Ep31 - Catherine Kirk Invented The Coffee Bullet To Prevent Coffee Filter Collapse

Episode Thirty One Features Catherine Kirk Talking about Her Invention,  The Coffee Bullet

My Key Takeaways:

Catherine is a wonderful lady who invented a product to solve an issue that she herself was having.   She knew that automatic drip coffee makers make an amazing cup of coffee.  She also knew that sometimes the coffee grounds end up in the pot or coffee overflows onto the counter because of coffee filter collapse.  She invented the Coffee Bullet to solve her own problem and prevent coffee filter collapse.

 

In this episode Catherine shares:

• That she invented this despite suffering from Lupus and Leukemia and how it gave her something to focus on.
  
  How she broke each individual problem down and solved it despite knowing nothing about Inventing or Product Design.
  
  What Focus means to her.
  
  The surprising health benefits of drinking coffee from a paper filter.
  
  Some of the individuals that she met along her journey that helped bring the Coffee Bullet to the market.
  
  How she would relentlessly research new concepts and ideas related to her invention.
  
  That she had to move on from the first name that she chose for her product and ultimately found a better one.
  
  Why she believes that manufacturing here in the United States has been better for her product than overseas.
  
  How most of her customers are finding her product.
  
  What her next steps are with The Coffee Bullet.
