Lower prices? While the article doesn't mention any specifics, juice that retails for $7 per serving and juice that retails for $5 per serving is still addressing the exact same market.
The cost structure of a subscription-based, home-delivered, fresh, semi-prepared food product is not going to, even at scale, be close to price-competitive with a juicer from Bed Bath & Beyond and some fresh fruit from Whole Foods. Juicero will, by its nature, always be a premium product situated well beyond any home juicing options.
- noir_lord 9y agoAgreed, I bought a morphy richards blender/juicer for £24.99, I pick up a bag of fruit near the end of it's shelf life for 2-3 quid from the market on the way past. Cost per serving about 20-25p. Cleaning is taking the center out and running it under a tap, this was an insane product however you cut (or pulp) it.
- Shivetya 9y agowell worse, on the idea where many companies are trying to be environmentally sensitive its clear these guys weren't even considering that aspect. this is even worse than a Keurig simply because the waste is far greater and packaging is as bad if not worse because they have to carry all the liquid with them.
