One of Silicon Valley's most infamous recent startups is shutting down:
Juicero, the company that made its name by creating a proprietary juice-squeezing machine, is shutting down. The announcement comes from Juicero's website. In its post, the company writes that it is suspending the sale of both its juice packets and its Juicero Press device. The last juice packet delivery will occur next week. All customers have up to 90 days to request a refund for their purchase of the Juicero Press, regardless of when they bought it. Fortune reports that employees are being given 60 days notice.

Sure, but you still end up cleaning coffee grounds out of the filter after every use, and they're still not particularly brilliant for single cups. I'm not saying that capsule machines aren't an expensive, lazy and wasteful option - but they do tick the box of providing better-than-instant coffee with no mess and are particularly handy when you only want one or two cups a day. I'm just comparing it with the idiotic Juicero which is self-evidently less convenient than just getting a carton out of the fridge: its not as if we haven't had online grocery stores for the last couple of decades...
