All-around Champion Stirs Up New Waves!6th-Generation COFE+ Coffee Robot Shines at the 35th Hong Kong Food Expo

From August 14 to 18, 2025, the 35th Food Expo, the 9th Beauty & Wellness Expo, and the 11th Home Delights Expo: organized by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council. It opened grandly at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai. Concurrently, the 3rd Gourmet & Food Expo and the 16th Hong Kong International Tea Fair were held from August 14 to 16. Together, these five exhibitions brought around 1,890 exhibitors from across the globe under the theme “Global Delicacies · Technology Empowered,” creating a one-stop sourcing and experience platform for both industry professionals and the public.

In this global feast of fine food and cutting-edge innovation, Shanghai Haitun Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. unveiled its 6th-generation COFE+ robot barista, integrating 3D printing, latte art, and flavor customization into one fully intelligent AI coffee machine. This showcase brought China’s world-leading coffee robot machine capabilities to the international stage.

All-Star Lineup: The 6th-Gen COFE+ Product Family Dazzles Hong Kong

As the “hidden champion” in the global coffee robot industry, COFE+ made a panoramic debut at the core exhibition zone with its 6th-generation product family. The six AI-powered models: Corner Robot Café, Embedded Robot Coffee Cabinet, Mini Robot Coffee Bar, Mobile Robot Coffee Kiosk, Southern Outdoor Robot Coffee Shop, and Northern Outdoor Robot Coffee Shop. Together, they formed a “most powerful team,” delivering all-scenario, all-hour, fully automated, full-category service, and becoming one of the most eye-catching “tech-meets-food” attractions of the Expo.

This smart coffee machine technology matrix, refined over six years of iteration, merges master-level coffee craftsmanship with advanced AI, perfectly adapting to diverse settings such as exhibitions, shopping malls, tourist attractions, and transport hubs.

The indoor version of the robot cafe takes up less than 2.35 m², yet can serve 50 to more than 300 drink varieties across 7 major categories, producing over 300 cups per refill. With its “small footprint, big capacity” design, it became the efficiency star of the event.

Tailored for Hong Kong’s climate, the outdoor version employs advanced insulation and intelligent temperature control to operate stably even in hot, humid, or sudden weather changes. This demonstrates all-weather adaptability.

World-Class Certifications and Global Recognition

COFE+ remains the only coffee robot machine certified by the U.S., EU, Commonwealth, Middle East, and United Nations quality authorities. It has previously been invited to the 2025 Davos Forum and the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference.

Its Hong Kong debut as the world’s first “light-store” robot cafe model is not only a perfect response to the Expo’s theme of “Smart Meets Food,” but also a sign that AI coffee machines have officially entered the stage of scaled commercial deployment.

Breaking Barriers: Six Core Advantages Redefining Coffee Technology Standards

Micron-Level Precision: Every Cup as a Work of Flavor Art
Equipped with an AI “Smart Store Brain,” the 6th-gen COFE+ robot barista achieves ingredient control down to the milliliter and microgram, automatically adjusting extraction pressure, water flow, grind size, and brew time. Using two types of coffee beans (commercial, competition-grade, award-winning, and SOE specialty), two milk types (dairy and plant-based), 8 syrups, and 10 nut powders, it creates hundreds of drinks personalized in strength, sweetness, temperature, flavor, and toppings.
Its advanced grinding and extraction technology preserves 99.99% of the beans’ original aroma, matching the quality of top baristas’ handcraft.

3D Printing + Latte Art: Unlocking “Coffee Freedom”
Whether it’s a hot, iced, or room-temperature drink, with reduced caffeine, less sugar, or extra toppings, COFE+ delivers truly personalized beverages: even printing photos, brand logos, or custom text in high-definition foam art.

With recipes from 197 countries and cities, updated weekly and monthly, the menu lets visitors “taste New York’s richness, Milan’s elegance, Tokyo’s freshness, and Paris’s romance. All without leaving Hong Kong.”

Smart Remote Management: Running a Café from Your Phone
The “Golden Finger” remote management system enables operators to control the entire robot cafe—start-up, shutdown, menu updates, recipe tweaks, and ad placement. Via a single smartphone, while monitoring supply use, sales, and machine health, with predictive maintenance alerts.

One employee can manage 10 machines, reducing operating costs by up to 90%. Just a few dozen cups a day can bring profits, thanks to ultra-low rent, labor, and utility costs.

High Durability: 10-Year Lifespan & 500,000-Cup Capacity
With a design life of over 500,000 cups and 10 years of operation, the AI coffee machine can produce 1,000+ cups daily with near-zero errors, running 24/7 unmanned with just 15 minutes of daily maintenance.

“Light Store” Revolution: Low-Cost, High-Efficiency Retail
Annual utility costs equal just half a month of a traditional café’s bills. Ingredient waste is nearly zero, telecom costs are minimal, and software runs at no extra cost. Even a premium Gesha estate coffee at HK$9.7 can retain over 50% gross margin.

Green Benchmark: Eco-Tech Integration
With 95% recyclable materials, 100% professional waste handling, and compliance with strict environmental standards in the U.S., Europe, and Japan, COFE+ has been dubbed the “Green Giant of the Coffee World.”

Global Footprint: From Hong Kong to the World

Deployed in over 50 countries and 100+ cities, COFE+ is visible from Caltech in California to Puerta del Sol in Madrid, from Dubai streets to Istanbul’s business districts.

It is the only coffee robot machine that integrates multi-national payment systems, POS hardware, communication protocols, and multi-language support.

Humanized Interaction: Warm Technology
The robot barista offers friendly greetings, product recommendations, and safety reminders through its virtual server feature, making customers feel at home. The 3D-printed latte art of Victoria Harbour and Bauhinia flowers became popular keepsakes at the Expo.

The Future is Here: A New Coffee Paradigm in Daily Life

“Our mission is to eliminate location risks, off-seasons, labor fatigue, and overpriced coffee forever,” said Dr. Han Feizi, founder of Hi-Dolphin Robot Technology.

From Beijing to Davos, from Shanghai to Hong Kong, COFE+ is driving a new industrial revolution in coffee service, bringing Michelin-level quality into everyday life, at everyday prices.
