FinaleCoffeepot has claimed since 2001 that it can export coffee as an Extra-Pungent Solution (EPS) that can be imported into other coffee-related devices for further processing. No user, however, has EVER been able to get workable EPS out of ANY version of FinaleCoffeepot.

On the other hand noone can yet say whether FinCofPo will work with the announced new version of SolarX which will also run off the mains, but will require a special contract with your electricity company where only solar power is being used.
