Xconomy: Coffee Goes from Folger’s, to Starbucks, to Tech-Driven ‘Third Wave’
Summary
I said, ‘There is something going on here.’” Kuempel went on to internships at Tesla Motors and Apple, where he built a drop-test rig for iPads, but his curiosity about coffee had been permanently piqued.I created a system we could use to start answering that question of how.” Over the course of two years, the Blossom team has bravely ingested liters of caffeine, trying different recipes on different beans and uploading them to the cloud.Blossom owners can download the existing recipes or make their own, then print QR codes for each one on their coffee bags.“And if you can take training from two weeks down to two hours, you can open more shops.” Kuempel thinks there are a few thousand coffee bars in the U.S. that could use the Blossom One.(You probably won’t be seeing them inside Starbucks, which bought Seattle-born Clover, the maker of an $11,000 semiautomatic French press machine, back in 2008.)
