anyone know of companies working on this problem? news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3

I don't know of any software ("MDM for seniors"), consulting ("MSP for seniors"), or membership/mailing list (a quarterly "AARP Tech Recommendations" with the changes in these comments - "Hand this flyer to your kids or grandkids").

arguably would be the ideal distributor, and maybe the only way to get the CAC and price low enough.

This feels so decadent to me - As I get older and live alone with my 78 yo mom and I'm not exactly the strongest physically trying to lift those 5 gallons bottles to perch on top of the dispenser (we live in an area with hard water of questionable quality and safety and I can't afford a whole reverse osmosis- soft water system) I need water delivery without the hardship of lifting huge bottles.. enter.. AquaBarista (water bottle on the bottom!)
