Upvoted. Awesome idea.<p>Thinking about pre-ordering, I just have a few questions:<p>Given how much prototyping you&#x27;ve done, do you expect the pre-order batch to differ significantly from the final design or will most of the improvements be software related. If the final design ends up being significantly improved based on feedback from those getting the first batch, will you provide a discount to those early adopters on the final retail machine?<p>Can you tell us more about the construction of the machine? I typically try to avoid plastic appliances. Any plans to eventually offer the reservoir in tempered glass or at least sell replacement reservoirs near cost as the original ones become dirty and scratched? Is the white base plastic or enameled metal? Is the double-walled reservoir a vacuum like thermos or just air?<p>Are you guys in the Bay Area? If so, I&#x27;d love to swing by your office and check it out.<p>Any plans for an API?
