Robotic Barista

In the quest for the perfect cup of coffee, one company has made it possible for you to get exactly what you want – every time. The Coffee Haus robot doesn’t just make coffee; it does so with absolute robotic precision by automatically adjusting extraction parameters (i.e., the grind, ratio of beans to water, water temperature and brewing time) to deliver your perfect cup more quickly and reliably than human baristas can. One system can turn out about 100 cups an hour.

A smartphone app allows you to order remotely and pick up your beverage in a locked area via a code that is sent to you by text. Or you can place an order at kiosks located in shopping malls or on the street. But coffee shops equipped with one of these robotic baristas see them as an opportunity to free up human attendants to focus on customer service, and the robots have a personality of their own as they wave to onlookers.

Coffee Haus robots have been installed in several locations throughout Texas, California and even Shanghai.
