Robot cafes such as Cafe X in the United States and Weird Cafe in Japan have come out one after another, while the Tokyo science and technology coffee shop "ROBOTS.COFFEE" is about to open. The store provides customers with coffee beans made by mobile phones, the degree of roasting, and then coffee made by the robotic arm, bringing a new experience for coffee lovers.

ROBOTS.COFFEE, which is currently operating in a trial mode, will open at Hashimachi-cho, Tokyo, Japan on January 21, 2019, and is also launching a fund-raising plan in Japanese group fundraising platform "Makuake".

At this stage, customers can order and pay through the device developed by the store, and replace cash payment with credit cards, transportation IC cards and electronic wallets. Then the robot barista will grind and brew the beans according to the number of beans and cups selected by the customer, and all processes do not require manual intervention.

As for why to open a robot coffee shop? Shibata Zhihui, the store manager, said that the taste of the same coffee beans will vary greatly due to the different ways of grinding and brewing. If you control all the factors through programming, will you be able to present coffee with the same taste? So he began to develop robot baristas.

Not only that, the store is also strengthening the skills of robot baristas and launching a customized coffee service in the form of fund-raising. In the future, customers can adjust the type of beans, the degree of grinding, the type of filter cup, the temperature of water, and the way of hand flushing through the mobile phone App.

The robot baristas in the store will follow the instructions to make the coffee that best meets the customer's expectations. At the same time, the QR Code of the custom-made coffee recipe can be shared with relatives and friends who are also coffee lovers.

The current fund-raising program includes coffee coupons, commemorative T-shirt, on-site coffee special experience, coffee beans, robot barista naming rights and so on, with prices ranging from 150 million yen to 1 million yen. What is worth the first phase is that the project has successfully raised funds on its first day of launch and will continue until January 2019.
