Dear Coffee Changers,  

we are happy to have gotten this far down the road to build your roast grind brew coffee machine. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your continuous support! Also the trade network, from crop to cup, that you backed some time ago: we won't be able to this without your support! The time it took for the enabler, our hardware, was much longer than expected. You know how much we would have loved to deliver on time!

Now, some of you may ask: WHEN will you get the device?

As we speak, we have entered the mass production. As such, the machines are of an amazing quality and all show-stoppers are overcome. We are proud to say: CES test was a success! 

Yet, our production mantra is "1st time right!". Part of which are usability, live time endurance and multiple country approbation. Hence, current mass production units are used to accomplish just that. Every batch of currently a hundred units each goes straight into QA to make sure we really hit the nail on the top when shipping your unit down the road. 

BUT WHEN will this be? 

Currently our project plan estimates that the mass production comes to a shippable version in summer - of course we'd love to give a date and time but our history proofed us wrong too many times: we rather show you recent news and keep you in the loop. Online and using those emails. 

One more WHEN: 

We are lucky to have you: beta testers will be the first to ship and we will have an interaction flow with our R&D team in Shenzhen designed & ready for you to learn from you so we even better enhance the experience and performance of our Bonaverde Berlin RGB. Those ship not too long from now when we solved basic liability issues around that. 

We'll take the next days to show more details of our project plan. 

And again: it is a plan. 

All the best from Berlin

      WHERE IS MY MACHINE that I suppose to receive in Q4 2013? I think that before supply your 100.000 units to distributors, you should honor who backed your project in 2013. This is what every serious company do.

      "We've entered mass production" and "we will ship in many months". That's an interesting redefinition of being in mass production.

      Just on a whim a local engineer in my neighborhood built a roast grind brew tower in a couple months. It's pretty tasty.
      we'll be testing your machine against it and possibly a huky if/when.

      Two year 4 months and 681K dollars late and you still do not have a machine. Do you really think we would be so stupid to believe that any corporation would want to BUY Bonaverde? It has absolutely no credibility, a huge liability, and a piece of plastic crap that smokes. I will have grandchildren before (if) you ship.

      Hallo Bonaverde Team,

      Wie kann ich euch meine neue Adresse zukommen lassen, da ich mittlerweile umgezogen bin?

      Danke und Gruß,

      How quickly will you be refunding those of us who have been asking for a refund for two years?

      As long as I can roast my own beans like we were promised, I'm looking forward to it.

      But a plan is living and needs continous updates, otherwise it's just a joke.
