Here is another (mine) code :KZ5NKWith the launch/announcement of the new picobrew product I figured we would need a new thread as there have been discussions between various other Threads.
There currently is a promotion that if you use another individual's code who has purchased a unit you can get $100 off for every person that buys it. The person buying a unit will also get $50 off. I would suggest asking another HomeBrewTalk member for a code before you purchase. I would be willing to split my $100 and give a member $50 back (either gift card or cash depending on how Picobrew dispenses the $100 discount) when their unit ships (when I would receive my discount).
My code is: KYTXK that you can use at checkout for $50 off immediately and again I would share $50 once it shipped.
Some other members have posted their codes, in all fairness I have consolidated some here for members to easily access:
DerekP: M3SFW
Jrb03: KYSNO
Macgyuver: KYW9Z
FreddyBrewger: M3RCT
ETA is July 2018 for the Z1 model, unknown ETA on Z2, Z3, or Z4

I have opted to preorder the 5 gallon Z2 model and am hopeful for a shipping date in July!

Literally nobody in this thread. Sorry.Does anyone have a discount code?
Does anyone have a discount code?
It's not released yet. I think the release date is march or april. I ordered one, but limited info out there on it. Almost none actually.
I can confirm the code works. I just ordered the Z2 and the code gave me $199 off, which is the same amount as the shipping. But I'll take it!I haven't tried this code but saw it on the facebook group. Looks like a 10% code, so $150 off z1, $200 off z2, etc. Makes the big boy the cheapest yet!

Thank you very much. I just wanted to make sure before i made my decision. I didn't know this was an option previously. I though it was like a K cup and you could only use their brand.
Thanks!
What is the ‘add on’ for the use of Pico Packs for the Z that you speak of. Thanks.It works the other way around. The Zymatic was always "brew your own" and the Pico used the (Keurig-like) Pico paks. The base Zs are like the Zymatic, "brew your onw" but you have an add-on to use the (Keurig-like) Paks, if you want.

Not sure whether it is a paid add-on or come with the machine, but somewhere along the line the Pico sales documentation made mention of also0 being able to brew using pico paks. Probably need to ask pico via [email protected] for any detailed questionsWhat is the ‘add on’ for the use of Pico Packs for the Z that you speak of. Thanks.
I was under the impression the Z did Zymatic stuff, Pico packs, and Z packs as standard.Not sure whether it is a paid add-on or come with the machine, but somewhere along the line the Pico sales documentation made mention of also0 being able to brew using pico paks.

I just placed my preorder on Friday. Have there been any recent updates other than starting shipping in July?
It's been a big month for Z with some big pieces coming together. We are still targeting having our first complete brewing units in final housings at the end of the month.
On 5/17/2018 Doug over at Picobrew told me this "We are still aiming to begin fulfillment of the Z1s in July with the rest of the models beginning shipping shortly after." What "shortly after" means is anybody's guess at this point.
July 1 is awfully close [edit blown] and their last update still sounded like they are prototyping the design and have not finalized things like dialing in the control software. So we are either not getting these for a while or we are going to get something rushed and half baked. I'm holding onto my reservation just in case but I'm really tempted to just dump it and go to something like the 20 gallon brew-boss instead. So I can automate what I want and not worry about what their "minority investor" AB Inbev has planned for my expensive future paperweight when they decide to go picopack only. [Forgot about the last sentence in their last update. That means they are not even giving updates again until July 14. "None that I've seen. Based on PicoBrew's relative silence around the Z and history with things like the PicoStill I'm worried that July may turn out to be a bit optimistic. Still though - fingers crossed.
Yea, I got that same email and read it as "We're sorry, we are very far behind with design and testing, but here are some cool pics we hope will appease you"....and oh yea, be on the look out for another "we aren't shipping yet" email.
"...first customer devices to ship in August... the first delay..." One of many I imagine...
I got that email and was immediately drawn to this:
"Mechanical Engineer, Gordon, and Electrical Engineer, Justin, have been working extensively this week running brew tests with the Z1, making sure the brewing cycle and machinery are running smoothly and the electrical systems are protected from the machine’s high temperatures and moisture. "
I've been telling them since January that the Zymatic has issues with moisture and heat...they kept telling me it was a cleaning issue, but now they are making sure the Z series is "
wasnt it you who asked for more information about some of their testing ?? Banned boy lashes out again. Lol. Hey I just discovered the ignore option here. Woo hoo."...first customer devices to ship in August... the first delay..." One of many I imagine...

Anyone else worried that we've missed two Friday updates in a row?
Edit: And they sent out a GABF update two minutes after I posted this. Carry on.
