I agree, fresh juice on demand is a good idea (besides the fact that the amount of sugar is usually terrible for you).
But they had to have found out very early on with Juicero that squeezing the packets by hand basically produced as much juice as their expensive machine.

As the Bloomberg article mentioned^, Juicero plus at least some of their investors knew, and multiple investors felt that the product Juicero delivered didn't live up to what they were pitched. (Note that Juicero didn't get any new funding between their initial launch and going out of business.) ^ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-04-19/silicon-valley-s-400-juicer-may-be-feeling-the-squeeze https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-04-19/silicon-v...
