Brumachen Shark Tank Update

Brumachen Shark Tank Pitch

Kweku Larbi and Ross Smith appeared on Shark Tank Season 12, Episode 11, which aired on January 21, 2021, with single serve portable coffee brewer and biodegradable coffee pods.

Brumachen is listed in the Food Beverage category. In plain terms, the business is described as single serve portable coffee brewer and biodegradable coffee pods.

Brumachen asked the Sharks for $1,000,000 for 10%, implying a valuation of about $10 million.

The source data lists no completed on-air deal for Brumachen.

This pitch is included as context for the more important question: what happened after Shark Tank.

Brumachen After Shark Tank

Brumachen left Shark Tank without a deal. The portable coffee maker pitch had a big valuation and a Kickstarter backstory, but the company was already facing fulfillment problems before the episode aired. (Brumachen Shark Tank Update

Later coverage found unresolved Kickstarter complaints, broken or missing units, and a dormant public presence. SlashGear reported that the website was no longer functioning cleanly and that the social accounts had gone quiet after January 2021. (SlashGear Brumachen update

The business is best classified as out of business. Brumachen is one of the rougher Season 12 outcomes because the post-show issue was not merely slow growth, but basic delivery and trust around preorders. (Shark Tank Recap Brumachen update
