Kombu is a first-of-its-kind modern kombucha brewer for the home. Kombu sets out to bring DIY kombucha into the 21st century. The patented design provides home brewers with a purpose-built device, for more consistent brews, a better experience, and a modern design that fits the home.

Kombu addresses the challenges and frustrations of DIY kombucha. Home-brewing kombucha can be a messy and inconsistent process, and there are currently no solutions available in the market that can solve this problem effectively, leading to unattractive DIY setups. The Kombu Fermenstation is a groundbreaking innovation that seamlessly blends design, health, wellness, and sustainability. It also combines everything you need to brew great kombucha in a compact and efficient design. Kombu makes it easy to craft real kombucha – at a fraction of the cost of store-bought kombucha. The design features a controlled, connected, and continuous system, ensuring a smooth brewing experience.

Controlled
The Fermenstation utilizes a low heating, temperature-controlled system to maintain steady warmth for the desired amount of days. An ambient air sensor controls the heating pads to maintain that perfect goldilocks warmth (24-28C / 75-82F). Each side (F1/F2) operates its heating and timer functions separately. Once the timer finishes, the heating stops and the system enters standby mode.

Continuous
The system is thoughtfully designed to maintain a continuous brewing cycle by saving 20% of the starter SCOBY for the next batch. After filling the bottles 80% full with kombucha, the spigot will stop pouring and the remaining 20% of the SCOBY stays in the jar for the next batch.

Connected
KOMBU is equipped with elegantly simple and user-friendly controls, featuring minimal analog buttons. Stay connected by using the IoT mobile app to control the device, like setting timers, monitoring the temperature, and receiving notifications.
