Overview
Spinn Inc is a hardware enabled coffee marketplace and was founded in 2015 by Roderick de Rode, Serge de Warrimont and Roland Verbeek.[4][5]
Spinn is provides its users with a curated coffee roaster platform through which the users are given various choices about their coffee,[6] and this platform is currently said to have over 150 connected roasters[7] for fulfilling the users’ coffee bean orders as of 2017.[8][9]
Technology
Spinn's coffee maker uses patented centrifugal brewing process and an integrated grinder.[4] The centrifugal technology is said to variable stepless rotating speed between 500 rpm to 8000 rpm,[10] the decides the extraction level, and amount of coffee and water used.[2]
This coffee maker is app-controllable,[11] and every aspect from ordering and brewing to coffee preparation can be controlled through Spinn's proprietary iOS and Android-based mobile application.[4][12] This app has the Alexa integration feature,[8] which allows the users to talk to their coffee makers.[12]
Spinn began accepting pre-orders for its coffee maker in late 2016 and initially projected shipment in mid-2017. However, the rollout was delayed; limited beta units shipped in 2018, and widespread customer deliveries commenced in 2020.[13][14] In 2021, Spinn secured a $20 million funding round led by Spark Capital, bringing its total funding to $37 million to date.[14]
