Apparently there are 5 coffee shops around me that have a Ripple Maker. What should my first Ripple be? 🤔 EDIT: As per @rrhoover's request, I went to try it out! Got myself a PH kitty latte but felt very bad drinking it afterward. 😋 More photos here.

Matt Gardner

Jack Dweck

This is amazing.

I'm so sad that I missed ordering one of these in the first batch.

I saw this at CE Week NYC. Very slick device that really works. It's supposed to be a commercial appliance, but I could totally see this as a high-end consumer device too. I certainly want one.

Subscriptions are eating the world. It feels like soon I will have a subscription to my washing machine.

@hunterwalk - maybe you can spice up your infamous coffee pics?

This is truly mind-blowing! The business opportunities here are endless. From a new real life ad network that consumers could even actually like (if managed correctly of course), to a fully personal experience provided by coffee shops to increase loyalty. Nice work guys!

@yonidariel conferences cud set it up and offer a package to get companies logo as one of the option for customers to choose, add analytics to show brand loyalty. Even for new product launches, add images of the cool products from different tables and measure customers recall from the event. Ah So many possibilities!

I think that this is going to be great for trade show exhibitors. And I like that it doesn't mess with the coffee.

So awesome! I'd love to get one and just open it up the the web, wonder what people would print on my coffee :)

I want a coffee machine that generates GIFs in your coffees. Can somebody make this possible? :o
Aamer Jomaa
@rogerh1991 I can do this. I just need a small loan of 1 million dollars.
Roger Huang
@aamerjomaa Would you settle for $1 and a Klondike bar?

@rogerh1991 do I get to eat it while I work?
Roger Huang
@aamerjomaa @rogerh1991 The bar vests according to a four-year schedule. You can eat 1/4 of the bar after a year, then 1/48 for each following month until you get your full bar allotment

I think it is awesome and at the same time completely crazy. You know how the question when building a business is "what big problem are you solving?" I don't think this solves any "problem" but there is sure a market. Pretty cool.

I dislike how you have to buy the machine then buy a subscription to use the machine. It kinda ruins the product, but none the less. The product itself is amazing.

What a fantastic product! I'm just reading "Contagious" by Jonah Berger, about how to create buzz. This is definitely something that sets a coffee shop apart from others. Love @michaelbabich idea of printing ads on it. :D
Charles Roels
This is at the same time so cool and so frigging useless it makes me angry.
Angel Botto
omg this is so cool, but seriously? jaja
Olga Annenko
Great stuff, if I had a coffee shop, I would definitely buy this machine. You can get a huuuuuge competitive advantage just by using it:)
Ally Golan
Genius!

Very cool! Coffee-as-a-service!

Get your own Zuckerberg latte!

@rrhoover Wonder how soon bars would start selling ADs on coffee)) Perfect consumer contact!
Dan Rosenshain
@michaelbabich oh no. drinking an ad - now that's a new low.
Michael Babich
@danr_4 @rrhoover Actually, it depends on an AD. If it recommends me a cake or to drink water after the coffee, it's pretty useful. May be not so healthy in the first example though. Anyway, it's better than Zuk photo on my coffee :)
Michael Babich
@rrhoover New AD model for bars & brands — give coffee with brand AD on it for free. Everybody win: the brand gets consumer contact, bar gets money, consumer gets free coffee.
Colin Pirillo
@michaelbabich @rrhoover ads in your coffee? These days, I wouldn't be surprised! I must say it would be a good medium for advertisement, with the brand staring you right in the face until you sip it up...
