Ordering a cup of coffee is now as simple as reaching for your smartphone. Launch an app, tap the screen a couple of times and, as soon as a minute later, your order could be ready, prepared by a “robotic barista” kiosk created by Austin-based Briggo. Story from The Texas Statesman.
The first — and so far only — Briggo kiosk opened late last year in the Flawn Academic Center on the University of Texas campus. Measuring about 130 square feet, the orange-and-white box makes a variety of hot and iced coffee drinks, as well as lemonade for folks who aren’t caffeine fiends.
In addition to the mobile app and online, walk-up orders can also be placed using a touchscreen.
“We’re all about precision, quality and convenience,” said founder Charles Studor, a former Motorola employee who built the first several Briggo prototypes in his garage starting about four years ago. “You essentially have a championship barista at your service 24 hours a day.”
