About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words. Perfected Elegant Simplicity How did you come up with the idea for this product? While living in a tiny Paris apartment, surrounded by great food and art, Iwas disheartened by the burned coffee poured out of moka pots used in almostevery home. I said to myself that there is a need for a micro sized devicethat produces great espresso shots as good as those from the great levermachines. The Nomad is the realization of this vision. Traditional espressomachines for home or for business are exceedingly big, heavy, complex,expensive, and difficult to use. Home machines produce inferior results andthey still occupy too much precious countertop space in those tiny Parisapartments. The Nomad has a small foot print, needs no electricity, operatesmanually, and produces optimal brewing conditions time after time withoutfrustrating failures. Even users with no espresso making experience cansuccessfully make great espresso shots, right away the very first time theyput their hands on the Nomad. What makes your product special? For some users it is the stunning design (“an absolute work or art”). Forothers it is the ease of use and the quality of espresso produced (“My opinionis the espresso is better than most espressos in cafes, hotels orrestaurants”). For others it is the combination of everything that creates theNomad Experience (“If perfection is possible….that’s my Nomad”). The Nomadworks and looks like nothing before it. It is a completely new design conceptthat defines a whole new coffee making experience. The Micro Leverarchitecture is a radical rebirth of the classic lever machine thatminiaturizes and simplifies the whole concept while retaining the bestfeatures of the manual lever water pump. A water pump directly operated byhands enables live monitoring and instant control of the brewing pressure,which yields superior results. However, trained expertise in the precisegrinding and tamping techniques is required to pull a successful shot ofespresso with the classic lever machines. To get rid of the trainingrequirement and make it easier for the novice users, we invented the TrueCrema Valve, which compensates for grinds and tamping variations to assure aperfect emulsification of beneficial oils that makes up the beautiful crema ofan espresso shot. The Nomad is simply the most dramatic development in manuallever espresso machines in over 50 years. It has a completely new look, feel,size and operation. As users pump the lever, watch the pressure gauge, adjustthe pumping speed, seeing the golden crema fill the cup and taste the coffee,it becomes an addicting personal connection between man and machine – it isthe Nomad experience – and like no other. What has been the best part of your startup experience? Seeing users using Nomad for the first time pulling top notch espresso shotsrivaling those from trained baristas and seeing the Nomad becoming anindispensible part of their coffee lifestyle. During the Kickstarter campaignthere was much skepticism that a simple small device could produce greatespresso shots that would rival those made by trained baristas using advancedprofessional machines. However, once they received their Nomads the doubtersbecame converted enthusiasts and reported how shocked they were at the superbresults produced by their Nomad. “I have to say, best Kickstarter project I’vereceived, and the only Kickstarter project that delivered exactly what theypromised, I am pleased to say Nomad has exceeded my expectation of … how youdon’t need an expensive industrial machine to pull a very nice cup ofespresso.” “this is one of the most professional products I’ve received fromKickstarter. Beautiful design and build, well packed and a pleasure to use. Ihave quite a few coffee machines including a La Pavoni Lever and this is somuch easier to use and produces a great crema” ” I feel confident that I canmake lattes better than the best coffee shop here in Vancouver, and you canuse that as a testimonial” “This isn’t just a well-designed espresso maker;it’s a work of art”
