Also, I found their first couple of paragraphs kind of disjointed:
"For most people, a great cup of espresso is associated with a cafe, a trained barista, and a large piece of expensive equipment. Options for brewing at home are scarce and pricey, and the ability to have your favorite espresso drink - on the GO - is even more difficult to come by.
But, for so many of us, our morning espresso is the fuel we need to take on our biggest challenges. Itâs the way we greet our day, the comfort that raises us from our beds, hotel rooms, campsites and places far from home. Why should we settle for less, right at the exact moment we need the boost to be our best?"
Youâre literally trying to sell me an on-the-go espresso maker, and then make a comparison that basically suggests weâre already making espresso in all of these places. Did an LLM write this or something? XD
All that being said, I do think the product looks neat. I donât really care that they made a pod capable version, but Iâd be interested to see a review of this unit. Somebody link a James Hoffman video when he inevitably makes one. Lol
Agreed, it was probably a smart business decision.
Yeah, and I think they probably couldâve designed it in a different way too. I get the impression that they just wanted to be trendy/fashionable with it. I mean, does it really need that many pivot points? Design based on yoga? Lol, come on. Just give me practicality and functionality, I donât need any of that extra fluff.
Shouldâve linked to the introduction page instead:

Anecdotally, Iâve found camping people to be into the practicality of pods. I think itâs a smart move.
The extra small size is also good, but light weight would be even more important.

Itâs word marketing, but 40% the size of other models is pretty impressive.
