Spinn has been taking pre-orders for their coffee maker since 2017, though an original shipping date of mid-2017 was missed but as for 2020 customers have received their orders.

As of Jan 2020, Spinn has announced shipping dates on their website. Spinn closed a $20MM funding round in 2021 - bringing the total to $37MM.
