Apparently there are 5 coffee shops around me that have a Ripple Maker. What should my first Ripple be? πŸ€” EDIT: As per @rrhoover's request, I went to try it out! Got myself a PH kitty latte but felt very bad drinking it afterward. πŸ˜‹ More photos here.

@jackdweck wow, cool! Can you please visit tomorrow and report back with photos? πŸ˜„
Omar Hammouri

Matt Gardner
@hammouriomg @jackdweck I agree, I want to see if any coffee shops here have one! What app/site is that?
Jack Dweck

Get your own Zuckerberg latte!

@rrhoover Wonder how soon bars would start selling ADs on coffee)) Perfect consumer contact!
Dan Rosenshain
@michaelbabich oh no. drinking an ad - now that's a new low.
Michael Babich
@danr_4 @rrhoover Actually, it depends on an AD. If it recommends me a cake or to drink water after the coffee, it's pretty useful. May be not so healthy in the first example though. Anyway, it's better than Zuk photo on my coffee :)
Michael Babich
@rrhoover New AD model for bars & brands β€” give coffee with brand AD on it for free. Everybody win: the brand gets consumer contact, bar gets money, consumer gets free coffee.

@michaelbabich @rrhoover ads in your coffee? These days, I wouldn't be surprised! I must say it would be a good medium for advertisement, with the brand staring you right in the face until you sip it up...

I want a coffee machine that generates GIFs in your coffees. Can somebody make this possible? :o

@rogerh1991 I can do this. I just need a small loan of 1 million dollars.
Roger Huang
@aamerjomaa Would you settle for $1 and a Klondike bar?
Aamer Jomaa
@rogerh1991 do I get to eat it while I work?
Roger Huang
@aamerjomaa @rogerh1991 The bar vests according to a four-year schedule. You can eat 1/4 of the bar after a year, then 1/48 for each following month until you get your full bar allotment

@hunterwalk - maybe you can spice up your infamous coffee pics?

Subscriptions are eating the world. It feels like soon I will have a subscription to my washing machine.

I dislike how you have to buy the machine then buy a subscription to use the machine. It kinda ruins the product, but none the less. The product itself is amazing.
Ian Rumac
So awesome! I'd love to get one and just open it up the the web, wonder what people would print on my coffee :)
Michael Henry
This is amazing.
Mike Dane

Stefanie Amini
@mikedane7 you may be the only person who hasn't seen a video of a barista making latte art with the milk? This product is different. It prints on the froth.
Mike Dane
@stefamini @mikedane7 Yeaah you are right :P just saw it. And yeah this makes your product even more cool. Truly impressed :)

I could see a coffee bar getting viral if they printed random motivational quotes on each morning coffee!
Tim Aste
This makes me incredibly happy for no reason
Olga Annenko
Great stuff, if I had a coffee shop, I would definitely buy this machine. You can get a huuuuuge competitive advantage just by using it:)

How much does one cost? πŸ€” *Interested
Ronan Stark
@msitver That's definitely inexpensive. Considering if you get it early enough, the marketing will pay it back pretty quickly
Farah Berahman
Brilliant idea! I want all the coffee shops to have this
Alex Holzhammer
What a fantastic product! I'm just reading "Contagious" by Jonah Berger, about how to create buzz. This is definitely something that sets a coffee shop apart from others. Love @michaelbabich idea of printing ads on it. :D
