If you're outside the US, or where more people use Samsung devices, Samsung Smarttags could be a better choice.

Yeah, for heavier load, Meteor Lake and M2 seem to be close; but for light load, M2 is still much better.

I've never tried chemex, so I'm not sure 😅

Chemex seems better for making bigger batches of coffee.

For CPU, It seems like meteor lake has caught up with M2.

From purely engineering, manufacturing side, maybe, but you often have pay more than just the manufacturing cost. The companies have to pay for a good marketing team, customer service team, and after sales maintenance team for example. They might need the capital for certifications entering a new market too, for example. All of these cost money.

Grinder companies are still innovating too IMO. Burr design is an ongoing r&d in a lot of companies. Ionizer is another quite recent addition to combat retention.

Thousands in monthly production sold at close to cost might not be enough when considering ongoing expenses like salaries, r&d, etc.

For leverage against the vacuum pressure, it seems.

If you're interested, this paper filter for French press should help with cleaning up: https://timemore.vn/product/timemore-coffee-paper-filter-french-press/

I'm interested to see/read the reviews. But in terms of pressure, I'm assuming that it's not too much different from aeropress.

I personally think this has potential for the following:

  • stainless steel material. Great for people who wants to avoid plastic.
  • insulated twin wall. Should offer good heat retention.
  • smooth wall. Should make it possible to negotiate paper filter to make it into a no bypass brewer.

The replaceable base is just a bonus IMO. I personally will probably just choose the fastest one and rarely change it if I own one.

Better watch youtube from a piped instance.
