I never said I didn’t see the need or rather desirability. I said that a $2,000 single-cup device did not seem sensible.

Flow, pressure profile, temperature – yes, this is entirely possible on other devices. John Buchkman @ Decent Espresso has pointed this out more than once.

As for lots of backers; well Timemore and others had their popularity moment too. Barnum was right.

Yep, I went through it with the Streitman CT2. Despite it being an open boiler, saturated group, I was convinced that I would be able to add milk in there and somehow steam it. I thought the designer and all the other users had missed a trick. I was also shocked to find a lot more people I never knew started visiting me, and they all loved coffee. They all had keys to the house, invited themselves in, and demanded lattes or cappuccinos, before even sitting down. The cheek of it! I never knew a coffee machine purchase could be so fraught with brazenly hidden unknowns. Those darn influencers don’t tell you these things!

This just popped up.in my feed:
