I will definitely grab one of these when they become available. I love my clever plastic and all but porcelain would be a nice upgrade.
Interesting comments on the video, one user accuses Bonavita of copying other companies ideas. I like Kat's response.....
"Your assessment is inaccurate; they offered a coffee maker in the US that could not be offered because of brand issues (Melitta) and they offered this after discussing it with the co. that produced it in plastic co-signed their production of it in a non-plastic format (which is important to some people). We support innovation, creativity and authentic business practices. Period. Don't tell me who I should support unless you plan to perform the same level of research that I do. - Kat"
To me it appears like Kat proves this accuser's point when she says that Bonivita contacted the other company and had it co-sign their production. If it was not a copy, why would it be necessary to contact the company that produced it in plastic? I really do not understand Kat's rebuttal. The way I see it CCD was a copy as well. I am not positive which came first but it looks like Bonivita copied CCD, who copied InguniTEA.
I believe it is a copy but who cares. When was the last time you saw a truly original product anywhere in America? Apple is always praised for their ingenuity but all they do is rip off others products and improve them. Don't get me wrong, I am typing this on my iPad, but look at their products. The Mac is just and improved PC. The iPod is no more than an MP3 player with a big hard drive. The iPad is just a better version of the tablet PC. And the great iPhone? I had a Samsung years before Apple produced a phone that was suppose to do all the same things.
To me it is a complete copy of the CCD which is a copy of the InguniTEA, or possibly the other way around. If it was not for companies improving on others ideas, we would not have any of the products that we consider great. Yes, I would be interested in a road show.
