Revolutionary Coffee Maker Water Filling System Looking For Seed Funding

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - April 1, 2015 - PRLog -- Coffee lovers rejoice! There’s a new way of making your morning pot coming soon! For all of us who enjoy fresh brewed coffee in our homes, we go through a similar routine of pulling out our coffee maker from under the cabinets so we can lift a lid (or pull out a water reservoir), take the carafe over to the sink or fridge, fill it up, take it back to the coffee maker and fill up the reservoir so we can proceed to make our favorite brew. Sound familiar?

Mark Bennett, Founder and inventor of Magic Filler, decided to go about changing this routine. He has invented a simple device that will turn any coffee maker with a plastic water reservoir into an automated water filling coffee maker. With the “Magic Filler” system installed, you simply turn a valve attached to the side of your coffee maker to enjoy an accurate and no mess involved pot of coffee.

About 3 years ago, Mark lost 100% of vision in his left eye due to a retina detachment. This lead to complications of depth perception…which ultimately lead to finding a better way to fill the family coffee maker. Even before his loss of depth perception, pouring the water back into the coffee maker had always been an often messy procedure. More times than not, the water would spill and leave a mess to clean up. Along with the mess came inaccuracy as he often had to add a “little more” to get the water to the right level.

Armed with a problem, Mark went looking for a solution. He scoured the Internet looking for a product that would suit his needs. The only thing he could find were very expensive (and ugly) commercial coffee makers used in the Restaurant industry for years, along with a few people on eBay who cobbled together aquarium and toilet parts to put together homemade renditions that not only looked terrible, but had no way of attaching to our coffee maker. “Not only were they ugly, but they were about $50.00”, Mark said. “I also found Kuerig has their own version of a replaceable reservoir designed for a water line to be attached. Well, we don’t have a Kuerig, and the price of that one was over $80.00 AND it didn’t include any plumbing”.

Mr. Bennett then took matters into his own hands. “I looked at the general issue I had of making a mess while making a pot of coffee and decided there could very well be a huge need for a way to convert any coffee maker into an automated water filling unit at an affordable cost”, Mark stated. “I first looked into a Patent search to see what I could dig up, thinking somebody must have had this idea prior to myself. I found the only Patents on file are for specific machines, dating back to 1974. I had mechanical drawing skills from way back I put to use, and after a few months of research and developement, “Magic Filler” was born. We applied for our provisional Patent and our non provisional is being drafted as we speak”

The “magic” behind Magic Filler is the Patent Pending mounting plate that not only simplifies installation, but allows attachment to any coffee maker with a plastic water reservoir (over 95% including the wildly popular single serve coffee makers such as Kuerig). The “basic” kit will include all plumbing needed to install the system and have a MSRP of $24.95. Premium kits are also in the pipeline, which will include electronic versions that will offer push button operation and auto shutoff features.

Mr Bennett and his family have dedicated themselves into making this convenient and economical product a success. “Molds, materials and marketing are our biggest obstacle, as our funds are depleted” Mark told us. “We are blessed to be a participant in 2015 One Spark Crowdfunding Festival in Jacksonville, Florida April 8-12th. We have a great display to showcase our groundbreaking product to what’s expected to be over 300,000 attendee’s. We will be handing out samples of coffee made through our Magic Filler converted coffee makers at the food court in the Jacksonville Landing. We have our fingers crossed we will attract Angel Investors or Seed Funders who will be as excited about our business plan as we are. We are also hoping participants (and anyone else who downloads the One Spark App) will vote or contribute to us...It IS a crowdfunding festival at heart”.

After One Spark, Mr. Bennett plans on seeking out Venture Capital through various sources. “Our gross profit margins, huge potential market, wrapped together with our passion should be quite attractive to investors”, Mark stated. “Our plans also include employing Jacksonville’s disadvantaged community, offering a living wage to those who might not necessarily have had that option in the past”

Look for Mark and Magic Filler at the Jacksonville Landing April 8-12. He will be happy to share his plans over a cup of coffee with any potential investors who are ready to help bring this great product to Home Centers, handyman services, plumbing supply houses and more!
