Recently, reporters visited a national research institute, a place that gathers brilliant scientific achievements, attracting scholars and researchers who came to visit. As a treasure in the field of scientific research, this national research institute, despite the passage of time, still retains rich research history and profound scientific connotations. Now, COFE+ robot barista service is available here, offering freshly ground coffee. These technological achievements not only meet the research needs of scholars but also bring the brilliance of modern technology to the entire research institute.
As the world's leading full-function robot coffee kiosk, occupying an area of less than 2.5 square meters, it provides two types of coffee beans, two cup sizes, and three temperature options (hot, cold, and iced). Customers can freely choose the strength, temperature, sweetness, ice amount, and weight. The reporter learned that the coffee machine can not only grind coffee beans but also make Western-style milk tea, Japanese matcha, and more than 50 flavors of chocolate beverages. It takes about 50 seconds on average to make one cup, and it can simultaneously make five cups, which is truly remarkable in the industry. "The COFE+ robot coffee kiosk is fully enclosed for sterilization and dust removal, intelligently cleans and disinfects, automatically produces products, operates 24/7, and can continuously produce 200-300 cups with a single refill. Only 30 minutes of maintenance and replenishment are needed per day," explained a staff member from Shanghai Hi-Dolphin Robot Technology Co., Ltd.
Following the staff's introduction, the reporter also experienced a cup of freshly ground coffee made by the robot on-site. By scanning a QR code on their phone to place an order, a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee popped out from the machine within a few minutes, arriving effortlessly in the reporter's hand. It was not only delicious but also convenient.
It is understood that the COFE+ robot coffee kiosk has been on the market since 2019. Despite facing three years of pandemic challenges and a global economic downturn, its progress remains unstoppable. While establishing itself in Shanghai and targeting the domestic market, the product has gone through five updates and iterations, leading the global market for similar products. It is widely regarded as the most stable, high-performing, and best-tasting coffee robot in the industry. Furthermore, it continues to expand into overseas markets, from initial exports to Australia, North America, and Europe, to now covering the entire globe. It has also been widely invited to prestigious international exhibitions such as the National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the World Coffee Championships, China International Consumer Products Expo, and China International Import Expo, gaining extensive recognition from professionals and high-end individuals both domestically and abroad.
As of 2023, the COFE+ fully intelligent robot coffee kiosk has undergone five years of continuous testing and improvement, completing five product upgrades. The latest fifth-generation version of the COFE+ robot barista, now available in China, has surpassed 75% of traditional physical coffee shops in daily cup sales.
