On episode 183 I got to talk with Sergio Landau from the Kickstarter campaign The Neo. The NEO makes delicious, in-home espresso easily and affordably. We designed this product knowing that Moka pots, many pod machines, and other in-home brewers claim to make espresso, but really only provide you with a cup of strong coffee, unless you want to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The NEO is a simple, environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and fun product, all while producing delicious espresso. Learn more by visiting their Kickstarter.

On Episode 180 of Successfully Funded, I got the chance to talk with Sam Gross from the campaign, Nomad Kitchen. The Nomad Kitchen gives you a compact removable kitchen system, great for everyone from the hardcore adventurer to the casual weekend warrior. Beyond wilderness exploration, the Nomad Kitchen’s uses extend to tailgating, festivals, and emergency preparedness. After selecting to place the box on the driver side or passenger side and lifting the box into your trunk you just need to open and loosen the ratchet straps, clip the front strap hooks to the cargo tie-down anchor, and ratchet them until they are snug. Sound pretty awesome to me! To learn more visit their Indiegogo page.
