Industry-leading: COFE+ 6th Generation Unleashes Multi-innovation Shockwaves

At the conference forum, Shanghai Hi-Dolphin Robot Technology Co., Ltd. officially unveiled a series of disruptive breakthroughs for the COFE+ 6th Generation Fully Intelligent Robot Coffee Kiosk, sending shockwaves through the industry. As the world’s first coffee robot to iterate to a sixth generation, COFE+’s “Smart Brain” now delivers micron-level control across the entire coffee-making process, redefining technical standards for the coffee sector.

Microgram-level precision in quality control makes COFE+ a true coffee master. The Gen‑6 model is powered by an AI store brain that precisely doses ingredients down to milliliters and micrograms, and automatically tunes extraction pressure, water flow rate, grind size, and brew time. With flexible combinations spanning 2 types of coffee beans (covering commercial beans, competition beans, award-winning beans, and SOE specialty beans), 3 mainstream beverage bases, 4 kinds of fresh dairy (animal and plant-based), 5 cup formats, 6 bottled water options, 7 nut powders/granulates, and 8 syrup varieties, the system crafts hundreds of fully personalized drinks—tailored by strength, sweetness, temperature, speed, flavor, toppings, color, and cup size. Exceptional grinding and extraction technology preserves 99.99% of the beans’ original aromatics, while precision dosing unlocks layered flavors on the palate. After tasting, judges from the World Coffee Championships remarked: “This is the only coffee robot that lets specialty beans shine in their purest form, with quality on par with top artisans’ handcrafted coffee.” These signature cups reinforce COFE+ as a benchmark among robot coffee counter brands.

Person$alized for Every Palate: COFE+ a Coffee Magician

From precise temperature preferences—hot, iced, or cold—to tailored flavor profiles such as low-caf, extra sweet, or light ice, COFE+ delivers fully customized beverages with ease. It supports 3D foam printing of photos, scenic images, brand logos, and personalized text, as well as a wide range of latte art designs—each crafted to perfection. This level of personalization helps global buyers compare options and buy robot coffee solutions that boost customer engagement and brand storytelling.

On-site staff explained: “The robot’s intelligent brain stores thousands of signature beverage recipes from 197 countries and cities worldwide and stays connected to the cloud for instant updates. New menus roll out weekly, new products launch monthly, and consumers can enjoy something different every day—making it a true coffee master. Here, you can taste New York, savor Milan, experience Tokyo, appreciate Paris, and relish Beijing—truly ‘traveling the world by flavor without going abroad.’”

The Game-Changer: COFE+ 6th Generation Delivers Full Intelligent Remote Control

Powered by the advanced “COFE+ Smart Store Brain,” operators can manage the entire workflow from a single smartphone—power on/off, menu updates, recipe adjustments, ad scheduling, audio playback—while monitoring ingredient consumption, sales data, and device status in real time, with proactive fault alerts. “One phone to run a store, one employee to manage 10 machines, and operating costs down by 90%.” According to the on-site lead, traditional cafés spend over 60% on rent, labor, and energy. With COFE+’s unmanned operation and precise consumption control, the break-even point drops dramatically; profitability can be achieved with just dozens of cups sold per day—truly ending losses in cafés, ending hardship in the service industry, and ending the struggle for shop owners. For procurement teams evaluating robot coffee business manufacturers, this remote-control advantage simplifies operations and de-risks the decision to buy robot coffee systems.

Through AI learning, COFE+ converts the craft and expertise of champion baristas into code and standardizes chain café menus into scientific parameters, achieving near-100% faithful replication. Every drop is finely extracted, and every cup reproduces a master barista’s refined taste. Compared with champion human baristas, COFE+ ensures each cup matches the high quality of world-class cafés. The COFE+ coffee robot operates with exceptional precision, consistency, and stability, eliminating product variability caused by human factors, time, or training. It is the world’s first to run stably and deliver thousands of cups per day with near-zero deviation, with flavor on par with renowned cafés such as Peet’s—achieving, for the first time globally, performance that surpasses human professional baristas and setting a new industry benchmark worldwide.

Green Giant: A New-Generation “Light Store” for Energy Saving, Sustainability, and Cost-Efficient Growth

Compared with the traditional café model weighed down by heavy labor, high rent, and complex management, COFE+, compact yet powerful, redefines the operating logic of brick-and-mortar retail. On the cost side, COFE+ delivers a true step change. It achieves a continuous daily output of over 1,000 cups with near-zero deviation and fluctuation. A five-cup parallel brewing algorithm boosts throughput to three times that of a typical café. With just a 15-minute daily maintenance routine, the system supports fully unmanned operations for the rest of the day, running 24/7 to reliably generate revenue. Annual water and electricity costs are low, roughly equivalent to half a month’s consumption for a traditional store. Raw material waste is almost zero. Connectivity costs amount to only over 40 dollars per month, according to the real operating data from some of our locations in China, and software runs at zero cost. “Even at a friendly price of 9.7 yuan per cup for Gesha specialty coffee, we can maintain a gross margin of over 50%,” said Dr. Han, founder of Shanghai Hi-Dolphin Robot Technology Co., Ltd., in his keynote. “With COFE+ innovation, enjoying premium coffee at accessible prices is now a daily reality for everyone.”

On the environmental side, COFE+ has set an industry benchmark. 95% of its materials are recyclable or reusable, and 100% of coffee grounds, wastewater, and other waste are collected for professional treatment rather than discharged, achieving near-zero pollution. Its controls on electronic hazards and end-of-life product recycling meet the most stringent standards in Europe, the United States, and Japan. With safety fully compliant across land, sea, and air transport, COFE+ is hailed as the “Green Giant” of the coffee world. COFE+ 6.0 aligns closely with the green, low-carbon, and sustainable development principles, standing as a new model for green development in the robotics industry.

Virtual Waiter: COFE+ Brings Abundant Emotional Value to Coffee

Unlike the cold feel of traditional robots, COFE+ uses technological innovation to add a human touch. Its Virtual Waiter feature serves as a bridge between technology and culture, mimicking human staff to greet customers, introduce new products, explain promotions, and provide reminders. Consumers can customize male/female voice, timbre, volume, and language, with real-time image and video broadcasts for a warmer, more personable interaction, and even hands-free ordering via voice. It supports languages used in 197 countries, including Chinese, English, Russian, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. “I placed my order and immediately got a voice prompt: ‘Your iced Americano is being prepared. Please note the cup may be cold when you pick it up.’ Such attentive service!” Customers are full of praise after experiencing it.
