We've had a busy October! Please read below to learn when we are releasing the Orion Nano, Orbit hopper, our time HOST Milan, and our project support for La Marzocco.
Orion Nano
This month, we are releasing our highly anticipated Orion Nano. The latest addition to the Orion line-up and our smallest bean doser, it is set to launch on October 31. The Nano won the SCA's Best New Product award in the Coffee Accessories category at this year's World of Coffee Athens.
About the Orion Nano
The Orion Nano is the third bean doser in our catalog, along with the original Orion and Orion Mini. The Nano can be connected with other Nanos, through the Orion's Belt system, to create an on-demand blending station. From its release, you can connect up to three Nanos. With future firmware updates, additional units can be connected to create more complex coffee blends. You do not need to connect multiple products to use one Nano.
The minimal footprint makes it ideal for compact counter space, making even the smallest roasting or bar space more efficient.
The Orion Nano will be available for purchase across our websites at the following times:
US - 9 AM PST / 12 PM EST
We hope to have the Nano with our international resellers very soon. You can find a list of our authorized distributors here.

Orbit Multi-Purpose Hopper
This November, we will release the brand new Orbit Multi-Purpose Hopper. The metal aluminum hopper works as both a single-dose hopper and an adapter for larger hoppers. It can be purchased separately and can be used with previously purchased Orbits. Users can install a 250 g / 520 g / 750 g / 2 kg hopper on top for batch grinding.
A new web page for the Orbit Multi-Purpose Hopper is coming soon.

HOST Milan
Earlier in the month, some of our staff attended the world-famous HOST Milan exhibition. At the event, we spotted a number of our products across the event, including the Orbit grinder, the Orion Bean Doser, Pearls, Lunars, and more. Our products were present on the Tone, Lelit, Kinu/Naked Espresso, and Smart Espresso Profiler stands. You can see some images from our visit below.
La Marzocco Brew by Weight
In early October, the pioneering espresso machine company La Marzocco released their new exclusive scale, the Brew-By-Weight. The scale connects with the company's Linea Mini to create an (almost) hands-free espresso workflow. The Brew-By-Weight is a La Marzocco product that has been designed and managed for use alongside the Linea Mini. Our portion of the project was providing technical support for the integration at the design stage and the scale technology. To read more about the Brew-By-Weight, click here.
