Hi Everyone!
Greetings from Bora Bora!
Well... sorry we couldn't help ourselves. In all due seriousness though, our team has been working hard on the final tweakings of Arist. As usual, our R&D lab is filled with sleep-deprived hardware engineers and spilled coffee beans all over the office floor. Fortunately, things are looking great and we are still very much on schedule for July!
We have also been working on processing refunds as of last week. Per our previous announcements on refund requests, we have received around 50 backers’ requests and our team is pushing through the last stage of finalising the refund details with these backers. More importantly, amidst the crowd asking for refund, we’ve also received several emails from backers hoping to cancel their refund requests! At this stage of our campaign, their restored faith in our project means so much to us.
That’s all for now folks! A big surprise is coming up so stay tuned for the next update!
See you soon!

Thank you for your messages. We have been reorganizing our communication team to handle all the PMs and Comments more efficiently.
On our next update will address the app support of Arist as well as the other features. Yes, you will be able to make mocha via Arist with its components. We will execute as much features as we promise in our final manufacturing model.
Thank you for your patience,
Arist Team

You make prototype but change design why it can't manufacturing. this scam project don't fake to me

I have to say that as a marketeer I have never ever in my life seen so lousy communication as you guys have shown in this campaign. You surely have no talent whatever for communication but you had luck to hock on to something people are passionated about. I do not believe that you will ever deliver anything ...

Two years isn't an excessively long time to spend developing a (reasonably complex hardware product - the consumer electronics industry has a yearly cycle, occasionally products aren't good enough and have to go back into the development system and make a comeback in a tweaked form the following year. That's what it looks like here - too many unexpected challenges the first time round, so it's taking 2y instead of 1.
And unlike some things on here, a coffee machine isn't the kind of thing that becomes obsolete, or you no longer want because a competitor released a better/faster/more-memory version - so really, it doesn't matter (for me, at least) if we get it this year or next..
I'd much rather have a good product, than have it sooner.

This is no update. Will we EVER get anything from this scam??

Glad to hear guys. Just ignore all the haters who don't understand how Kickstarter works, and keep doing what you do.
I may have missed something amidst all the hate spam; what is on track for July?

Hi Arist team,
Glad that to hear you are still alive!
Look forward to receiving a next update about status and progress. Take care

Don't Fake. They cancel that you refund only 40%. We want 100% refund. Don't fake with me
Michael Eugster am April 29, 2016
This update tells us… nothing. Please keep us seriously updated what you're working on right now and how your progress looks like.

Glad its going well!
There are so many people on here who really shouldn't be, if you cant risk loosing your money don't use Kickstarter! If you can't risk your pledge being 2 years late (assuming you get it at all) don't use kickstarter! If you are the sort of person who can't cope with updates that don't show what you want to see or say what you want to hear, don't use Kickstarter!
Phil Lindenbaum am April 29, 2016
What the hell is this shit. I want an update on the project not just crap. I want to see a working device
