Buyer: who owns the budget?
Home coffee drinkers (consumers) subscribing online.
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
Running out of coffee or stale beans; want automatic reordering at the right time.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Buy a first bag or take a taste quiz, set up the Bottomless smart scale over WiFi, store coffee on it, and the scale reorders freshly roasted coffee based on usage.
