Busy times in the Odyssey world. I apologize for missing last weeks update. I was at a conference the week prior and attempting to catch up on everything. With the lease started on the new space, we’re working on filling the shop with the necessary equipment to get started on early assembly steps. It’ll likely take several weeks to get everything purchased and moved in before we can officially start hiring assembly technicians.

In case you missed it, there was a lovely article and interview posted on Coffee Geek the other week which you can find below. We’re always grateful for all the support around this new product!
