LG Electronics plans to sell Duobo, a capsule coffee machine, within the year. Duobo, which has an impressive design modeled after a space probe, is characterized by the ability to extract two capsules at once.
Unlike existing coffee machines that brew coffee with just one capsule, you can use two capsules with different flavors and aromas at the same time to produce coffee that suits your taste.
Duobo uses the most popular size coffee capsules that consumers can easily find on the market. You can create your own recipe by setting the extraction temperature and extraction amount of each capsule in a dedicated application.
LG Electronics explained, “Even if you use the same capsule, it’s a pleasure to make unique coffee by varying the capsule combination and extraction conditions.”
The size of the capsule coffee market, which exceeded 100 billion won in 2018, will exceed 400 billion won in 2022. The rapid spread of home cafe culture due to social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact.
Recently, the price of the product has been reduced and the price of capsule coffee has been reduced to 300~500 won per unit, further increasing the popularity of coffee machines.
According to the ‘Detailed Analysis of the Domestic Coffee Market’ analyzed by KADX, the agricultural and food big data exchange of the Korea Agri-Fisheries and Food Trade Corporation, and MarketLink, a distribution market data platform company, according to a user panel survey, households drink 6.5 cups of coffee per week on average.
Among the types of coffee consumed at home, instant coffee such as blended coffee was the highest at 54%, followed quickly by capsule coffee machines (27%).
