I reckon myself to be a one-star Michelin chef. This doesn’t mean that I am at par with some top-notch restaurant chef, it’s rather a secret code I use to rate my own culinary success. It’s only one out of five times that I am able to cook something worth eating, the rest of the time it’s just disappointment, hence the moniker.
Before you laugh at me, let’s be real. Cooking isn’t as easy as taking a dump. It at times can feel like a high-stakes game. You’ve got your pots simmering and veggies sizzling, suddenly there’s that moment of panic: how much spice do I add? Too little, and it’s bland; too much, and dinner’s a fiery disaster. So, what do we do? If you were in my shoes, you would either end up calling mom for advice or go through a YouTube tutorial. But by then, the dish has already lost its soul. Do we have an option? Oh yes, and it’s called Spicerr.
After its debut at CES 2025, the AI-powered spice dispenser is currently lighting up Kickstarter with its promise to take the guesswork out of seasoning and turn the most timid home cook into a culinary wizard. After you have gone through its features below, you’ll second the thought that this guy has what it takes to make a successful campaign.
The concept is simple but brilliant. Spicerr is a handheld device that uses capsules filled with premium spices, herbs, and flavorings, dispensing them with pinpoint precision at the tap of a button. I am sold! It’s a big thing for me; I don’t have to guggle jars or eyeball a teaspoon. Spirerr holds six capsules at a time, and its touchscreen display on top lets you dial in exact measurements or even blend spices on the fly.
The starter kit comes with 12 capsules, covering essentials like salt, pepper, and paprika, but the possibilities expand with chef-crafted blends and custom mixes you can order later from the company website. I’m already dreaming of the BBQ collection for summer grilling. That’s not all. Spicerr comes with a companion app that learns your taste preference over time and even suggests spice combos best suited for you. The app also lets you upload your own recipes. Phew, that’s too much to digest.
Early backers can snag it at $128, though it’s a bit of a splurge. But if it can deliver what it promises, Spicerr could be worth every penny. However, the most intriguing aspect, its AI integration, hasn’t been met with much enthusiasm.

TechCrunch criticized Spicerr for not being able to grind and using $15-$20 proprietary capsules that can’t be refilled. Ars Technica on the other hand questioned the very philosophy behind the product. Well, whatever the case, I find something interesting here and am tempted to try every product that is intended to simplify our everyday chores.
To get the facts, I got in touch with team Spicerr, which told me, “The right price is $1.7-3 depending on the type of spice and quantities, and it’s competitive with high-quality spices on the market with ALL the values we bring the customer—premium spices, convenience, extended freshness, digital inventory, personalization, and much more.”
Spicerr has what it takes to become the secret ingredient our kitchen has been missing. That said, we will have to wait until we can get the product for hands-on review and contemplate its feasibility.
