Good riddance to over-engineered niche luxury products like this that ask you to spend hundreds of dollars to achieve the same results you can achieve for a few dollars. The loss on the human side (jobs, etc) is sad, but I certainly don't shed a tear when this stuff doesn't succeed. The Juicero was essentially an expensive pair of hands. The only thing the Teforia MAYBE offers, if I'm incredibly generous about it, is the pressurized steeping, but there is no way that it makes enough of a taste difference to be worth it over traditional western or gongfu brewing. I'm also not convinced that it's actually better, and anecdotal experiences from Teforia buyers don't really help because when you pay $1000 for your tea infuser, of course you're going to "think" it's better. I bet blind taste tests would come out quite differently. Let's even say the result does actually taste better, even under blind testing. There is no way it tastes hundreds of dollars better. Why would someone spend that much on a slight taste improvement? It only makes sense for people with incredibly high budgets/income. Tea enthusiasts already control all the variables (temperature, time, etc) and can and do make great tea using gaiwans and teapots. The Teaforia solves a non-existent problem.
