Tagline: The value of honest crowdfunding

Elevator Pitch: The value of honest crowdfunding

In 2016, ROCK2MORE partnered with STARESSO to develop an innovation capsule frother and a portable espresso maker, the first of its kind, complete with a hydraulic system. However, when we went to Kickstarter to launch our ROCK2MORE x STARESSO combo in 2019, we were shocked to find that another company, Coffeejack, had copied our espresso maker design. What’s worse, they used this design to collect $1,758,360 USD on Kickstarter and Indiegogo then made off with the money and failed to deliver any products to their backers. We are committed to honesty, we endeavor to do things differently and we’re determined to do right by our backers.
