Received the email earlier today regarding the Kickstarter going live on August 10 (Monday). Very excited to continue following the progress with this. I'm somewhat new to the sub, but going off of what I've seen on here recently I have to say that I was surprised to see two details from the picture on their Kickstarter page:

Shipping Q4 2026

3 Finishes

How likely do you think it is for the device to begin shipping Q4 of this year, considering we're already halfway through Q3?

Also, I have only seen two finishes ever shown in pictures/videos, and their website only shows black and silver. Thought maybe it's a typo, or possibly there actually is a third finish?

What coffee beans, that were not specifically intended to be used for espresso, surprised you when pulling a shot through them?

I've been using a coffee subscription service for a while now, and while there have been some not-so-great bags of beans even just for a french press there have been a few that surprised me. This roast from Forecast Coffee Co. tops my list for sure. The flavor notes are spot on, with a creamy texture that is almost velvety with the subtle hints of nutty chocolate.

Would love to hear what some of your surprises were! Love trying new beans.
