They are just trying to copy the coffee pod people. It could still become a thing.

But the Keurig is turning a small amount of raw material (coffee grounds) into lots of coffee. I don't understand how the Juicero is different than bottled juice.

Lots of people buy expensive juicers with the idea that they will drink more delicious healthy fresh juice. But then they never use them because it is a hassle. This way they can pretend that they are getting fresh juicer-style juice.

> different than bottled juice

Maybe no different than Suja or something like that. But they charge $8/bottle - so maybe Juicero is cheaper in the long run, even with the wildly overpriced dispenser.

Juicero packs are $7-10, and are smaller.

In addition, you can get ready-to-drink fruit juices in larger quantities at your local megamart.

Note that the Juicero does not actually do anything other than open a packet and pour into a glass.

Americans spend $10+ billion per year on homeopathy. I don't think this product is targeted to people who value substance over style.

That's astounding if true. Normally I wouldn't ask for sources but if you have one please share!

We need a steep pollution tax on bs like coffee pods.
