Pricing hidden 19 layers deep, behind account creation, is irritating as hell.
Justin Kellerer
@shloky what was the price?
Shlok Vaidya
@justin_k I stopped caring at account creation. According to a TechCrunch article its $699. #SaveADozenClicks

@shloky Also no hinting at how much the packs cost
Justin Kellerer
@shloky wow. That seems really expensive for a machine that squeezes a bag. Maybe it does more, but the site does not give much detail.
Akshay Patel
@ebesser $8-$10 for an 8 Oz. serving pack. It was in a NYT article. Like others, agree the lack of upfront pricing is a poor choice.

I have some friends that will be really excited to try/buy this (I'm not a big juice fan). According to @ajs' article in BI, Jony Ive and Yves Béhar from Apple had a hand in the design. More details in the video:

@rrhoover @ajs Ryan, did you know that you can add juice to La Croix? ;-)
Ryan Hoover
@uxandrew THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

@rrhoover @ajs this video is the Donald Drumft of marketing videos.

@rrhoover @ajs New dreams of juicing every day emerging from great video : ) Dreams crushed when finding out price : (

$699 for the juicer and $5-7 for each glass of juice, well, it's expensive. I'll stick to my $50 juicer and $20/week veggies

After reading some articles on the internet. I didn't found a lot of studies talking about the lyophilisation of the vegetables. I was wondering if all the nutritional values stays the same and if the process doesn't modify the chemistry of the vegetables. Your product seems good but if finally you drink something worst than a real vegetables juices with daily product, what's the point? Do you have any studies talking about it?

Not convinced that people will go for a $700 juicer in addition to the recurring cost of juice packs. Love the video and the marketing behind it though!
David A Friedeberg
@chaserson Holy @#$%!! $700??
Melissa Volkmann
@chaserson - Agreed. I accepted the higher price point for the packs, because y'know I hate cleaning. But then I saw the cost of the machine when I was signing up. What a shame.

while I appreciate the focus on convenience, not being able to use my own blend of fresh, local produce is not exactly a feature.

Nothing for the WasteWatchers.

The pain point for at-home juicing is definitely convenience, but environmentally speaking (which is way more important than a solution to our laziness) this is Keurig 2.0. At $699, I'm also just another annoying commenter and not a buyer.

Also, why is it wifi-ready? Are they planning some deeper IoT integration where this ridiculously expensive pouch-squeezer orders the pouches for you?
(ᵔᴥᵔ)✌
Seriously is this an April Fools thing? A 700 dollar bag squeezer that only squeezes its own bags!? This is the antithesis of progress.
