The Miracle Machine is an iOS-connected device that turns bread into fish. Wait, no… It turns water into wine. Only instead of doing it lickety-split to please an angry crowd like that Jesus fella did back in the time of the dinosaurs, it does it with grape juice and yeast, and takes however long it takes for wine to ferment to make.
Load up the machine, and it is controlled by your iPhone, which talks to the Arduino micro-controller inside. The Miracle Machine aerates the fermentation, controls temperature and measures the sugar content of the must to tell when the fermentation is done.
Apparently the wine comes out at around $2 per bottle, and you’ll be able to subscribe to an ingredients kit that’ll come to your door once a month.
I’m skeptical. If you live in somewhere like Spain, you can spend €2–3 and get a good bottle of wine. And you don’t have to wait weeks for it. And you also don’t have to buy a $500 machine to make it. And you don’t have to clean and sterilize the machine, which is the trickiest part of home brewing anyway.
But more important, this has gotten me thinking about the whole Jesus wine/water fish/bread thing. Why fish? It doesn’t keep, and bread is better anyway, right? Epic Fail, Jesus. Epic fail.
