I’ve read probably 100 comments before I stopped. It’s really sad how negative HN has become. I wonder how many of those comments are from people that are really into coffee.
Super cool product. Especially interested in the grinder. I recently purchased a Niche Duo and was not very impressed in the upgrade from a Zero. Kind of wished I would have gone a different direction entirely. Maybe something like yours.
Regarding the website, I was on mobile and it seemed fine. I like the very Apple-y product showcasing. I think it’s fun.
Regarding the espresso machine, I think people are being very silly about the plastic and external heating source.
A tube going into kettle? Like, people are consuming 10x as much plastic eating beans out of a can or getting a coffee to go from their local shop.
The external heating source is also exactly how Modbar works. I think it’s cool you don’t double or triple the price by basically doing what Modbar does. A nice kettle can hold temps to approximate levels pretty well.
I think people should see this for what it is: a specialty espresso machine. It could be a statement piece, or perhaps a really interesting option for great espresso depending on how it performs. Have you tried to get it in front of daddy Hoffmann?
