>>61023389
Next time create a juicero general

>>61025426
Cleaning a blender can be a pain.
If you want to do it regularly you don't want it to take as long to clean as it does to make the juice.

Still doesn't justify the $400 juicer or the monthly subscription to juice packets where you still throw away most of the nutrition but it answers the question why people are willing to go for it.

>>61025479
>Cleaning a blender can be a pain.

no it isn't. you just rinse it out 3 times. you rinse the cutting board once. You rinse your knife once then brush it one time with a sponge then wipe down with dry cloth.

it really literally takes 2 minutes I do it every morning.

>>61025531

it was doin pretty well before the hand squeeze scandal.

it solves the problem "how do i get juice without having to do any work for it" and people will pay $6 a glass for it.

Given that people regularly pay as much or more for juice/coffee, this doesn't seem so far fetched.

>>61026025
It really was? That sounds unbelievable to me. But then again, consumers are stupid, especially those with too much money.
>Given that people regularly pay as much or more for juice/coffee
Who the fuck pays $5 for 200ml of juice? I consider the innocent juices to be too expensive and they're like 3€ a litre.

>>61026073
>I consider the innocent juices to be too expensive and they're like 3€ a litre.

first of all, this is actually fresh juice, so not comparable to your plebeain bottled shit.

second of all this is a hi-tech magical fresh juice pressing machine with 4 gigaton or whatever pressure.

thirdly people in SF pay $10 for a cheese sandwich at an 'artisan bakery' so $6 for juice is par for the course

fourthly companies buy them and they just put in on the perk account or w/e

>>61026151

People pay $10 for a sandwich in SF because the 300 sq ft shop space costs $10,000/month to rent

>>61025860
>How did they get the idea that this product would ever turn profitable.
Subscription based juice packets.

It literally won't squeeze anything but their juice packets due to the code reader and Internet connection and they can cut you off at any time if they figure out you are subverting the system.

If you spend $400 on the machine you will probably self justify the subscription because otherwise that $400 would be a waste, so they sell you $1 bags of fruity bits for $6 each and after a year or so they make back the cost of the machine.

>>61026231

Well thx for your input

do you think juice shop and grocery stores that sell juiceable materials do not take up any space?

>no jelly fridge
/g/ had changed.

>>61026025
>it solves the problem "how do i get juice without having to do any work for it
Yeah, except pre-pressed juice already solves that problem without needing a $400 machine, with literally no downsides.

>>61026151
>first of all, this is actually fresh juice, so not comparable to your plebeain bottled shit.
The fruit in the packs isn't any more fresh than the juice in bottles.

>>61026439

>pre-pressed

why not just drink fermented cat piss?

>>61026455

it is probably more fresh because bottled juice have shelf-life in months but the juicero pack is weekly

>>61023389
What is that?

>>61026151
>this is actually fresh juice
No it's not. It's just differently bottled. If anything it's a sifted, bottled smoothie.
>hi-tech magical fresh juice pressing machine
yeah it is and it'd be a nice proof of concept, but just look at all that metal and craftsmanship going into a damn juice press.
>thirdly people in SF pay $10 for a cheese sandwich at an 'artisan bakery'
Yeah but people actually do something there. Of course the juicero infrastructure costs money as well, but it should be far less per customer than what a business in the food industry has to raise.
>fourthly companies buy them and they just put in on the perk account or w/e
I'd unironically prefer a little fridge with some bottles of juice and possibly some other shit. It's faster and if I want 400ml of juice I can just take the bottle with me instead of having to leave my place twice.

I know that you're kinda baiting, but I can't see any reason to buy this piece of perfectly engineered junk.

>>61026265
>Subscription based juice packets.
If the Juicero was to become a hit, there'd be cheap knockoffs within a couple of weeks, maybe months. I doubt that the average customer could taste a difference between juicero juice and Aldi storebrand knockoff-shit. Nespresso works so well because their coffee actually tastes different and better from what most people know.
Except for companies buying it, they'd lose the customer market in no time. If the thing was considerably cheaper and the juice cheaper they'd have a chance, but the juice probably has to be so expensive, since I think it's quite possible that they're making a hefty minus on the machine itself.

>>61026637
>No it's not.

yes it is

>but just look at all that metal and craftsmanship

craftmanship? engineers just sent off files and a machine made it. there's no 'craftmanship'. also you are a pleb if you think things are to good for you. just go be a pleb some wher else.

>but it should be far less per customer than what a business in the food industry has to raise.

"muh sysvinit" is the usual counter-argument of systemd trolls, but it's utterly false.
At the time systemd came to be, only Debian was still using sysvinit (and their scripts were really advanced).
Fedora and Ubuntu already used Upstart, Gentoo ran on OpenRC, Slackware has bsdinit, etc.
So saying it's either systemd or sysvinit is a false dilemma designed to trick people into systemd.

It is WAY worse. Apparently the thing has a QR code scanner and NEEDS to be connected to a smartphone and the Internet.

The QR code scanner is needed to stop you from using third party juice packages and packages which are past their expiration date.

Also the thing once cost $699 and you can literally squeeze the packages you buy faster by hand.

First, is the idea of selling pulp instead of juice.

Second, DRM for fucking pulp.

Third, IoT for fucking pulp.

Fourth, horrendous over-engineering for squeezing fucking pulp. The teardowns online are glorious, it costs $400 and is still probably a loss leader.

Fifth, the entire idea of cold pressing fucking pulp is retarded. The reason for cold pressing over centrifugal juicing is the "motor heat destroys nutrients". Even if that were true just Jack Lalanne slightly more fruits and veggies to compensate.

Sixth, the entire idea of juicing is retarded in the first place. The solid bits contain the majority of the nutrients and fiber. Just buy a fucking blender and drink the fucking pulp.

Juicing is a waste of time. We don't eat fruit and vegetables for micronutrients (they have, but not in overblown quantities that people think they have) we eat mostly for the fiber.

>>61033224
Well, you have to take everything apart as well.
Because there is a DC motor that locks the front door, so you can't even get it open to begin with unless you either connect it to the Net or tear it apart.

Then you have the issue that you need that door closed to press anything, because you press against it, so you either need to be able to toggle that DC motor as well or take off all the face area so that you can slide your crushables between the door and the press plate, of course this will limit what you can put in there, and you will need to hold or secure what you are going to crush as well or it will just fall through.

Basically, while activating the motor is as simple as connecting two wires, actually modding it so you can crush anything you want takes a lot more work.

It's like 800 dollars and all it does is squeeze the pre-filled bags that you could literally squeeze with your hand and get 95% of the amount of juice.

>If the Juicero was to become a hit, there'd be cheap knockoffs within a couple of weeks, maybe months
No, there wouldn't. They use always-online DRM. No Internet, no juice. The only ways to bypass it would be either redirecting all network traffic to a hacked DRM server (good luck with that, the machine auto-updates without asking the user) or taking the machine apart and replacing the circuit board.

>>61034436
And some sort of controller to cut off the motor when it can't press further

>>61034474
Well, good thing that it doesn't have any particularly complicated machinery inside, there's just 2 plain DC motors and a couple of Hall sensors, so you can nigger-rig an Arduino with a couple relays or even a fixed logic circuit to control it.

Or the knockoffs just use their own presses, like the Nespresso knockoffs. The knockoff presses would also be substantially cheaper, as these wouldn't be completely overengineered.

If the juicero showed that there's a market for this shit, they'd get rekt within a matter of months. There's no way they can price their product competitively. A competitiors product could easily be sold for less than $99, probably even as cheap as $49.
With the infarstructure of a discounter the fruit packs could also be sold at a much more competitive price point.

Their product is shit, there's no sugarcoating it. Even if it succeeded, it would've failed in the long run.

It can be as high or low tolerance as you want, you can have a precision ground screw custom made it just go to home Depot and get a mass produced rolled acme screw, made the same way they make generic 60 degree thread bolts.

roughly 0.7 kwh per litre of water boiled (probably more if boiling on the hob over an electric kettle and gas hobs will be different), about 0.15 in whatever local currency for electricity, about 3.5 litres of water to drink and cook with per person per day, about 11.2 of your local currency per month per person which is just the extra additional cost of boiling the water before consuming it

this might go up if you decide to double boil your water for something like pasta rather than just getting the water up to a boil first then start to cook in it but it depends on how crazy op's mom is
