Kippy Williams, owner of Kippy's Organic Non-Dairy Ice Cream Shop in Los Angeles and Toyko, said she purchased her Juicero late last year for $1,200. (Juicero charges businesses a premium, she said.) Williams, a self-proclaimed health-food evangelist, said she'd like to see the company sell packs by themselves to people who can't afford the device. ”It would be great if they offered people the opportunity to buy the packs and press them by hand," she said. ”I want juice for every man, woman and child."
I think the theory is for people who want "fresh juice" without the mess of using a juicer and real fruit.This is honestly the most confused i've been by a product in ages. Like it's just a pouch of juice right? Who is this for?

Why is it connected to the internet?
Well you know I gotta have that proper always online DRM before I juice
This guy looks like Oscar Bluth.
Well, there's the Soylent guy who made this long, super smug and utterly insane post about how superior and efficient he is for throwing out all his clothes instead of washing them, among other things.

The guy takes being self-absorbed beyond comic book levels.
Sidenote: isn't juice not great for you anyway? Doesn't it pull all the fiber out of the equation and just leave you with sugars? I could be wrong about that, I don't really follow that stuff, but I could have sworn I read something about that.
Yeah, but where am I supposed to get a hand?
So basically a crappy overpriced juicer that tried to create a proprietary bag... they must have seen how much keurig took off and the growing juicing market....
Check out my hand kickstarter. $1000 for a thank you and one hundred million dollars for an actual human hand that I will graft to your body. Please donate, I need all the help I can get to pay for my medikal* studies.

I'm not sure if I'm too clever or too stupid to think of internet connected squeeezer with subsription service.People here are salty they didn't think of this first.
More seriously, lol lol lol. This is ridiculous.
bwahahahhaha i actually have one of these (got it free from work)

Its stupid as fuck. Its DRM'd.
If you dont have a subscription to buy juices from them, your machine will not work/function and its essentially and literally a ton of brinks (its heavier than a damn microwave)
Work even gave us a free box of juices packets, but because you have to pay for a subscription even if you already have juice packets, you can't use it.
Me an my friends eventually figured out you can do what was shown in the OP. You can just cut a hole in the juice packet and squeeze out your juice.
I was thinking to myself how this is the Pet Rock of the modern era, but hey the free juice was actually really delicious.
All these DRM pod devices are just awful. What a horrible way to screw over the people who paid a premium for your product. They need to be shamed so people don't get sucked into these schemes.
I'm still waiting for the $400+ Flatev tortilla maker to implode.
Think I missed it,but, what is the point of those bags? They have 1 cup of content each? Isn't that going to make a lot of waste?
Every word of this is amazing.
I don't think you could come up with a more insulting product if you tried.
Why do you even need juice, what's wrong with just eating fruit?
If juice is so laborious and messy that you want to buy a $400 juicer + $7 per cup of juice, just eat an apple!

Surprised that this doesn't run off the printer model where it's the ink that makes profit rather than the machine.

Reminds me of Theranos.
All of these types worship Jobs.
Ahahahaha, I am a VC and I am dying reading this, thanks for sharing! Holy shit which VC backed this...?
he has extracted a remarkable $120 million in investments from Silicon Valley titans, including Google Ventures and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, and big companies like Campbell Soup.
The New York franchise drew rave reviews from the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow.
