Home coffee maker sales has seen a significant increase in China so far this year, as a result of state consumption-boosting subsidies and seeping of the coffee culture deeper into daily routines in the country. Inside a cafe in Foshan City of south China's industrial powerhouse of Guangdong Province, a handful of twenty-somethings were crowding the bar watching a barista's wrist flick back and forth, with patterns of leaves and hearts blooming in the crema. They were there for a latte-art class. As coffee becomes part of everyday life and as home appliance subsidies are still on offer, buying a home appliance like a coffee maker is suddenly becoming a trend. Data show that domestic coffee-machine sales hit 1.683 million units from January to August, up 75.6 percent year-on-year. By 2029, China's coffee-machine market is forecast to reach 10.6 billion yuan (1.46 billion U.S. dollars), a 28 percent compound annual growth rate.
