Update #5: We made it! Thanks to All!

Posted on December 31

Thanks to all our supporters, as of tonight this project's a go!  Each of you has voted with your pocketbook for a better cup of coffee. We are thrilled and humbled and look forward to many exciting announcements in the weeks to come.

While our team is busy at work getting this product completed, shipped and delivered to each of you, here are four ways you can continue your efforts as a member of our extended product-launch team!

1. Tell your friends about our project - they can officially PREORDER a large Espro Press with certainty that they will receive one of the first production run, as soon as humanly possible!

2. Tell your local coffee shop and home goods store that you want them to sell the Espro Press, and that we would love to hear from them (based on our initial discussions, we already know this product is going to be sold in the four corners of the world - from North America to Brazil, Europe to Russia, Africa, Australia, Singapore and beyond).

3. Tell us who we should be selling through in your region (sometimes they don't immediately respond to consumer suggestions); we will work over the coming months to reach out to each and every one of them as we expand distribution.

4. Tell us which blogs should be talking about this product. Ask them to do so! We will too.

Thanks again for all your support. And a HAPPY NEW YEAR from the team at Espro. You all have certainly made our New Year's Eve special.

Bruce, Chris and the team at Espro

      Yes, Sweet Marias is fantastic! Contact Tom, or Maria... as Tom is often traversing the world, in search of the next great coffee bean!

      Am looking forward to seeing this product in markets. I would suggest A Southern Season in Chapel Hill. Gourmet food and kitchen gear, a huge coffee and tea bar and all the rage across RTP. It's just the place I would start to look for a product like this.
