Argos Update: April 13, 2022

Hello All! I had a great time at my first SCA Expo in Boston this past weekend. While I didn’t have a booth, it was great meeting everyone in person, chatting with other manufacturers, and getting a feel for future booth ideas.

Hardware

Double spouted portafilter samples arrived the other week and look great! I’ve done some testing on them and will be moving forward with production. These will ship with the same 18g basket that the bottomless portafilters have. Product photos of these are on the website in the store.

We put out our first (very rough) shop tour video on YouTube. This will document progress as the shop continues to come together. These videos will get better, I promise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pve0ti60cdQ

I’m still behind on emails so I appreciate everyone’s patience.

Product packaging samples have been ordered from 3 of the top identified suppliers to validate materials, graphics printing, and quality.

We’ve got a first pass at the User Manual and now working with the graphic designer to get diagrams made.

Software

We worked out a deal with Acaia and have purchased 1 of each of their scales to have them all integrated with our app.

We have a call set up with Hiroia to kick off integration with the Jimmy scale.

I spoke to a Eureka rep at Expo about their new Precisa scale (currently only available in Europe). Will hopefully get that added to the list in the future after they certify it.
