Want to talk espresso but not sure which forum? If so, this is the right one.

I just looked at their new and improved website.
They have a new video which shows even less about their machine than their original KS video (if that's even possible).
In a several minute video showing the Arist machine numerous times in different settings there are shots of people enjoying their drinks but not once do they show the machine actually pouring a drink - instead the machine just sits there (kind of like an empty box) with a drink already made on the cup stand...
I wonder if they figured out that some people were paying attention and their showing different brew paths each time they filmed a pour was not a great idea so it was just safer to not show anything at all about the machine's functions?
I've literally never seen a video selling an espresso machine that did not actually showing it pouring a drink - until now.
Also missing - the Q grader from the first video - what ever happened to her?
The whole focus of the marketing in the video is on the smart app: cloud support, order consumables, etc - I don't remember hearing anything about their focusing their efforts on the quality of the coffee the machine would make (what a novel idea).

I've been wondering that for some time now...

I have also noticed that their new website contains no "Updates" section for their other pre-ordered customers as they claimed to provide

Wow, the active tense of the news release(second link) speaks as if the Artist exists as a viable, working machine. Sounds Orwellian to me.

Hi guys, I'm one of the fools who was taken for a ride on KS. I just made a wordpress website www.aristscam.com. Thanks Bob McBob for making a profile and creating a post linking to this forum. If any of you have information you'd like to share, please feel free to make an account and post. I know you've discussed how mechanically the machine isn't likely to work, and I'd like that to show up on the website.

Based on the last couple pages and especially the last post, it's clear this thread is no longer about coffee or espresso, but about the updates and backer concerns. Unless there is a significant change in status, this thread is locked per the site's Public complaints about customer service documented in the Guidelines for productive online discussion.

UPDATE: See related video posted in The craziest %#*$ing thing I've seen all day...
