Re: PicoBrew Model S
Looks as though the units are now being snapped up & the seller is accepting offers of less than $50.00

Re: PicoBrew Model S
It would seem the listing took an absolute hammering over the last couple of days & all the units have been sold.

Success! The chinese-produced tray set is getting delayed for an unknown time. Have there been any successful hack on the hop waterfall that doesn't involve injection molding or stainless steel welding?

So solved leak in step filter gasket with additional O ring behind gasket. The issue with the tube wall thickness remains and the whole multiway valve need's rethinking as the pinch tube approach and thin wall tubing is not going to have any longevity.
For now if replacing the tubes keep the original inside the valve and use a connector to the new tube unless you can find thinner walled 5mm tube.

There is an update from Jonathan on FB
UPDATE UPDATE!
As people are asking the cost this is what it looks like as an honest breakdown.
Please let me know your thoughts, and if you think this is reasonable.
Costs:
Tooling : 12000
Unit cost : 2.36
Shipping per 500: 2800
Import tax/customs fees/ carriage: 1200
Therefore
12000/500 = 24
2800/500 = 5.6
1200/500 = 2.4
24+2.36+5.6+2.4 = $34.36
As these are all still estimates I plan on rounding this up to at least $39.99+shipping and handling anywhere in the USA for 15.00 (12.6 for ups ground, 0.6 for box, 0.10 for label, and rounded up)
So $39.99 for product + $15.00 S/H
This is what I am looking at.
If anyone thinks this is unreasonable then please let me know.
Any overages I will Bill to people through PayPal invoice. For example (adjustments for international or bulk orders)
Any overages once the last unit is sold will again be donated to no kid hungry.

There is one final production run of the reusable picofree packs, that let you run fully automated brews with your own recipes. If there is enough interest then we can have them shipped direct to the UK.
Any interest from people here in them ($51 each)?
PS they need to be ordered by the 19th.
