I don't see the value-add of a scale over, say, a button. I'm going to be interacting with the coffee when I use it, why not just leave the decision to re-order to me then?
- seizethecheese 8y agoThanks for the feedback. We weren't sure a scale would work either. We tested it with some skepticism. It turns out, leaving your coffee on a scale is intuitive for most people. This actually works as a way to do re-ordering without the user having to think of it at all. It's like a Dash button that presses itself. For what it's worth, Amazon recently discontinued Dash buttons. :)
- paulgerhardt 8y agoWe love our Bottomless scale! The thing I would add is this product works particularly well at our office. It’s one less task to delegate. At home I can mentally keep tabs on how supplies are diminishing but in an office environment there are more chaotic variables that I don’t have visibility into the effect resource consumption. Also protip: tare (reset to zero) the scale with an airtight container like a “coffee gator” and store the beans on the scale in that.
- alexbecker 8y agoI can see the office use case a lot more than the personal one--because I might not feel like I have the authority to re-order coffee when it runs out. Maybe you should market towards offices more? (Your website reads as very consumer-focused to me right now.)
- seizethecheese 8y agoThe above is a customer, but I'll jump in here. We work with offices now! We have 2lb and 5lb bags on the platform.
