This Week in Coffee; Wednesday 29th of March
The newsletter is back after a short break through March. I've had a great deal going on in my life which meant I had to step back briefly, but the newsletter is back now and better than ever.
Please keep sending me tips and insights. I can't keep across everything and love hearing from readers.
Equipment
Really good looking piece of kit which I've been waiting to talk about. It's been in kickstarter mode since September 2022 and is now ready to purchase.
I know there are other teams globally working on similar ideas with smart-pods and it's nice to see people getting out there. However, I think the market for a $800 plug-and-play pour over machine is going to be relatively small. Wouldn't people want to be involved at that price point?
Industry
This was a big story on the r/coffee subreddit and they did an amazing job supporting a coffee businesses that had been stung badly by poor fortune.
Snoop Dogg launched a line of coffee.
Jacksepticeye launches a line of 'snobbery free' coffee.
