AvE/BOLTR has quite the way with words: "pornographically beautiful"; "keep your dick in a vice"; "the path that makes the pixies dance".

One obvious error that the video kind of points out is the whole k-cup vibe. Since the revenue stream was expected to the juice packs, like diabetes testers, the main hardware should heave/could have been built and sold cheaply, since the return was expected to be from the exorbitant markup on the juice packs. Clearly, the company really didn't understand what their business model was supposed to be.

To me it just shows what idiots venture capitalists are to give this startup one dime.

Outrageously expensive juice pack is squeezed into perfect up of fresh juice with absurdly expensive and overbuilt/designed "juicer."
But wait, you can squeeze the pack by hand or with cheap-ass squeezer/tongs.

The glucose monitors for diabetics have gotten fairly complex, and have been given away for free in the past, on the assumption that the lancets and test strips have sufficiently high margin and volume to cover that cost. It's a slightly more captive audience, since few, if any, diabetics ever get to the point of not needing to monitor glucose, and it's then a lifetime thing.

RE: Juicero crash and burn - the inside story, literally.
The cost/margin problem with this machine, in my opinion, comes in large part from a non-engineer solving a relatively simple problem with a REALLY complicated mechanism.
You could build a pretty simple arrangement similar to an old laundry wringer that would do the job equally well and cost you a couple of bucks at high volume.. instead he took a less-than-ideal approach that cost a ****load of money.

RE: Juicero crash and burn - the inside story, literally.
That's not an approach that is cost effective or likely to end in an ideal result.
RE: Juicero crash and burn - the inside story, literally.
No, that's not true. The design was designed by "an award-winning[1] industrial design and branding firm." It was designed to win awards, not to be practical, or economical. Juicero's founder clearly had no clue what his business model was supposed to be (and managed to snooker VCs for $120 million) and paid for a design that people, like those in this thread, that would go, "Wow!!" when they see the machine.

The mechanism and internals were designed by the CEO, who had never designed anything before.

Or do you mean, "frig"?
Nah, never mind, get a "skookum as fig" shirt. It's even funnier that way.

This is where the Juicero would shine as it would get the most out of the figs and the fig wasps.
