You need to include a source, a relevant quote, and then add your personal opinions. 

 

I don't use pods. They're terrible for the environment and super expensive.

Drinks are so particular to the person consuming it. If there isn't a way to properly adjust the levels, it might be more gimmicky than useful.

 

 

I like Martinis particularly dry and I like to add a dash of bitters to it as well. I doubt the machine will give me the option.

This sounds like the juicero.

 

Cocktails are so ridiculously easy to make as well, so I don't get the argument they make in the article about "for people who like to host parties."

 

If I was hosting a party I'd just make the things myself. It'd assuredly be cheaper to buy a cocktail shaker set, and liquor & soda, than it would be to buy this machine, several pods, and surely several CO2 canisters.

 

Also, how will this affect non-supermarket sales (e.g, Target) or sales of these items in states (Pennsylvania) where the liquor control board STRICTLY regulates where alcohol can be sold? I'd hope if there's already a price tag attached that they've thought of this stuff, but...
