It would be nice if the flower on the coffee could be customized into the pattern you want. Steam CC, an Internet of things company from Tel Aviv, Israel, did it! They showed off a 3D printing coffee machine, Ripple Maker, at CES, which uses a technology similar to 3D printing to make any photos and messages. Steam CC CEO Yossi Meshulam said the product was developed because of the desire for more smiles on people's faces and a combination of coffee and sociality.

Turn on Coffee Ripples App, take a selfie or upload a photo, and within 10 seconds, you can help consumers print the high-definition flowers they want on any drink with milk bubbles such as lattes or cappuccinos, making the coffee hotter. This news will certainly brighten the eyes of Taiwan's personalized coffee shops and become a good tool for building brands.

What is the secret of such magical technology? 'it 's a lot like the way 3D printers make things, 'Mr. Maxiulan said. Ripple Maker combines 3D printing and inkjet printing technology to print patterns on coffee bubbles by inkjet printing. As for the material used for inkjet, it is a special liquid made by the Steam CC team with natural coffee materials, so the pattern will have only one color.
