Java Automatica: The Coffee Haus Kiosk

Posted on August 5, 2013 by Jamie Brady   comments

 

It's Monday morning, and if you're one of the 54% of American adults who drink coffee every day, today's cup was extra important to get your week started, just like most Mondays. You may have even had to do the zombie walk to your favorite place to get that coffee, only to stand in line with your fellow groggy java imbibers. And you're at the mercy of the barista to get your order right; but even if they didn't get your order right, you'll drink it anyway because you have no time and are not awake enough yet to fight that injustice.

So what if there was a way to have your coffee ready at the exact time you wanted it, made the exact way you like it, by a push of a button? Well then you'll love the Coffee Haus. The Coffee Haus is a coffee kiosk being developed by startup firm Briggo and industrial designer Yves Béhar's company, Fuseproject. Coffee Haus is a stand-alone 4ft x 12ft x 8ft kiosk designed to look, feel, and smell like a real coffee shop. It works with a smart phone app that allows you to order your cup of goodness just how you like it, and choose what time you'd like it to be ready. And because we know machines are perfect, the coffee making process removes human error. Just in case, the app allows you to provide feedback on your last order so you can dial in that perfect cup next time. Users who forgot their phone or don't have service can use the touch screen to place their order.

The Coffee Haus has only been put into service so far on the University of Texas campus.

What do you think about this? Is this sacrilege? Is the perfect cup really perfect without the experience of dealing with a snooty, dreadlocked barista?
