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.
