The Big Day is Here and More...
Hi Everyone!
In addition to our big event today, we’ve got some exciting news to share with you all!
First things first, the Arist App is here! The companion iOS app is now released on the Apple App Store. Download the app for free today and take a sneak peak at Arist’s brewing process and how it works! The Arist App allows users to customise and brew their coffee with Arist, and to explore the exciting world of coffee beans and recipes, right in the palm of your hand!
We are also thrilled to announce the Arist trade-in scheme.
Moving forward, Arist will adapt the trade-in scheme offered by the renowned electric car manufacturer, Tesla.
As a token of our appreciation to all our Kickstarter backers, who've been our greatest supporters from the beginning, you will receive an Arist Professional, with estimated retail value of US$1500, as your Kickstarter reward. You will also enjoy a special trade-in arrangement and receive a 100% free upgrade for the next 2 generations of Arist Home machines!
But wait, there’s more!
Regular Arist owners can now trade-in an older model of Arist for the next version of Arist at 70% off the retail price. Yup, that’s right, all buyers can now give us their old Arist and bring home a better and shinier one with a 70% rebate!
Who else is excited for what’s to come for Arist? I know we are!
See you all at the event!

App looks a good start, but thought there was meant to be the option of creating your own recipes or adjusting them to suit? Changing the milk temperature and cup size is all well and good, but what if we want to customise a particular recipe to use a different bean or alter the taste profile? Is this going to be added to the app too?

I am quite surprised that at least 4 backers ( including me ) went to the event. But there was no priority in the Q&A section for backers. All questions are raised by journalists. In fact someone who backed and wanted to share some support, was too late to raise his hand.
Anyway the show can be arranged better.

I'm baffled. What the hell are they talking about ? What's Arist Pro ? What's Arist Home ? Which one will we get ?

Does a free upgrade for the next 2 generations mean that we will get 2 machines for free then for the next years? or what does a free upgrade mean?

I can't stop laughing with my 1$ pledge. Best 1$ spent ever.

Does the video seem to cut of very suddenly for anyone else? Anyway, I hope we get to see more of the machine actually working now the event is over. For those curious a reporter from SCMP was at the even posted two photos here https://twitter.com/alicemuwu/status/707095300817555458 and here https://twitter.com/alicemuwu/status/707100811868790784

Wait... upgrade plans for a product that doesn't even exist? Now that's forward thinking.

Wow, I am staying in the event and wondering who will swap the home version back for the Pro version that is shipped to we backers.... by disabling the Pro by some online magic ???
