Handpresso: Buy One and Ship around? Read on...

[BoldJava]

Suggestion:  Let's buy one (I will be glad to do it).  We will rotate the handpresso around among whomever chips in.  At the end of the rotation, I will randomly select winner via http://random.org.  Ron L had done this with a set of tampers.  All got to try a bunch, no one individual felt the pain.

If 10 of us, $8.86 each (unit, shipping from Idaho, Paypal), etc.  plus your cost of shipping it to the next person.  As well, we can do our reviews and post them as it wends it away around the country.  

Who is in?  Step right up.  Post your interest.  Let's hear it from you 'Presso-heads.

Game is on:  first 10 to sign up

[John F]

Count me in for a test spin. 

[yorel23]

I'll give it a go!!  

Wonder if there should be a limit to participants?  There might be 100 @ $.75 and that would be a very used prize in the end .    Just a suggestion.

[milowebailey]

sure, I'm in

[headchange4u]

I'll try it out.

Not to mention waiting 6 months to check it out...

I second the suggestion that we set a max #.

OK, let's try this on for size.  First 10 folks, or next Friday noon, whichever comes first.  
Costs?
$8.30 unit and shipping from Idaho to me
$  .56 Paypal

$8.86 each

If that seems appropriate, I would ship to John F August 22nd.  Suggest about a 7-10 day trial period, that permits each of us to play with it over a weekend.  Hold the $ for now until we agree on a number.  Regardless, closes out Friday noon if we haven't achieved 10.

Work for you?  I have ordered it from www.orphanespresso.com (a favorite vendor of mine).

  Just tell me when you want the money!!

Just tell me when you want the money!!

Thanks though, just sit tight until we get the 10 so I know the denominator with which to divide.  I think it's a good number and we will hit it this weekend.

NB for Petros:  This doesn't count to my toy total unless I win the www.random.org drawing (to be observed by a motley fine group of folk on August 21st)

B|Handpresso

P.S.  I wonder if Rasqual would do the Handpresso upside down?

[yorel23]

One question:  I know it says that it uses E.S.E. pods.  Is there any way to use our own coffee in it ?  If not, I guess we each need to order some pods to test it out?  Anyone know of any good pods?  Illy maybe?  Never used the things before.  Can you make your own??  I know, more than one question......

Dave,

Count me in! A new adventure........  Jim

Looks like there is a domepod version where you use your own coffee:

Do we need to reorder??

Edit:  Some sites are showing that model not available until November .  

Edit II:  It appears you can buy it from Handpresso though.  They appear to be overseas.  Don't know what shipping would be.  Another link:

Thanks Yorel.  I just caught those.  I will toss up a survey and see if we should wait till this winter.  Majority rules and folks can back out.
