Spicerr - the new peppermill beyond human stupidity.

Coming to Kickstarter soon (where else...)
Looks like a Juicero 2.0, completely pointless for what it does, requires an app, requires costly refills, costs quite some money. When all of its "functionality" is available for a tenner, and is probably present in pretty much any household.
Honestly, what were they thinking, when a "team" devoloped this product? Beyond words.

I'll be honest, I like the concept. I could see myself using something like this, but only if the end user could make/refill their own cartridges.
I agree with you that this is gonna be most likely like the Juicero, which is a shame, because conceptually it actually has some potential

Hilarious but about 100x more elegant design than the juicero.
If this was juicero level, you'd have air sealed spice bags with a miligram force sensor for dispensing and massive burr grinders designed for each spice type.

I don't want god damn engineering related management people near my food
I don't like any of these inventions that have the edible part made or related to the company that produces mechanical or even worse electronic parts. What creative way will you figure out to reduce the "BOM" on my peppercorn? :palm:
I am not even convinced that vacuum keeps it 'fresh'. Vacuum prevents parts from rusting, and people are extrapolating that its going to keep old warehoused spice good.
I use vacuum packing for food, but its hardly a miracle. It helps a little, but they say its a magic bullet.
It seems to be one of those technologies that gets way over stated in quality and results. It's not good enough that suddenly I will trust a mechanical manufacturing company with food.
And those cartridges are puny.
And who the hell pours in their splice like its soy sauce? A good spice grinder makes it 'rain' spice. Its only acceptable for sauces, soups to add it like that. Its not going to spread out good on a vegetable, meat, etc if you pour mounds of spice on it. But I don't expect the people that buy this will handle raw meat or slice a eggplant lol
However, if you are making your own spice mixes, soups or sauces, and you can dial in a value, that is useful to meter a blend. If you had 2-3 of those devices, and they can be used manually (no phone) to meter spices according to a recipe, then its useful.
However, if you are making a blend, then a spice blender is the tool to use, in order to make a good mixture. So if i was using this tool, I would actually use it to measure spice into a spice mixer (mini blender), instead of a measuring spoon. Quite rupe goldberg and ritzy. But its also low quality now, because I see their cumin and cinamon is pre ground. If you are going to bother with machinery, using pre ground cumin, coriander, peppercorn, allspice, juniper, cinnamon, nutmeg, saffron, bay leaf and quite possibly many hot peppers (chipotle, etc.. ) is criminal.*
*peppers are a bit of a exception because processing dried peppers is a circus
Good citrus zest is also a non powdered form
