After watching the teardown video - I really want one of these things - very impressive.

[FICO]

They will probably be available on eBay cheaply now that they are paperweights for those who bought them.

[samstave]

Actually I want more than one (I want the motor...)

Anyone have the specs on the motor specifically (and please ignore my naivete): max RPM vs power consumption -- what about the power of these motors would be preferable to those on a boosted board (or reverse)?

[abawany]

Maybe I misread but apparently the company is offering refunds up until Dec-31 to anyone who purchased one of these.

[FICO]

That doesn't mean they are going to require you to ship the machine back to them.

(I'm assuming there's tons of people who are going to miss that deadline anyway)

[abpavel]

If it's Internet-connected, it might not squeeze without an approved API call from the vendor.

[FICO]

Yes, absolutely, but it can be gutted for parts or rewired to bypass the API. The latter is not straightforward but someone did so in a video posted in these comments.

That would be some serious activation DRM for pressing juice, although it does defend their (failed) business model.

[samstave]

How many units did they MFR?

A smart person would put a bounty on all the tings they made

[trapperkeeper74]

Skookum as frig, possibly.

He had a better idea though: pass the bag between one or two rollers.
