Vienna News — From the melodies of the Golden Hall to the mellow aroma of coffee in street-side cafés, Vienna has held a rigorous standard for centuries: extreme precision in craft, absolute authenticity in flavor, and an eternal pursuit of life’s aesthetics. The soul of this “World Capital of Art” resides not only in musical scores but also in every cup of classic coffee refined over time. At present, a silent transformation is unfolding with the arrival of a special “Coffee Barista” —— COFE+, the world’s First Fully Intelligent 6th Generation robot barista, which has achieved a Grand Slam of gold awards, has officially entered the city of Vienna.
Austrian Discernment: Where High-Tech Meets Uncompromising Precision
Vienna’s coffeehouse culture, inscribed on a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, defines global coffee standards through its unwavering dedication to perfection. The 6th Generation COFE+Fully Intelligent Coffee Robot embodies this exacting ethos in technological form.
Powered by a new-generation AI brain system and over 110 international patents, COFE+ converts every variable in coffee preparation into precisely controlled digital parameters. From grind weight and particle size to tamp density, water temperature (held at 92.5°C ± 0.1°C), extraction pressure (9 bar ± 0.2 bar), water flow rate, milk aeration, and milk foam texture—each element is regulated with micron and millisecond precision through closed-loop control. Whether brewing a classic “Wiener Melange” or a traditional “Einspänner”, COFE+ achieves 99.99% flavor restorability—closely matching, even replicating, the craftsmanship of Vienna’s most respected master baristas. To Viennese consumers, for whom authenticity is essential, COFE+ offers not just a close imitation, but a verifiable standard of genuineness that stands up to the most critical palate—surpassing human coffee masters in every cup.
Solving the “High-Cost” Dilemma: The Tireless “Digital Barista”
Austria’s high labor costs and increasingly aging population are challenging the sustainability of traditional service industries that rely on skilled professionals and intensive manpower. COFE+, with its fully intelligent, fully automated, and fully standardized operation—requiring zero staff, zero training, and delivering zero deviation—offers a critical efficiency solution by operating 24/7, 365 days a year for over a decade. It does not mean to replace the human warmth of classic cafés. Instead, it serves as an ever-present, never-tiring “model attendant” during peak hours, early mornings, late nights, and across high-traffic locations such as transportation hubs, 24-hour hotels, park pathways frequented by joggers and cyclists, suburban community centers, round-the-clock universities and hospitals, as well as busy or remote scenic spots.
COFE+ ensures uninterrupted commercial operation through its innovative dual‑system architecture. From hardware—dual order screens, dual cup-dispensing units, and dual cup-separation mechanisms—to backup processes including dual payment channels (supporting offline payment), dual ordering modes (online/offline), and dual production modes (reservation/on-site), along with dual-kitchen safeguarding (independent modules for coffee, milk tea, and chocolate) and a dual customer-service system (human + AI automated support), it achieves systematic excellence across the entire chain from ordering, payment, and preparation to after-sales. This “Zero-impact Single-point-failure” design guarantees 100% stable 24/7 operation.
COFE+’s unique AI predictive system intelligently monitors and alerts for refills, maintenance, and cleaning alerts. This ensures consistent service quality even during hours and in areas where human staff are scarce. Not only does it ease labor pressures for businesses, but in the context of an aging society, it also provides communities with stable, convenient, high-quality service nodes—effectively serving as smart infrastructure that supports quality of life in the “Silver Economy.”
Serving the “World Capital of Tourism”: A “Digital Café” Connecting Global Flavors
Every year, millions of tourists from around the world flock to Vienna, each bringing their own coffee habits and cultural expectations. COFE+ acts like a “Digital Servant” fluent in global languages and recipes, perfectly adapting to the diverse demands of this tourist capital. With its preloaded database of signature drinks from 197 countries and regions, it allows Italian visitors to instantly enjoy an authentic “Ristretto,” lets Turkish guests savor a genuine “Türk Kahvesi,” and continues to serve locals their beloved “Fiaker.” This “one-cup gateway to global tastes” surpasses the menu limits of any single traditional café.
Combined with a multilingual interactive interface and an accessible payment system, COFE+ significantly reduces language and transaction barriers for visitors. It has become a tech-forward touchpoint for Vienna—a city that warmly welcomes global guests—blending innovative service with heartfelt hospitality.
Elevating the Meaning of High-Quality Living: A Holistic Upgrade from Sustainability to Personalization
The Viennese pursuit of a high-quality life has long transcended mere material satisfaction, extending into green environmental consciousness and personalized experiences. In this regard, COFE+ sets a new industry benchmark. With over 95% of its components made from recyclable or biodegradable materials and energy consumption reduced to just 1/30th of a traditional café, utility and network costs totaling under a thousand RMB per month, its exceptional eco-efficiency resonates in deep frequencies with Austria’s strong societal commitment to sustainability.
At the same time, COFE+ offers truly personalized taste customization—from adjusting caffeine strength, sweetness, and temperature to creating 3D-printed designs featuring personal names, poetry, local landscapes, or personal photos on each coffee. This seamlessly blends standardized production with private tailoring, meeting the emotional and expressive needs of modern consumers, especially younger generations who seek both classic quality and individual identity. In doing so, COFE+ redefines what “high-quality coffee” can be—elevating the experience to a new level.
Behind 110+ Global Patents: Six Generations of Evolution in a Seven-Year Technology Sprint
The 110+ global patents stand as a solid milestone achieved by COFE+—the world’s First 6th generation Fully Intelligent Robot Barista—through seven years of relentless technological advancement. Over this period, COFE+ has been tested in over 1,000 locations worldwide, from its early days in Shanghai’s Zhongshan Park to the Terracotta Warriors site in Xi’an during the pandemic, from tropical Southeast Asia to cold Germany, and from the humid banks of Shanghai’s Huangpu River to the arid Middle East. In the most complex real-world commercial environments, it underwent rigorous trials, refinement, validation, and evolution across more than 1,000 landmark global scenarios.
Driven by massive amounts of data and continuous feedback, COFE+ achieved an astonishing pace of development—completing six generations of disruptive upgrades from version 1.0 to 6.0 within just seven years. Ultimately, it has realized precise replication and even surpassed top-tier human craftsmanship, transforming the concept of a “robot café” into a globally replicable standard of excellence.
The 6th generation COFE+ not only crafts “hand-poured latte art in every cup” and “3D-printed designs on each serving,” but also replicates champion-level human techniques with 100% accuracy—delivering a taste that rivals that of the world’s top cafés. Its smart store brain system masters 197 countries’ signature recipes, capable of preparing 7 major categories and 65 to 300 types of Michelin-standard beverages, each fully personalizable. It achieves industrial-grade consistency, producing up to a thousand cups daily with near-zero variance, while boasting exceptional durability—a lifespan of over 10 years and the capacity to brew more than 500,000 cups. What makes it revolutionary is its minimal operational demand: just 15 minutes of daily maintenance allows one person to manage ten stores, and a single refill enables continuous output of 300 cups, slashing overall operational costs by over 90%.
In this situation, it is no surprise that COFE+ has become the trusted “future café” for top-tier institutions worldwide—from the Party School of the Central Committee of the CPC and the Yan’an Executive Leadership Academy in China to the Davos Forum, Amazon, SAP, and Sodexo—delivering tireless, premium service to leading organizations across industries around the globe.
Igniting a Global Industry Revolution: The “Vienna Revelation” of COFE+
The arrival of COFE+ in Vienna carries symbolic significance far beyond commerce. It demonstrates how cutting‑edge artificial intelligence and robotics can—with humility and respect—integrate into and serve humanity’s oldest and most discerning cultural traditions. Representing a “light-store”—a new business model characterized by near‑zero reliance on human labor, extreme spatial efficiency, data-driven operations, globally standardized quality control, and high environmental friendliness—COFE+ offers a clear and replicable blueprint for the global brick-and-mortar service sector. This is especially relevant for developed cities like Vienna that face common challenges worldwide.
COFE+ does not follow Starbucks; it is defining the “Post‑Starbucks Era.” Moving beyond the “Third Place” theory put forward by Starbucks founder Howard Schultz, which centers on human interaction and spatial experience, COFE+ pioneers an entirely new age of “boundless service”—where robots serve people, artificial intelligence replaces human labor, and digital networks transcend physical boundaries.
