Well, some people like the taste of this drink.
The other hand of the spectrum mostly thinks it tastes like what you would imagine a ashtray would taste like.
I’m part of the second kind. Had seen lots of people in the office drink it. Wanting to try it out gave it a shot. Absolutely regret that.

Uhhh niiiceee
Been a loyal bequiet customer before. Veeery interested how good those will come out to be
Edit: Looks nice but why in the hell is this thing not wireless? Or at least an option for a wireless variant?
Fully equipped variant costs 250 euros but is only USB pluggable. In what century are we living in?
