Tea making is a delicate process that only the truest of enthusiasts around the world appreciate. The time-honored tradition of sourcing the right..

Hallie Siegel’s insight:
This is more a tea-themed espresso machine than a robot, but it reminds me a bit of the “robot as marketing strategy” article that Andra Keay explored with the Rotimatic flatbread maker http://robohub.org/robot-as-marketing-strategy-bosch-takes-a-bet-on-rotimatics-consumer-flatbread-maker/. 

As a tea lover who hates when tea is burned by too-hot water, I’d buy it if I had $1200 to spare!! Or maybe I’ll just stick with my technique of ‘listening to my kettle’ to know when the water is just right.https://teforia.com/
