Hong Kong Electronics Fair Spotlight: COFE+ Unveils the World’s First 6th Generation Coffee Robot, a 2.35 m² Profit Powerhouse

At the 2025 Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition), COFE+ drew packed crowds around a coffee robot occupying just 2.35 square meters. Local reporters tested the “all round champion” that promises to redefine the coffee industry, investigating its performance, technology, and business value. As interest from outdoor robot coffee kiosk manufacturers and robotic coffee kiosk suppliers grows, COFE+ positioned itself as a category leader aligned with automated coffee solutions brands seeking scalable innovation.

Champion Quality: Robot vs. Barista

To verify barista-level output, three professional baristas conducted blind tastings of COFE+ lattes, americanos, and cappuccinos against hand-made equivalents. All participants failed to reliably distinguish the two. A 12-year veteran noted, “If no one told me, I’d assume this latte was made by an experienced barista.” The result supports COFE+’s claim of replicating championship-level craftsmanship, a benchmark increasingly referenced by industry stakeholders evaluating automated systems.

Engineers on site explained that COFE+ is the world’s first coffee robot to reach the 6th generation. Trained on 3.5 million cups of production data, it delivers micron-level control over grind size, extraction pressure, and flow rate, ensuring consistent quality in every cup. This precision is central to the standards pursued by automated coffee solutions brands across international markets.

A Full Beverage Universe: Up to 300 Choices for Any Venue

Across two days of testing, COFE+ felt like a “drink laboratory.” Its portfolio spans seven categories, including, espresso, americano, western milk tea, matcha, chocolate, and plant-based beverages, thus offering 65 to 300 SKUs adaptable to offices, malls, schools, and transport hubs. In high-density, multi-demand cities like Hong Kong, a sub-2 m² “micro beverage center” provides flexible, efficient coverage of diverse tastes, a capability frequently requested by outdoor robot coffee kiosk manufacturers serving transit and outdoor venues.

From Latte Art to Printed Art: 3D Latte Printing as Social Currency

Beyond taste, COFE+ elevates visual delight. Reporters watched the robotic arm render Hong Kong’s regional emblem onto milk foam in under two minutes with precision superior to human hands. Its 3D printing pushes personalization further: visitors left with lattes printed with Victoria Harbour night views, “an edible keepsake.” Founder Dr. Han noted the feature’s popularity with enterprises and scenic sites for photos and logo-printed drinks, a differentiator noted by robotic coffee kiosk suppliers competing on experiential value.

Operations Revolution: One Person Remotely Manages 10 Stores

With special access, reporters tested COFE+’s cloud platform, which allows full remote control—power, menu updates, recipes, and promotions—from a single phone. Operators can manage devices across Hong Kong Island and Kowloon without leaving home. Real-time sales reports, inventory monitoring, and 30-second fault alerts with auto-generated repair plans reduce reliance on specialist technicians, letting non-technical investors run the business easily. Such remote orchestration is increasingly a priority among automated coffee solutions brands aiming for multi-site efficiency.

Field data impressed: each unit needs just 15 minutes of daily maintenance; ingredient waste is near zero; utilities cost roughly 50% of a traditional café. By cutting Hong Kong’s two highest costs, rent and labor, COFE+ reaches profitability at 40–50 cups per day versus 200 for conventional cafés. One investor reported 150 cups daily in an office deployment and full payback within eight months, a benchmark that appeals to robotic coffee kiosk suppliers focused on rapid ROI.

A Global Coffee Money Machine: Why Investors Pay 100x Valuations

In multilingual tests (Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English), ordering was accurate and seamless. COFE+ holds FDA (U.S.), CE (EU), GCC (Middle East), and more, supports 197 languages and local payment systems, and accepts cards, mobile pay, and cash. Its global adaptability unlocks cross-border operations and aligns with automated coffee solutions brands seeking standardized compliance.

COFE+ is currently the only outdoor coffee robot kiosk with over five years of safe operation and certified technical safety. The chassis withstands typhoons, heat, cold, electromagnetic interference, heavy rain, direct sun, and sand, functioning from –20°C to 50°C—foundational for global scale and directly relevant to outdoor robot coffee kiosk manufacturers building for harsh environments.

“Our devices operate in 50+ countries and are profitable in each market,” said founder Dr. Han Feizi, underscoring a key reality: while traditional brands battle regionally, COFE+ has built a replicable global profit network. Investors aren’t just buying a café—they’re buying a model that scales anywhere, which explains the premium valuations, a narrative resonating with robotic coffee kiosk suppliers across continents.

When Sustainability Becomes Strategy: Why COFE+ Is the Only Answer

COFE+ turns eco design into consumer motivation. Like Manner’s “bring-your-own-cup” movement, sustainability is now a lifestyle statement. With near-zero emissions, 95% recyclable materials, centralized waste treatment, and compliance with EU plastic bans and global transport safety rules, COFE+ makes every cup an environmentally friendly choice. Energy use is 30% lower than traditional shops, reinforcing a complete green narrative where customers buy into values as much as caffeine. This shift from cost to brand asset is increasingly adopted by automated coffee solutions brands seeking competitive differentiation.

In an era transformed by intelligent technology, COFE+ proves that the best investments solve real problems. A 2.35 m² footprint—once suited only for a counter—now rewrites the rules of coffee: not bigger, but smarter; not just faster, but steadier; not merely cheaper, but truly worth it. As automation-focused coffee vendors converge on the sector, COFE+ stands out as a blueprint for scale, efficiency, and sustainability.
