前不久，发迹自硅谷的蓝瓶子咖啡 (Blue Bottle Coffee) 正式进入中国，硅星人写了一篇文章讲了这个品牌成为“网红咖啡”的幕后故事。

蓝瓶子咖啡被视为“第三波咖啡”运动的代言人。现如今这一运动正在势头上，精品咖啡的受众快速扩张。但考虑到原材料供需、制作和消费方式等因素，精品咖啡的主要消费场景还是在店内。

不过，一家来自美国马萨诸塞州的品牌正在异军突起，想要结合精品咖啡和胶囊/冻干咖啡，让消费者能够安坐家中享受精品咖啡，创造了近几年来咖啡创业市场上的新奇迹。

它就是 Cometeer，目前咖啡圈的“网红”加备受资本关注的美国冻干咖啡品牌。

Cometeer 于2015年创立，号称投资了“数百万美元”，建立了一条在咖啡领域"前所未有"的咖啡精萃和急速冷冻生产线，将 K-cup 胶囊咖啡包装的冻干咖啡送到消费者的家门口。

他们号称，通过这一品牌，人们可以足不出户，就能以最高的还原度享受来自全美10家知名精品咖啡烘焙商的高水准咖啡——无论你喜欢的咖啡饮用方式是冷还是热，是黑咖、拿铁、卡布奇诺，还是阿芙加朵。

在咖啡创业领域，似乎总有咖啡因摄入过量的产品经理、工程师和各式各样的创业者，畅想着自己能够颠覆咖啡领域，成为下一个星巴克、瑞幸，甚至蓝瓶子咖啡——然而，大部分这样的咖啡创业公司，最后都并没有成功。

Cometeer 不一样：它在创立不久就已经收回了早期投建产线所付出的成本，获得了第一批核心用户，实现稳定收入。

作为目前美国市场冻干咖啡的领先品牌，Cometeer 的技术创新和营收能力使其成为热衷于 DTC（直接面向消费者）领域投资者的宠儿，合计的已知融资额已经超过1亿美元。

该公司的融资情况：1850万美元的种子轮，前年5000万美元A轮，以及去年10月3500万美元的B轮融资。曾投资 Unity、Robinhood 等知名公司的机构 D1 Capital 是其最新一轮融资的领投方；并且，Allbirds、Warby Parker 等知名 DTC 品牌的创始人，也对 Cometeer 倾囊相助。

说来也有意思：欧美的咖啡消费市场更大、历史更悠久。然而在咖啡消费品技术和产品形态创新上，反而被中国抢占了先机。就以冻干咖啡为例，在中国2018年就开始有相关品牌，并且很快在各大渠道成为销量冠军；反而是在欧美，冻干咖啡到了2020年才开始进入主流视野。

Cometeer 的冻干咖啡有何神奇之处，能够获得美国大批 coffee snob（对咖啡极其讲究的人）的青睐？

泡咖啡是科学，冻干咖啡也是

创始人 Matthew Roberts 在本特利大学就读期间课业十分繁忙，甚至来不及买咖啡，导致一天没精神……接受不了低质量速溶咖啡的他，于是买了很多豆子，在自己家里冲好，用冰格冻在冰箱里，早上上课带一颗放进杯子，加水一冲就好。

这种做法看上去确实特别”装"，但它解决了 Roberts 的痛点——更重要的是，在“第三波咖啡”运动下，和他一样对咖啡质量有要求的潜在消费者群体正在逐渐扩大。

Roberts 决定把冲速冻咖啡这件事变成自己的事业，于是从隔壁的 MIT 招了一批学化学和机械工程的学生，找银行把信用卡提了额，在自家的阁楼里创办了 Cometeer 这家公司，潜心研究一件事：如何把咖啡变成冻干。

冻干就是将食品材料进行急速冷却、包装后，即可面市。冻干生产加工需要的机器确实较为昂贵，但制作原理并不复杂，属于近几年食品行业非常流行的生产技术，特别是在宠物食品行业，被广泛采用。

然而对于 Cometeer，冻干咖啡可不是“泡咖啡、速冻、包装上市”这么简单。它并没有采用更简单的冻干粉工艺，而是在创业初期就斥巨资投产了一套自主专利，且流程极其复杂的咖啡冲泡、精萃和液氮急冻产线，将冻干咖啡变成了一项‘科学“：

包括（且不限于）原咖啡豆的含水量、烘焙程度、研磨粒度、萃取的水温水质水压、颗粒分布、氧化，以及成品冻干在不同的消费者端冲泡条件下溶解后的残余固体密度——都在 Cometeer 这套极其复杂的生产流程的考虑范围之内……

在冲泡精萃之后，Cometeer 会立刻采用零下196℃的液氮对咖啡液进行急冻，封装在标准 K-cup 胶囊大小的铝盒当中，锁住鲜度和味道。

结果就是，Cometeer 卖出的每一颗胶囊冻干咖啡能够保证最优的 TDS（溶解性固体总量），无论冷冲热冲还是常温冲，加奶加酒还是加冰激淋，都能冲出能够令精品咖啡师和熟客消费者满意的味道。并且只要消费者继续将成品冷冻在冰箱里，即便三年后拿出来，仍然能够冲出当初萃取时的味道。

赛级精品，在家享受

但想要让 coffee snob 赞不绝口，光有先进的冻干生产技术还不行。上学时候的 Roberts 喝不下去市售的速溶咖啡，今天的他仍然无法接受平庸的咖啡豆。

目前，Cometeer 已经和遍布全美的10家精品咖啡烘焙商/咖啡店展开了深度合作，让全美消费者都能够以最高的还原度，享受曾经只有当地咖啡客才有的体验。

这些合作方不乏知名大牌，比如麻省当地的 George Howell、北卡罗莱纳州的 Counter Culture、纽约的精品咖啡开创者 Joe Coffee、获奖无数的独立品牌 Onyx Coffee Lab 等。Cometeer 直接把这些合作品牌的 logo 打在铝盒胶囊封盖上：

购买方面，Cometeer 提供的最小购买单位是一箱32只胶囊，但消费者可以自选咖啡豆来源（单一或混合）、烘焙程度、是否 de-caf 等，Cometeer 会按照用户下单填写的偏好来选取4种（每种8只）胶囊，干冰装箱，全程冷冻送到家门口。

按月订阅的一箱价格是64美元，折合每杯2美元。毕竟是精品咖啡，可以说是非常实惠了。

更重要的是，Cometeer 试图让咖啡客足不出户就可以喝到全美最受追捧的几大精品咖啡，还不用担心自己的咖啡知识、冲泡技术：

从冰箱取出直接加热水，冲出一杯接近赛级咖啡师水准的黑咖：

解冻后配一勺冰激淋，轻松做出阿芙加朵 (Affogato)：

因为胶囊是 K-cup 尺寸，还可以直接插入到兼容的咖啡机里：

官网还提供了冷萃、拿铁、卡布奇诺、咖啡调酒的制作方法。

胶囊就算解冻，液体容量也符合 TSA 标准，可以直接带上飞机。所以如果出差的话，出门前也可以揣一只胶囊在兜里，上了飞机/火车要一杯水，在万里高空也能享受一杯精品咖啡下午茶时间，让那些手握星巴克的乘客相形见绌、羡慕得不要不要的……

洛杉矶本土咖啡店 GGET 的创始人 Kyle Glanville 表示，Cometeer 最大的亮点就是极大地降低了普通消费者享受一杯精品咖啡的门槛：

“我总说咖啡应该像红酒一样被细细品味，但红酒不需要你在家里冲泡……对于居家享受精品咖啡来说，Cometeer 是一次巨大的飞跃。”

Game Description

In Power & Revolution 2021 Edition, play as the Head of State and extend your influence around the globe. By playing as several countries, try to change the destiny of our planet with orchestrated actions. Play as the head of the legal or illegal opposition and seize power!

STRATEGY, SIMULATION AND MANAGEMENT
Power & Revolution is a simulation of our current world, recreating its features in-depth and across a number of domains: economic, political, military, social, financial, environmental, energetic, transportation…

All countries of the world are represented with their own features. The calculation and scenario engines include more than 100,000 data, 15,000 texts and 10 hours of recorded dialogue. A detailed and animated 3D world map helps to support the players, with all the borders, regions and important and strategic locations of the world

The game combines management stages of economics, commerce, wargames, construction, espionage, simulation, and political influence and manipulation.

Players can opt for the management of just one country or several simultaneously and design collaborative strategies to change the world’s destiny. There are game settings across multiple domains: degree of activity of terrorist organizations, probabilities of natural disasters, reactivity of populations, outbreak of wars. More than twenty contextual scenarios with current events from today’s world are integrated.

2021: A YEAR OF CHALLENGES!
In 2020, the pandemic flattened economies, sent debt through the roof and increased economic insecurity. But at the beginning of 2021, hope was reborn with the arrival of vaccines against Covid-19: the end of the health crisis and the return of growth are on the horizon and with the inauguration of the new American president, a new era of diplomacy has also begun.

As head of one or several nations, win the battle against the virus by carrying out a vaccination campaign, revitalize your economy and move your pawns on the political chessboard with new strategies: the creation of party coalitions, negotiations during meetings of heads of state, free-trade agreements, worldwide taxes, diplomatic initiatives (scientific cooperation, student exchanges, year of culture)…

In a vast, highly realistic simulation of the European Union, there are many political conundrum to solve if you want to develop the organization: voting and institutional operation rules, detailed budgets, new taxes, fiscal or social harmonization, commercial agreements…

And there are other challenges to face: in “Biden’s Challenge”, try to reach your ambitious goals as the new American head of state; participate in the German federal elections and if you win, try to form a coalition to govern the country; and with the new worldwide fatality management system, take action to reduce their impact and limit the number of deaths.

A TOTALLY UNIQUE SIMULATION ENGINE:
The game engine, Geopolitical Simulator 4, includes over 600 data elements for each of the 175 playable countries and calculates their changes in real time throughout the game based on players’ actions. Some examples include popularity ratings, political relations, and economic exchanges between countries. Various organizations, including NATO, use the technologies in the Power & Revolution simulator for education and training.

Over one thousand playable actions. At the country’s helm, the player/head of state can act in many areas: budget, taxation (nearly thirty types of taxes), currency, economy (over 130 economic activities), foreign and domestic affairs, defense, society, labor, health, social security, education, environment, transportation, culture, and more.

Propose bills to be voted on in Parliament, for example: setting social welfare benefit minimums, changing the retirement age, developing atomic weapons in secret, subsidizing the auto industry, hiring teachers, defining the powers of unions, setting speed limits on roads, regulating prostitution, creating an international film festival, etc.

The player can also construct elements on the world map, which will change accordingly: nuclear plants, wind farms, military bases, pipelines, high-speed train lines, airports, and many more.

SIMULATIONS OF MAJOR GLOBAL THREATS:
The Geopolitical Simulator 2021 Edition simulates all the major perils that threaten the planet and produces a comprehensive assessment for each one from the results along with specific graphics. The list of threats is substantial and many of them are interconnected: global warming, the widening of social inequality, the risk of global atomic war, overpopulation, unemployment, atmospheric pollution, terrorism, cybercrime, regional conflicts, food insecurity, world hunger, deforestation, natural disasters (storms, floods, drought, extreme heat…), rising sea levels, ocean acidity, disappearance of animal species, climate refugees, epidemics, endocrine-disrupting chemicals…

PLAY AS THE OPPOSITION:
At the head of a legal or illegal organization, the player can take power by force, revolution, diplomacy, or democratic election. To that end, players have many actions at their disposal: manage the budget of the party or illegal organization, intervention in the media, give voting advice to Parliament, launch protest movements, lobbying, manipulation of influential persons, funding or recruitment campaigns, creation of violent cells, purchase military equipment, raise an army, seek allies, engage in armed conflict… During elections, players must manage their campaign budget, establish their political agenda, complete their meeting itinerary, confront their adversary in televised debates…

AI CONTROLLED LOBBYISTS AND CHARACTERS:
All actions of the player as head of state or opposition have repercussions and lobbies, social groups, and important national and international figures will intervene if their artificial intelligence deems necessary (press interviews, resignations, protests, strikes, unrest, blocked roads, wars…).To prevent tensions or forge alliances, the player can meet any figure during the meeting or intervene in the media (more than 10 hours of dialogue in the game).

REALISTIC WARGAMES AND CITY BATTLE PHASES:
The world map incorporates all places of conflict down to the smallest detail: occupied territories, besieged cities, locations of military units, international military bases, personnel and equipment of terrorist groups…

As a warlord, players can direct all of their units from real bases during military conflicts. City battles are shown on precise maps with all the major buildings and intersections. The players, according to the side they represent, can direct police, hooligans, military personnel or armed extremists to these locations and construct barricades, send in snipers, loot the banks, or have armoured vehicles move in.

SECRET SERVICES:
Secret services play an important role. They have an arsenal of espionage and ”special”” operations: reveal scandals about an opposing political party, dismantle terrorist networks, sabotage foreign infrastructure, assassinate an opponent, send reconnaissance drones or position satellites to locate enemy units, etc.

INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS:
International organizations (over 50 organizations included) play an important role. At the UN, for example, the player can denounce a nation in order to obtain the Security Council’s authorization for a military intervention. The player can also create his or her own organization.

MAIN NEW FEATURES FOR 2021 EDITION:
Administration of the EU, Covid vaccinations, Biden’s Challenge, political coalitions, diplomatic negotiations, worldwide tax and free-trade agreements etc..

Prospective jailbreakers are banding together on /r/jailbreak to produce a growing bounty reward for the first jailbreak developer to release a jailbreak for iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.1.1.

　　近日，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）将5家中概股公司列入有退市风险的清单，包括百济神州、百胜中国、再鼎医药、盛美半导体、和黄医药。根据SEC此前披露，连续三年登上该清单的公司，将被禁止上市交易。

　　当日晚间，热门中概股遭遇集体大跌，38只中概股大跌超10%。其中，逸仙电商大跌超39.5%，贝壳大跌23.9%，爱奇艺跌21.7%，拼多多跌17.5%，京东跌超15.8%，哔哩哔哩跌超15%。

　　上述5只被纳入“预定摘牌名单”的中概股也集体下挫，截至收盘，百济神州跌5.87%，百胜中国跌10.9%，再鼎医药跌9%，盛美半导体跌22%，和黄医药跌6.5%。

　　对此，中国证监会11日凌晨发布了回应。“这是美国监管部门执行《外国公司问责法》及相关实施细则的一个正常步骤。我们此前已经多次就《外国公司问责法》的实施表明过态度。”

　　证监会表示，尊重境外监管机构为提高上市公司财务信息质量加强对相关会计师事务所的监管，但坚决反对一些势力将证券监管政治化的错误做法。

　　证监会进一步表示，近一段时间，中国证监会和财政部持续与美国公众公司会计监督委员会(PCAOB)开展沟通对话，并取得积极进展。我们相信，双方通过共同努力一定能够尽快作出符合两国法律规定和监管要求的合作安排，共同保护全球投资者合法权益，促进两国市场健康稳定发展。

　　据SEC披露的资料显示，上述被SEC纳入“预摘牌名单”的5只中概股，是基于《外国公司问责法》认定，如果外国上市公司连续三年未能提交美国上市公司会计监督委员会所要求的报告，SEC有权将其从交易所摘牌。

　　这五家公司可于3月29日前向SEC提供证据，证明自己不具备被摘牌的条件。若无法证明，则会被列入“确定摘牌名单”。
