Javabot - the Walk-in Coffee Machine

[speleomike]

Hi all

Now this really takes the cake. I came across this while reading slashdot.
http://www.gizmag.com/the-walk-in-coffee-machine/9177/
Its called "The Javabot" and it is a "walk-in coffee machine". According to the article it "delivers a coffee with your favourite blend of seven beans, plus how they are roasted, ground and the temperature at which the coffee is brewed, all inside 30 seconds."
Its also featured on designnews. http://www.designnews.com/index.asp?layout=article&articleid=CA6536515

OK it looks pretty neat and impressive. if one comes to Sydney Ill try it out :-)

Re: Javabot - the Walk-in Coffee Machine

whoever wrote the article either doesnt seem overly confident of its merits, or has a dodgy keyboard - its littered with question marks! :-?

Hi

Yeah the question marks... gizmag has pretty poor reviewing. The q. marks are in the spots where there should have been single or double quotes. Someone has probably just cut/pasted from an article in UTF-8 and characters above a certain value havent carried across into the HTML. One wonders if these writers check what stuff looks like before posting :-)

As for the walk-in machine - Id prefer a nice looking and competent Barista anyday :-)

My kid just visited one of these places in New York City this week-end and sent me this link to them: http://www.roastingplant.com/

I love the tech but I fear the beans may be too fresh for a great cuppa. :-/


Java "I want a JavaBot!" phile
