The smartphone-controlled digital coffee roaster

It looks like a hotair popcorn popper with some controls and a sleek plastic shell attached.  For the low initial Kickstarter price of almost $ 700.  I will pass.

Capacity is limited to 60 grams of greens as well. The idea is nice but at $700 it is a bit overpriced. By comparison the new Behmor connected will still allow you to roast 500 grams+/- and I think pricing is set for around $450? Not sure who they are aiming the marketing at for the Kickstarter.

It sounds like a great idea whose time will never come because of the price.

I have looked at this post a few different times because I think it's talk about the Behmor update. Only news I have seen on it is for an update kit for the Behmor should be under 180 per Facebook post.
