I’m actually completely happy mobile ordering and never making contact with a barista. Maybe automats will make a reappearance.
- azinman2 2y agoThere are already coffee and espresso machines that will do this for you, in a wide range of complexity. There will always be people who don’t want to interact with other humans. There are likely even more who do.
