I give you... ALCHEMA



https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alchema/alchema-turn-fruit-into-personalized-craft-cider

Somewhere between "throwing your rotten fruit away" and "getting blasted on rubbing alcohol," there exists a magical fantasy land in which you can utilize those expensive-rear end pomegranates your kids won't eat to get ripped in the middle of the day! ALCHEMA is your own personal small-batch cider maker! Simply add fruit, sugar, and water of your own choosing, pop in one of the handy yeast packets, and then let that poo poo hang out on your counter for a week (or 16) and entertain your friends with your own terrible Cidre!



ALCHEMA is actually kind of a cool idea until you realize they're shooting for a mostly unattainable millenial ideal - one in which you have infinite free time and money to spend on fresh fruits for your hyper-advanced five gallon bucket, and not the far more realistic scenario in which you drunkenly stuff a bunch of old moldy bananas in the thing and frantically push the button before stumbling into your bathroom to polish off the mouthwash and pass out in the shower.

Amazing. If only I had one of these in jail

No, Officer, actually I'm just a coffee enthusiast...

So, as best I can gather, this is like a lovely single-serving french press without the press part. You use a reusable metal filter to make sure you're not just drinking straight up coffee grounds through your weird meth straw. They somehow managed to come up with a less efficient method than a french press :cripes:

This dude looks hilarious but at least no one gave him $120 friggin MILLION like the Juicero crazy hippie. He is seriously insane, watch some of his interviews. He believes fruits have magical chi power and auras that he can see, feel, and capture. How he walked away out of a pitch with a bunch of suits with a $120 million dollar check after bullshitting about fruits and their chi aura for an hour is unbelievable to me. Like I would be hesitant to give even $10 to a random crazy hippie for some invention he cooked up.

He didn't walk away with a $120 million check after one pitch. He got several millions from several pitches to several investors

You know, it just occurred to me, wouldn't heating a naked copper pan to heat coffee cause some amount of the copper to leak into the drink itself? I'm pretty sure copper toxicity is a bad thing.

The issue with copper pots/etc isn't heat; it's acid- and coffee is acidic, ~5 ph. Most copper cooking implements are lined w/ tin or steel; I don't know if this one is.

It also depends on whether or not there's any kind of coating on the copper. I mean, since this thing looks like it's made in the closet next to a meth lab I assume there isn't, but I know it's generally frowned upon to smoke things out of copper pipes, so I assume that applies to drinking coffee you cook with a blowtorch out of them also.

also lmao at googling "don't smoke a copper pipe" and one of the search suggestions is "Can you smoke crack out of a copper pipe" like dude I think you have bigger issues.

Watching that Ottawa morning show interview - nothing about that contraption looks remotely convenient or easy-to-use.

Needs a pocket blowtorch (no sissy Bic lighter).
Requires fussing around with measuring coffee/water ratio.
Requires careful attention to the thermometer.
Be careful to not touch any of the copper, it has excellent heat transfer properties - also don't toss into your backpack after your mid-morning coffee break after use.

Just eat the beans whole like an animal if you're that desperate for a quick caffeine fix.

I don't have any basis by which to evaluate the actual methodology, but I really appreciate the gung-ho attitude of this guy, who has cleverly titled his Kickstarter "A Condensed Vacuum Coffee or Tea Extracting Device." It seems so strange when put up against things like the Bripe that have this huge hipster marketing push.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present to you the ultimate innovation in food science. They said it was impossible. They called him a madman. They said he was spitting in the face of a benevolent God. But Mark Murray wasn't going to let any of that stop him from creating THE HAMDOG.



Apparently this poo poo is old news in the rest of the world, but it's the first I've ever heard of it and it's loving incredible, and it's coming to a truckstop near you, soon. I'd go so far as to say it's a goddamn gamechanger. Check this poo poo out:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hamdog/worlds-first-hamdog-restaurant-new-york-city-usa?ref=category_popular

quote:

It all started late one November night in 2004. Creator Mark Murray had just walked out of a downtown Nashville bar, to grab a bite to eat. On the sidewalk was a hotdog van, and across the road, a hamburger cart. Mark was faced with the dilemma of choosing either a hamburger, or a hotdog. Hungry and unsure, he grabbed one of each. As he was then being driven home, he started eating both his burger and hotdog at once, taking one bite at a time out of each. He then turned to the driver saying "These taste good together, be easier to eat it if they just joined em together!" What came next....

In the following days, the idea of combining these two popular fast foods occupied Marks mind constantly. Finally putting pen to paper, he created his Hamdog™ bun idea. Now the then 39 year old Entrepreneur was no dummy when it came to ideas. He already had an "Australian Government Innovators Award" under his belt and had created numerous successful products and businesses from scratch.

Mark spent weeks researching the possibility of bringing his idea to market. Though two things challenged him. One, that it maybe a bit ahead of it's time. Two, if it was publicly accepted, it could be copied.

This poo poo is blowing my mind right now.
