A prototype is a preliminary model of something. Projects that offer physical products need to show backers documentation of a working prototype. This gallery features photos, videos, and other visual documentation that will give backers a sense of what’s been accomplished so far and what’s left to do. Though the development process can vary for each project, these are the stages we typically see:

As Seen In...

“A travel mug capable of brewing its own coffee, the AnyCafé Travel Brewer is essentially like toting a pint-sized Keurig machine everywhere you go.” - Digital Trends

“It's the type of gizmo that we dream about on our morning commutes. Like, what if instead of stopping at the deli, we could just produce coffee with our bare hands?” - Refinery29

"If you love your Keurig but never have time to wait for the coffee to brew, a new travel mug could revolutionize your mornings. It’s called AnyCafé, and it’s the first travel mug to brew coffee using single-serve pods." - Real Simple

Introducing the AnyCafé Travel Brewer™ - The Travel Mug That Brews Coffee

There’s a better way to have coffee anytime and anywhere. With the AnyCafé Travel Brewer™, fresh coffee is always at your fingertips.

The AnyCafé Travel Brewer™ is the vehicle for bringing coffee brewing to the mobile age. Never again will you have to go searching for that warm second cup.

Coffee is already an integral part of our lives, but now it can be with you for every journey and adventure, even if it is just your morning commute.

With your help, we can bring the Travel Brewer™ to the world. We have all of the designs and hardware in order, we just need that final push to go into full production. Now is your chance to become a part of the Mobile Brewing Revolution.

What Makes the Travel Brewer™ Special?

With the Travel Brewer™, you can brew fresh, hot coffee anywhere in the world at just the push of a button. Our Patent Pending Continuous Brewing Method combines the convenience of a single-serve brewer with the quality and delight of a traditional home brewer. Just add any temperature water, your favorite blend of coffee, press the button, and after a few minutes your fresh cup is ready to enjoy.

Patent Pending Continuous Brewing Method

Our unique brewing method gets more flavor out of your favorite coffee pods and is whisper silent. It also allows for easy reheating, so you never have to worry about cold coffee or tea again!

Accepts Most Standard K-Cup® Coffee Pods

Our Travel Brewer™ is currently able to accept most K-Cup® coffee pods (and tea bags!), but we plan to make it possible to use loose grounds or tea leaves in order to help cut down on the growing epidemic of plastic waste from single-serve brewers. We currently are not able to offer this now, but if we raise sufficient funding it will be one of the first upgrades we will offer.

Detachable Rechargeable Battery Pack

Our battery pack makes use of the cutting edge of Lithium-Ion battery technology and can be easily removed to be recharged by a standard 12v charger. Charge at home, in the office, or even in the car!

Who We Are

The AnyCafé Team accepting a $6000 grant from Valley Venture Mentors in May, 2016.

The founding AnyCafé Team is comprised of 4 engineers from Western New England University with varying and diverse backgrounds, including one pursuing an MBA and another giving a TEDx talk on entrepreneurship November 11th, 2016. The company was started in October of 2015 following the team's success during 3 Day Startup. Shortly after, AnyCafé was accepted into the Valley Venture Mentors Accelerator Program in downtown Springfield, MA, and was awarded a grant of $6,000. The team plans to keep the company in Springfield and has set the long-term goal of helping to bring manufacturing jobs back to the Pioneer Valley.

AnyCafé, Inc. is a company that prides itself on 3 guiding principles: openness, honesty, and full transparency, both within the company and with our supporters. We will commit ourselves to updating you as a backer on a bi-weekly basis and fully disclosing the state of progress.

Production and Fulfillment

We know what you're saying: "I'm not going to get my AnyCafé Travel Brewer™ until August!? Why is that?"

Trust us, we hear you. Simply put, we know that manufacturing takes time and even when orders are put in early, there are things that slow down the process which we cannot control. A big one of these is the Chinese New Year in late January into February where many facilities completely shut down for sometimes several weeks. However, our timeline accommodates for anything that could go wrong during production and the great thing about that is if nothing goes wrong, you may receive your Travel Brewer™ a month or two before its estimated fulfillment date!

*Timeline subject to change. All backers will be notified in this event.

Still Skeptical?

Never backed a Kickstarter before? Backed a Kickstarter that promised early delivery and is still failing to fulfill? There are a lot of reasons that Kickstarters fail to deliver in a timely manner, and many of these reasons all come back to the same root cause - companies failing to be open, honest, and transparent with their customers. We have one of the best supply chain experts in America working personally with us to make sure that we can deliver our orders in a timely manner. We have done all the math and thought long and hard about every possible contingency when determining the delivery dates for each backer tier to ensure as timely of a delivery as possible. Unlike similar products of the past, we will not make their same mistakes and fail to deliver.
