Overview

Spinn Inc was founded in 2014 by Roderick de Rode, Serge de Warrimont and Roland Verbeek.[4][5]

Spinn 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 functionality and an integrated grinder for the brewing process.[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 is also said to have the Alexa integration feature,[8] which allows the users to talk to their coffee makers.[12]

Production for the Spinn coffee maker has been significantly delayed.[13] Spinn has been taking pre-orders for their coffee maker since 2016, though an original shipping date of mid-2017 was missed, and as of January 2019, customers have not yet received their orders.[14] While the company started shipping a small number of machines for beta testing in early 2018, many of their crowdfunding backers have become restless due to the delay. As of mid-December 2019, Spinn has not yet announced shipping dates. [13]
