Kinda makes me wish I would actually use it. $400 buys a lot of nitro coffee.

I am a little... skeptical of the claims. Or the lack of specificity in the claims. It doesn't say it extracts nitrogen from the atmosphere. It says it "[utilizes] the nitrogen content already in the atmosphere around you." So is this thing separating nitrogen from oxygen and the other trace gases, or is it just pumping atmosphere? Poking around, nitrogen extractors seem to be much bigger and/or way more expensive, so perhaps maybe the latter? And does that make a difference in the performance, or is the concentration of nitrogen in the atmosphere large enough that it doesn't make a difference? Plus, all of the testimonials are about their *previous* cartridge-driven machine, so it doesn't look like they've put a prototype in anybody's hands to evaluate. I dunno... just seems a little light on the technical details.

But hey, if it does what they say it does, that's pretty slick.
