Argos Update: March 31, 2022

Another short and quick weekly update. Anyone with experience in product design that is interested in helping out with some final odds and ends please reach out.

Hardware

Double spouted portafilter samples had a slight delay but are expected to arrive early next week. Below is a picture of the samples sent by the supplier before they shipped.

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

Large shop shelves have been installed and started organizing production parts that have arrived.

The first pass at packaging graphics has been completed and samples will be ordered from 3 suppliers to compare quality.

I’m working with a technical writer on the User Manual that will ship the the units. This is intended to get people started off while more extensive content and videos will exist online.

The supplier manufacturing our bottomless portafilters have mentioned that they need more time and pushed the shipping date back to April 14th. Some more delays and schedule slip are inevitable so I will do my best to keep everyone updated as best as I can.

Software

The Skale 2 has been integrated to the app.

We just heard from Hiroia and are trying to get them to agree to work with us for getting their Jimmy scale on the Argos app. If you own or are interested in Hiroia compatibility, you could help us out by sending them a message on social media mentioning that you would like their scale on our app.

Thanks,

Ross Ainsworth
