New Stretch Goal Announced!
over 7 years ago – Thu, Dec 20, 2018 at 06:25:20 AM

Hey everyone! 

Who's going to tip us into the 75% mark?!

To celebrate where we've gotten so far, we extended the 'Cyber Monday Special' for you lucky dogs. While we still have some great deals available, things are selling quicker than ever, so don't dilly dally. 

 Announcing Our Stretch Goal: 

How often do you go to prep some coffee when you can't find that designated coffee measuring scoop you always use? 

We've got a 15 mL scoop that clamps onto your coffee to keep it fresh. Finally, a scoop that will never get misplaced. 

• If we raise $46,000 USD by December 20th, everyone gets a free scoop with their brewer. 
• The mirror-polished steel compliments your new portable brewing arsenal. 
• Our current projections / trends land us right at $35,000. This is only $11,000 higher. 

Let's sum up the value you are getting here:

• $35 Tumbler & Magnetic Lid. 
• $20 dual-layered filter. 
• $8 bag of coffee. 
• $10 Clamping Spoon (Hopefully!)   

 "Wait, are we losing money on this deal?"

Massive project boost due to some fantastic people!

Hello Folks! 

We have seen some massive pledges due to some of you superbackers, and we'd like to say thanks!

With only $10,000 left to raise over the next 11 days, we are going to start pushing a new advertising campaign with our remaining budget, and we hope that it will get us some final backers. 

If you know any coffee shop owners, share our project with them!

Also, last week we mentioned that we will issue additional accessories to add onto your pledge. After getting it setup on Backerkit, we realized that this can only be done after the campaign ends. So stay tuned for that.

Thanks so much everyone for your support.

Hello Friends!

Thanks for helping us get one step closer to bringing our project to life! We're looking for help to spread the word about our campaign! We've opened up a referral program that allows you to grab a unique referral link to share with your friends and family. You can earn cash back for any successful referrals that come through your link (Starting at $5 for each earlybird brewer!).  

All you have to do is:  

• Head to our Booster page below and sign up to Boost our campaign  
• Copy your unique referral link  
• Share the link on your Facebook, Twitter, Blog, Website, or wherever you'd like!  
• We have found a lot more success in sending personal messages to our friends who love coffee, asking them to help bring the project to life.

Refer to your dashboard to monitor your referrals and cash back! Please note that this offer is only valid for new referrals you bring to the project and will not be valid against your original pledge. We appreciate all your help and can't thank you enough for being an early adopter on this project.

In other news, we are also putting together an inventory of accessories or Add-ons that you can purchase by upgrading your pledge! From a metal straw to a removable handle for your tumbler, we'll have you covered! ☺️ More on that next weekend!

Thanks for your support!

New Limited Reward, Improved Shipping Time and Pricing!
over 7 years ago – Mon, Nov 26, 2018 at 08:12:57 PM

Hey there Masterminds!

Thank you so much for helping us get over $10,000 USD! We have a few awesome surprises as a reward!

What we did this week:

This week has been a busy one for us. Due to the number of international orders, we made agreements with a new warehouse out of Hong Kong, and will be fulfilling all international orders from there. 

We also decided to air ship all international orders & USA-bound 'single unit' orders, reducing shipping times by 3 weeks. 

For those who ordered a bundled option (2x Brewers or greater) from the USA, you should still expect the system to arrive in May. We will be shipping that by sea to save you money.

Lastly, We have added a special limited time reward, 'BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL - 3 PACK', which gets you pretty close to the original super early bird rates! 

Summary of Improvements: 

• New Limited Reward, BLACK FRIDAY SPECIAL offers a great deal for pledge upgrades.
• International shipping just got cheaper for most people. If you already made an international order, we will automatically refund you the difference between your pledged shipping and the new shipping rate at the end of the Kickstarter.
• All international orders & Single unit USA orders will now be arriving in April.

Question for our backers: 

Do any of you know any bloggers, journalists, or coffee-loving influences, that would find this campaign interesting or worthy of a look? Can you send them the project link or have them reach out to us? The success of this project depends greatly on word-of-mouth, and if you know anyone who might apply, that would be a big help. We think the brewer would be interesting to frequent travelers, people who review outdoors-gear, and of course, coffee enthusiasts. 

Again, you all have been awesome through this and I hope you enjoy the new perks!

I will be going live tomorrow at Noon CST, so please join our session if you want to see us use the prototype live & learn more!

Thank you!

Nick O.
