized finish, the aluminum will stand up to years of continuous and consistent use, so your coffee will taste great ten years from the time you bought the Flair 58.
- Flair 58 offers 3 temperature settings to choose from
what we don’t like
10. Apple Drop
The Apple Drip is officially the first Apple concept we’ve seen designed for the kitchen. Truth be told, Apple’s minimalism brand fits just about anywhere, after all, a HomePod looks pretty good in the kitchen, right?
Why is it notable?
The Apple Drip has style comparable to the Ember Mug (fun fact, Ember lead designer Robert Brunner has worked extensively at Apple), with a slick, black design that looks equally mysterious and approachable. Uncomplicated, but professional. The black cylinder comes with a touchscreen interface on its top edge with just three buttons: a power button, a temperature button, and a coffee dispense button. Designed to work with an app or even Siri (one assumes), Drip dispenses coffee into a sleek looking mug that sits in its designated spot on a larger rectangular platform.
what do we like
- Turns a poorly received desktop into a desktop brewer
- Has a dispensing nozzle that slides out to dispense coffee
what we don’t like
- A conceptual design that awaits us, like most people, a real-world product.
