The iPhone-Controlled Topbrewer Coffee Machine Concept

If you’ve ever fantasized about making a perfect coffee—complete with steamed milk—without lifting a finger or waiting in line, there’s now a concept machine that promises just that. But is it really possible to control your coffee brew remotely, adjust temperature, and get both espresso and milk-based drinks from one sleek unit?

Yes. The Scanomat Topbrewer is a fully integrated, cabinet-hidden coffee system with a minimalist touchscreen faucet interface. It can be controlled via iPhone app, brews coffee and milk drinks, adjusts temperature, and comes in two versions: the feature-rich Pro model and the more compact Office edition.

What Is the Scanomat Topbrewer?

The Scanomat Topbrewer looks like a simple kitchen faucet with a touchscreen panel—but it’s actually the visible part of a fully enclosed, under-counter coffee system. Designed by Danish company Scanomat, the machine houses a complete automated brewing setup including grinder, water heater, pump, and milk processing system, all concealed within a cabinet.

The front interface allows users to select drinks, adjust settings, and initiate brewing via touch. It connects directly to the internal brewing components to control every step of the process: grinding, dosing, heating water, extracting coffee, and foaming or heating milk.

Key Features and Functionality

The Topbrewer isn’t just a pretty dispenser. It offers a range of advanced features aimed at both commercial and high-end home use:

• Touchscreen interface with intuitive drink selection and customization
• Integrated milk processing system for heating and foaming
• Adjustable water and milk temperature control
• iPhone remote control via dedicated app
• Choice between multiple beverage outputs (up to three separate taps)

The accompanying app allows you to turn the machine on or off remotely, and choose whether each of the three outlets dispenses coffee or milk. That means one tap could be set for espresso, another for milk, and a third for a milk-based drink—all managed from your phone.

Two Models: Pro vs. Compact Office

Scanomat offers two versions of the Topbrewer to suit different needs:

• Topbrewer Pro: The professional model includes 2 grinders, 3 high-speed heating boilers, and is built for high-volume environments like cafés or offices with heavy traffic. It can brew more cups in a shorter time thanks to its extra grinding and heating capacity.
• Topbrewer Compact Office: Designed for smaller spaces such as home kitchens or small offices, this version has 1 grinder and 2 boilers. It’s more compact but still delivers full automation and smartphone control.

Both models share the same core functionality: automated coffee and milk beverage production, temperature control, and touchscreen or iPhone-based operation. The differences lie mainly in capacity and the number of modules.

How It Works

Here’s how the system functions step-by-step:

• User selects a drink via the touchscreen or iPhone app
• The system activates the appropriate grinder (if making coffee)
• Water is heated to the selected temperature using one of the boilers
• Coffee is extracted and milk is either heated or frothed via the integrated milk system
• The selected beverage is dispensed through the chosen faucet

All of this happens automatically and can be monitored or adjusted remotely. The design ensures speed, consistency, and minimal user effort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I really control the Topbrewer with my iPhone?

Yes. The Topbrewer includes an app that lets you operate the machine remotely. You can turn it on or off, and select whether each of the three taps dispenses coffee or milk. This allows for customized drink setups without needing to interact with the physical interface.

Does the Topbrewer grind its own coffee?

Yes. Both the Pro and Compact Office models have built-in grinders. The Pro model includes two grinders, while the Compact Office has one. This enables it to brew fresh coffee automatically as part of the integrated system.

What kinds of drinks can the Topbrewer make?

The Topbrewer is designed to produce both coffee and milk-based beverages. It can dispense espresso-style coffee, frothed or heated milk, and combinations of the two. The exact options depend on how the taps are configured via the interface or app.

Is the milk system sanitary?

Yes. The Topbrewer includes a dedicated milk processing system that handles heating and frothing. The system is designed to maintain hygiene standards, though regular cleaning is required to ensure food safety.

Which model is better for home use?

The Compact Office version is more suitable for home or small office use due to its smaller size and single grinder setup. The Pro model is built for high-capacity environments and includes extra modules for faster, higher-volume brewing.
