This is the first time I've seen something I wanted to unsupport. Like, you bid a number and, if they still reach their goal, they have to pay you that amount.

God damn people, squeeze a lump of dough and fry it for a second. You don't need a robot for this, especially not a robot that only makes coasters.
Or, y'know, go buy them at a store.

Does it even count as a robot? it looks like a cooking device.
It is the next evolutionary step of the Kitchenbot.
Heh.

Now I'm imagining a Kitchenbot Kickstarter.

That was painful to watch. Jesus Christ.  Was one of the award levels to make your kid into an indigo child and a free trip to get a chelation  therapy to remove vaccines?

Aren't they the ones who made drm for their coffee maker so they could get away with that?

Probably. K-cups are dumb enough, I wouldn't put it past them to do something even dumber.

They don't even make a good cup of coffee either, by my standards.

By any standards really, Though they're technically almost completely recyclable if you bother pulling the cup apart, removing the metal and paper, and discarding the Soggy filter. People use those things for convienence so who is going to bother?

They're nearly as bad as badgers. Build a couple of anti-buzzard SAM sites marksdwarf towers and your fortress will look like Baghdad in 2003 from all the aerial bolt spam. You waste a lot of ammo and everything is covered in unslightly exploded buzzard bits and broken bolts.

I have a reusable metal filter cup for the k-cup machine at work since they don't have a proper coffee machines. I just put my own coffee in it and it makes a single cup

It's just not enough grounds for a good cup of coffee. Ends up tasting like fast food watered down coffee. I even put my own beans in there, and it was so weak I put the thing away and went to use an Aero Press.

They can make half-decent tea though.

There's really nothing wrong with a French press, except the coffee is rather not hot enough by the time it's brewed sufficiently, but I always heat the milk to go with it anyway.

I like a French Press when I'm not the one making it.

I like hot chocolate when it's got 4 shots of espresso in it.

Until it gets cold.
