Great list! Thank you! I agree with @anfractuosity, that I'd like to see SnapEDA on this list. There my go-to source for CAD packages. I don't even create CAD parts anymore; if it's not in their DB already, I just request it. I've had great success with them.

Congrats Qasar! Well deserved. I know you'll kill it!!

Perfect. We love it there. We've already been scoping it out if you check our Twitter feed :)

Great feedback; thanks. May I ask what city you'd suggest this for?

You may not be able to, but Patrick Stewart can :)

Amazing feedback! We hope to allow reusable travel mugs (not yet though). We've been debating this internally, but it's great to hear it from a customer. Would you (or do you) carry a travel mug?

Not at all. We love our Toronto investors and are looking forward to launching there in the fall.

Yes, I think many people prefer loose leaf tea to traditional tea bags. It was a challenge to heat the water quickly on 120V, but I think we have a good system. It not only provides instant hot water, but also allows you to adjust water temperature.

That's great feedback. Thank you. I hope you can come try it for yourself but I'm glad you liked the video. We're open to suggestions regarding selection. We've already replaced several less popular ingredients and will continue to listen to our customers. No plans for a home unit yet, but we let you order your favourite blends online to enjoy at home. Excellent point about allowing the venue to select ingredients. We have allowed them to create a house blend, but no venue has requested ingredients yet.

The UK is an exciting opportunity! Do you think it will fit well there? I know tea in general is very popular there. Let's talk offline about our expansion plan.

Thank you for the feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed it! Sorry it didn't accept your Colombian credit card. We'll work on it. I know it accepts Apple Pay if that helps.

We're catering to the grab-and-go market. Our current machine doesn't address this but we're working on it.

Yes, the Coupa Café in downtown Palo Alto. Let us know where else you'd like to see a teaBOT and thanks for trying it!

Thanks for the feedback! Right now we have 18 ingredients per machine. But I must say, more variety is a common request. We stock what's popular and curate our selection based on user feedback. So please keep it coming.

Toronto's not far away ;) But I agree, the nation's capital deserves a teaBOT.

Thanks James! I can't say I've even tried that combination yet. I'll try it today :)

Thanks Daniel. teaBOT makes your perfect blend and mixes the hot water and leaves in the cup. The filter lid keeps the leaves out of your mouth, but you're right it doesn't stop steeping. It's fine in most cases but we are working on a solution for the next generation :)
