Risks and challenges
Since our first Kickstarter/Indiegogo campaign in 2014, we’re on a journey of discovery in specialty coffee – roasting kick-ass coffee in our micro roastery and solving engineering puzzles to come up with innovative coffee gear to make your brewing easier (and tastier). Our products are hand-assembled and shipped from our headquarters, in the heart of Europe, and from our warehouse in the US. This is our third Kickstarter campaign and we’re proud to say that all rewards to the 10,617 backers from the first campaign and 2,389 backers from our second campaign were successfully delivered. Our team is now even bigger and stronger, and we’re ready to take your specialty coffee lifestyle to an even higher level. We have already completed an extensive durability and grind comparison test that made us certain we have created a great product. As soon as we are funded, we will be able to fine tune the grinder, kick-off the production and ship it to our backers. We have mapped out the critical path and have made all necessary precautions to ensure we can scale production if we surpass our goal. We are very confident in our timeline, but it’s our core belief to never settle for a mediocre product, so we won’t be compromising on the quality in order to save time. Should any production challenges or processing delays arise in terms of production or delivery, we promise to keep you updated every step of the way and deliver you the best quality product as soon as possible.
