PicoBrew Model C homebrew beer machine Europe-bound

PicoBrew, the automatic beer brewing counter-top appliance company, has today announced that it will be expanding its business into Europe.

The U.S.-only Pico home brewing machines will soon be available to European customers.

Pico appliances allow anyone to brew delicious “craft” beers. This is achieved in between 7 and 14 days by using PicoPaks from top breweries all around the world.

Kickstarter Initiative for Pico Model C

On May 12th, 2017, the Pico Model C will become available to European backers.

The Pico Model C already ranks in the top 5 most successful Food Kickstarter projects of all time. The project was fully funded reaching $350K USD within just seven hours and passed the $1M USD mark in just 15 days.

What is it?

Pico Model C uses the same innovative technology as the earlier stainless steel Pico to brew fresh craft beer automatically in about two hours.

It has a sleek, black powder-coated exterior and high-contrast two-line OLED display. It also includes the new Pico C Brew Keg. This features a simplified hose connection and is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.

Pico Model C will retail for €799 MSRP when it hits European stores in Autumn of 2017 and will include the brewing appliance, Pico C Brewing Keg and 5L serving keg.

PicoPaks and the CO2 carbonation kit will be sold separately.
