Or You Can Go To Amazon And Order A Machine That Really Exists

Do you pledge to Kickstarters? Beware the projects that seem too good to be true. Take the case of the ZPM Espresso machine, which raised a lot of money and had a working prototype pumping out espresso as good as much more expensive machines, but ended up with too many problems and never went into production... and offered no refunds. All they sent people who had given them money and expected machines was a note of sort-of-apology. And, under the terms of the Kickstarter, that's all they'll get. People think it's like a store, but it's more an investment that you can lose. You're betting that they'll make the thing. (New York Times)
