Here are some of their winning answers to the question we posed: 2023 was the year of grinders. What will 2024 be the year of? And what would you like it to be the year of?
"2024 will be the year of smart espresso machines for a decent (haha) price! I’m looking forward to my Meticulous and hope for more options."
"Year of innovation: mixing and matching the best ways of making coffee, and producing new type of coffee makers"
"Smarter espresso machines! Machines like Meticulous will push the industry towards an increasingly data driven approach to espresso - and I'm all for it."
"2024 I want it to be a year of roasters, as during COVID a lot of coffee lovers turned to home roasting. It will be interesting to see a comparison of small to medium size roasting machine."
"All kinds of brewers. Love the pipe one"
"Hacking espresso machines"
"2024 will be the year of WDT exploration! I honestly tried spraying 4 squirts of water to my coffee bean for that longer extraction, and it works!"

2024-01-17 11:00:20 +0000 UTCfunny that the 064s will have gone from Singapore to the UK, starred in a review, and then gone back to Singapore sooner than most of the kickstarter backers' units will have arrived
