Flair launch Kickstarter for new espresso maker

I don’t know about the second part of your question, but there’s no hits for “weight,” “lbs” or “kg” in that page

Yeah. Shipping and taxes does make it a bit more expensive outside of the US

Also, I found their first couple of paragraphs kind of disjointed:

"For most people, a great cup of espresso is associated with a cafe, a trained barista, and a large piece of expensive equipment. Options for brewing at home are scarce and pricey, and the ability to have your favorite espresso drink - on the GO - is even more difficult to come by.

But, for so many of us, our morning espresso is the fuel we need to take on our biggest challenges. It’s the way we greet our day, the comfort that raises us from our beds, hotel rooms, campsites and places far from home. Why should we settle for less, right at the exact moment we need the boost to be our best?"

You're literally trying to sell me an on-the-go espresso maker, and then make a comparison that basically suggests we're already making espresso in all of these places. Did an LLM write this or something? XD

All that being said, I do think the product looks neat. I don't really care that they made a pod capable version, but I'd be interested to see a review of this unit. Somebody link a James Hoffman video when he inevitably makes one. Lol
