I did read it. They glossed over how they plan to reproduce complex organic molecules in a machine that the average consume can afford. There's some ability to "print" molecules. But what they are actually doing is using precursors to create related chemical compounds. These occur in large and expensive machines located in labs.
I mean it would be great if we had some Star Trek like technology where you could just ask for whatever beverage you wanted on the spot, but it sounds like the technology is a long ways away from there.
