The company is set to debut its HomeBrew system at CES 2019. It's a capsule-based beer-making machine that relies on automation and fermentation algorithms, and is completely self-cleaning, so it's a seriously fuss-free way of brewing your own beer. Depending on the beer type (there are five: American IPA, American Pale Ale, English Stout, Witbier and Czech Pilsner), the system can produce up to five liters of beer in about two weeks -- you can check on its status at any time using the companion app for iOS and Android.

    Another alternative is a Zojirushi breadmaker. I tried several other breadmakers via the local thrift shop - they all went back after a couple of trial batches. The Zoji makes bread as good as my mother's. She learned her craft at 8 baking in a wood stove.

    The Zoji can be set up to 12 hours in advance so you come home to fresh bread and hot chili in the slow cooker. It's pricey but it's one of those kitchen gadgets that I will replace the moment it breaks. Fortunately Zojirushi still makes high quality equipment that lasts longer than your average refrigerator nowadays.

    If Zojirushi makes a brewing machine equivalent (add your own basic ingredients and lots of control over the program) I'm in. This new system though looks like another Silicon Valley RFID capsule subscription widget thingy. Fuck 'em and the venture capitalist horse they rode in on.
