Combine this with the culture of innovation made possible by platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo, and you have a potent hotbed of product development that has given rise to such runaway viral successes as the <a href=\"http:\/\/hypebeast.com\/2016\/5\/barisieur-coffee-alarm-clock\" target=\"_blank\">Barisieur coffee alarm clock<\/a>. We\u2019ve gathered five of the best crowdfunded\u00a0coffee brew kits from this year alone here\u00a0for a quick lowdown of the latest and greatest.<\/p>\n<h2>Trinity ONE<\/h2>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/126571607\" width=\"820\" height=\"547\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For the\u00a0jacks of all trades who can\u2019t settle on one way of having their coffee, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/trinityone\/the-trinity-one-a-specialty-coffee-brewer\/description\" target=\"_blank\">Trinity ONE<\/a> offers three ways of home brewing engineered into one striking design. Created by Brisbane\u2019s Mark Folker, the Trinity ONE lets the coffee aficionado press with a weighted cylinder, pour over with an opening designed to fit\u00a0paper and metal cone filters, as well as cold brew by controlling the liquid flow with the filter head. Featuring svelte kitchen-grade stainless steel\u00a0construction, a double-walled glass and Tritan chamber, and accents of American black walnut timber throughout, the Trinity ONE is a brew kit that deserves a place of honor on your kitchen bar.<\/p>\n<h2>Voltaire Grinder<\/h2>\n<p>But of course, before you can even begin to think of how to brew your coffee, you must first grind the beans. Having just finished with over $150,000 USD in crowdfunding, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/productofgir\/voltaire-a-portable-freshness-sensing-coffee-grind\/description\" target=\"_blank\">Voltaire<\/a> grinder packs a bevy of\u00a0intelligent features into a portable form factor to ensure the highest quality of coffee grounds possible.\u00a0For the weekend coffee scientist, the WiFi-enabled device senses the freshness of your beans by measuring gases emitted, temperature, humidity, bean mass and volume, and goes so far as to\u00a0automatically place a new order with your roaster when it detects your beans have staled.\u00a0\u00a0Other features include conical ceramic burrs for efficient grinding, a stepless adjustment collar to fine-tune the size of your grind, an anti-static catch cup so no particles are left over, as well as a direct bean drop to reduce heat buildup and protect delicate flavor profiles.<\/p>\n<h2>Auroma One<\/h2>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gqSNPBMAFSw\" width=\"820\" height=\"547\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you just don\u2019t want to deal with all the science and snobbery that comes with artisanal coffee. In that case, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.auromabrewing.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Auroma One<\/a> promises to cut out the learning curve with its full automation of the coffee brewing process. All it takes from the user is to put the beans inside the hopper, fill the reservoir with water and insert any readily available filter, and then hit start. An accompanying\u00a0iOS and Android app allows the user to customize the process to a T, fine-tuning variables such as temperature, coffee-to-water ratio, grind size, total coffee dissolved, and steep time. The Auroma One also has an edge over other automatic coffee machines like Nespresso, as it doesn\u2019t use the latter\u2019s capsules, thus saving on contributing more plastic waste to the world\u2019s landfills.<\/p>\n<h2>Prisma<\/h2>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Tl2-JHz6yZk\" width=\"820\" height=\"547\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The coffee world is currently swept up in an obsession with the cold brew method, which\u00a0concentrates all the subtle flavors and smoothness of coffee while leaving behind the acidity and bitterness that normally comes as part of the package. However, cold brew is notoriously time-consuming to make, requiring 12 hours\u00a0or more for the coffee to seep through the grounds and filter. The Prisma aims to change that with its ability to cold brew in 10\u00a0minutes flat, achieved thanks to a vacuum infusion process that extracts around 24 ounces of cold brew coffee. Completely automatic, the Prisma only requires the user to supply the water, coffee grounds and standard basket filter. Currently crowdfunding at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/prisma-cold-brew-coffee-technology#\/\" target=\"_blank\">Indiegogo<\/a>,\u00a0the Prisma can be pre-ordered for the early bird price of $230 USD.<\/p>\n<h2>HyperChiller<\/h2>\n<p><br \/>If you don\u2019t even have 10\u00a0minutes to spare in your morning routine, the HyperChiller has your iced coffee fix covered. The specially-designed canister can flash-cool up to 12.5 ounces of\u00a0liquid from over 130\u00b0C to a comfortable temperature in one minute. This innovative design\u00a0only requires that the inner and outer chambers be filled with water and frozen beforehand, before the coffee is poured directly onto the lid, trickling down into the central\u00a0chamber. The HyperChiller is now available <a href=\"http:\/\/hyperchiller.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">online<\/a> for $30 USD.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedproxy.google.com\/~r\/hypebeast\/feed\/~3\/m5rhCs1a3j4\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the advent of third-wave specialty coffee in the past decade, consumers of\u00a0coffee have become all the more sophisticated and demanding of only the highest quality, with even casual enthusiasts of \u201cbrown gold\u201d choosing to invest a pretty penny in specialty coffee brew kits to better control the quality and consistency of their daily drink.
