At Spinn® we know your morning cup of coffee is much more than an early morning beverage. It’s a ritual, a moment of tranquility, a daily treat for your taste buds. With that in mind, we’ve created a coffee maker to make your day a little easier and your coffee a lot better. Using only beans, no pods, capsules or filters we’ve engineered a coffee maker that creates zero environmental waste and uses centrifugal force to brew your morning cup. Whether you prefer drip, french press or an espresso, Spinn® is the coffee maker youve been waiting for. Our pre-order campaign is launching soon, but you can learn more at spinn.com

Arizona Algae Products, LLC is a biotechnology company and algae producer in Holbrook, Arizona. We make use of proprietary production technologies and sustainable production methods to produce algal biomass and highly valuable oils from algae for use in food, dietary supplements and health products that enhance human health and improve the quality of life. We are on a mission to provide the world with the highest quality, sustainably-produced, vegetarian, omega-3 oils from algae. Omega-3 oils sourced from fish or krill raise concerns about over-fishing of our oceans or the reliance on whale food and its effect on the Antarctic ecosystem. Moreover, being animal-derived, these fish and krill oils do not fit well in a vegetarian or vegan diet. The algae we produce are sustainably grown in our own greenhouse in the high Arizona desert, using abundant sunshine, non-arable desert land and pristine saline water from the Coconino aquifer, which cannot be used for irrigation, as inputs. The oils from our algae are perfectly suited for vegetarian and vegan diets. Vegan omega-3 oils derived from flaxseed consist of ALA, which is difficult for our bodies to convert into the most important omega-3s: EPA and DHA. Instead, our algae produce EPA oil directly. Unlike other producers of algae who use outdoor raceway ponds, we grow our algae under controlled conditions in closed photobioreactors of proprietary design, resulting in the lowest possible contamination levels and the highest quality product.
