I received mine a while back but have not yet used it.

As I remember, they wanted people who are influential and might demo the machine and coffee.

I guess I qualify :-)

I am a coffee farmer in Kona Hawaii and have many neighbors in the same boat (field) as me. We talk, dream and think coffee.

I intend to take the machine to one of our monthly meetings and demo it. Then, I'm sure we will discuss why there is no 100% Kona pod and how we can help the company make them :-)
