Can a $25,000 robot make better coffee than a barista?
Cafe X 2.0 looks like a high-end coffee kiosk. But instead of a person standing inside pulling the espresso shots and frothing the organic milk (or organic oat milk), it’s a six-axis robotic arm that’s doing the heavy lifting. A person still mans the kiosk, but she or he stand outside and is there to tell people about the coffees Cafe X serves—it offers three single-origin roasts, a blend, match lattes and cold brew—and answer questions about how the system works.
