Hey all,
I'm Nick, and I'm a barista. I'm also a mechanical engineer. The more I worked in coffee, the more I realized that some machines weren't being properly taken care of; so I decided to try and make a tool to help get baristas motivated to start taking better care of their equipment.
I worked up a prototype of something I called the Portakey. Some people seemed pretty amped on it, so I decided to try to take it to production. In order to do that I launched a Kickstarter.
I need to let everyone know that I'm not making a bunch of money off of this. At best I'll break even. If I am out of bounds on this board PLEASE let me know and I'll remove this post. I am only out to get feedback and see if people like what I'm trying to make.
You can check it out here with full images and the story:
Thanks for your time,
Nick
