The one other thing that could be a good restock is rice. A solid restock on quality rice is something that could be really valuable for folks who cook Asian food regularly, and it's something that people generally make on a pretty regular basis, but may not have a good local store that has quality options for.
How much does a typical bag cost and weigh?

#122This reminds me of Juicero. It seems to be solving a problem that only exists in the Bay area.

I would love to have this solution for every product in my fridge. Even my entire kitchen. Re-ordering things when you're actually almost out of them as opposed to on a fixed schedule seems ideal from the consumer's perspective. To me this is a better solution to the problem Amazon tried to solve with Dash buttons. I could imagine living in a future world where my grocery list is dynamically defined as the products e…
Yes, I can see it now. So, we have a bunch of millennials that have no idea how to manage a pantry because they only eat at their company cafeterias or dine at restaurants. Instead of thinking "gee I'm almost out of coffee I'll go buy some", they get a bunch of wifi scales. And then a better one with more features comes out, and the old ones get shipped to SE asia so a 5 year old can try to recover some recyclables f…
I think of it as the "declarative kitchen" like how we have declarative infrastructure or declarative languages. Now if only I could declare some brownies...

#126The product looks awesome. Can you add the processing type for all coffees? It looks like the exists, it's just only shown for some. I really like naturally processed beans! Edit: Just saw that I can filter by process. Thank you for building this feature.
If the filter isn't working, you can find a product that is naturally processed (CMD+F "natural") and click on the word "natural". Hopefully that'll activate it. If not, email me and I'll help send a link.

#127I think the bag should screw into the scale with a twist or two. Current design to precarious. Don't make me remember to check bag did not slide off.

#130Slight inconvenience != problem. If this works out, I’m going into the catheter business because peeing is universal too.
I do wish you best of luck and hope you find people who care enough to buy your product. This just sounds like an uphill battle to me
Edit to add; I’m not a fan of the weight approach. This assumes a lot and can’t predict what I’ll need tomorrow. Also, it forces me to put things back in their place, no thanks.
