There was a better article about Cafe X a few weeks ago on the front page where it was acknowledged by the creators that this is performance art and not actually a “$33K robot barista”.
- bhouston 8y agoIt is a performance, definitely. But that is what the Starbucks coffee experience is. It is a performance. That is why those machines look nice, they make a lot of sounds, and they use a lot of different equipment. That is their differentiator. There is tons of ways they could have automated that but they haven't because they need that performance, it is partially what you are paying for. If you disagree, you are misunderstanding the reason Starbucks had succeeded.
