Anyone seen this yet? Very intriguing.

Built in battery-powered burr grinder.

I like the idea of a battery powered grinder....although a hand grinder for travel single cups isn't really a big deal.

A bit pricey though.  I'm not sure it's worth $100 to me.I'd rather have a grinder that just fit down in my hario cone.

It is interesting, but I would never buy one either. The way I see it, the hot water is more of an issue. Traveling anywhere where there is 120v power would allow a small electric kettle to be brought ( like the bonavita travel kettle). Carrying a small forgiving pour over cone, impress, or aeropress with a handgrinder and the kettle would allow good coffee to made anywhere where there is power.

What?  Me worry?

Patti, your post has some funny symbols, little squares w/ 01F 61D in them.  I'm curious about that.

Looks exactly the same.

When I visit the site via my phone, the squares are circles.
