Absolutely love this , congrats on making your dream a reality. I know how much work it is to bring something from concept to actual product one can use. Also it hurts me to say this but the website is trash. I know you are trying to go for modern look but at no point I can see the full machine, the price is hidden and there are just over exposed images and videos with very hard to read information. This will not convert. Why do I have to add it to cart to see the price ? Please DM me if you need help with website. Some examples of similar sites that convert (based on my exp in e-com and retail designs/development)

Good luck !

"...it doesn’t work with starbucks style oily roasts" I think this is a feature :)

> Also it hurts me to say this but the website is trash.

Then better to not to say it at all. I don’t think anyone on HN should call someone else’s work “trash”.

I personally really liked the website on mobile. Other than missing a demo video it communicated the value proposition.

I think at this point anyone that posts here expects at least half the comments to be about the website

You missed GP's point. One should not call another's work "trash" here. That is not what this site is about.

That does not mean the site cannot be critiqued, however, as plenty of other commenters have successfully accomplished here today.

I wasn't talking about the "trash" comment specifically. It was a bad comment. Even if it was formed more constructively there's no value to be the 32nd blowhard to give a long winded version of "It would be nice if there were photos showing the whole machine on the product page"

I think one shouldn't say that on its own, as it's not helpful. But given that it's in the middle of a lot of clear and specific detail that includes an offer of help, I think it's fine as emotion-conveying hyperbole.

Thanks for the advice and the feedback!

The price and full profile pictures should be visible on the store page without adding to cart, maybe something is going wrong?

Here is what it looks like on all of my computers:

My bad ! Should not have said that. Apologies to op, i am human

I've been using an Aeropress for years (long enough to have had to buy new gaskets).

Our kitchen doesn't have much counter space, but that Presso Smartshot looks good (at least in the video). Do you happen to know if it's actually good?

BTW I had no idea Aeropress now sells a non-plastic version. I guess the output is the same.
