The machine is a brewing system that allows homeowners to create their own kombucha. The system is developed to make the usual challenges of DIY kombucha more streamlined with elegant design and intuitive controls. Notably, this ensures that it offers users a more cost-friendly option as store-bought kombucha often costs about $4 per bottle and the KOMBU Fermenstation can brew its own for 39 cents. Michael Churchill, CEO and Co-Founder at KOMBU notes “KOMBU Fermenstation is not just a device, it’s a game-changer for home-brewers. By reimagining DIY kombucha, we started from a clean sheet to make brewing easy and accessible to everyone, making it a must-have for all kombucha enthusiasts and new beginners to the craft."
