A First Look at the Future of Fermentation

We’re heading to CES 2026. ✨

CES 2026 marks an important milestone for KOMBU. This year, we’re bringing KOMBU to the world stage with our pre-production Fermenstation units, built from current tooling and shown while final refinements are actively underway.

CES has always been the place where ideas move from concept to reality - and for us, this is the moment where years of design, engineering, and iteration become tangible.

Pre-Production, Real Hardware, Real Progress

At CES 2026, visitors to our Eureka Park booth will get hands-on with pre-production units that reflect the true form, function, and intent of the KOMBU Fermenstation.

These units are:

• Produced using current injection tooling

• Representative of final materials, finishes, and architecture

• Actively undergoing final modifications and refinements based on testing, feedback, and validation

This stage is intentional. We believe in showing real hardware - not vaporware - and being transparent about where we are in the journey. CES is part of that process.

Designing Fermentation for the Modern Home

KOMBU exists to modernize an ancient craft. Kombucha brewing has long been powerful, but messy, inconsistent, and intimidating. Our goal is to make fermentation approachable, reliable, and beautiful.

CES attendees will see how KOMBU:

• Uses all-glass fermentation chambers to avoid plastic contact

• Maintains precise temperature control for consistent results

• Simplifies brewing with guided timing and automation

• Fits naturally into a modern kitchen, both visually and functionally

Even in pre-production form, the essence of the product is clear - this is fermentation, reimagined.

Connected Hardware, Thoughtfully Applied

Technology is not the headline - it’s the enabler. KOMBU integrates connectivity where it adds real value, not noise.

With the KOMBU app, users can:

• Set 2 separate brewing timers

• Monitor temperature and timing

• Receive alerts when brews are ready

• Learn and experiment with confidence

CES 2026 is our opportunity to show how hardware and software come together to support a daily ritual, not complicate it.

CES as a Checkpoint, Not a Finish Line

Showing pre-production units at CES is not about declaring “done.” It’s about declaring momentum.

Tooling is active. Testing is ongoing. Refinements are in motion. And CES is a moment to share that process openly - with the people who care most about innovation, design, wellness, and food tech. With plans for shipping early 2026.

See KOMBU at CES 2026

We’ll be exhibiting in Eureka Park at the Venetian Expo, January 6-9. If you’re attending CES, stop by to see the KOMBU Fermenstation up close, experience our pre-production units, and talk with us about where fermentation is headed next.

This is the beginning of the final chapter before production - and we’re excited to share it.
