Using AI to optimize the coffee drinking experience
This year at the CES in Las Vegas, the Cimbali Group paired up with Visup to transform how coffee machines and their users interact. Thus providing “substantial support for maintenance services and after-sales assistance”. By showcasing the fully automatic coffee machine LaCimbali S30, Cimbali Group and Visup demonstrate a synergy between technical expertise in the coffee industry and artificial intelligence.
Here the idea is to improve the operational efficiency. This means an optimization of the product by reducing waste of time, effort and material, while keeping a high quality. AI helps the customer get the best outcome of the bought product. Similary, redefining the after-sales support standards in the industry.
“Designed to boost your coffee menu”, with the LACimbali S30, one can connect to the CUP4YOU app, allowing the user to design their coffee via smartphone. Thus specifying the recipe to one’s own liking. For example, controlling the milk and coffee ratio, the intensity of the coffee, the emulsion of the milk and much more. Group Servies Director of Cimbali Group, Edgardo Ferrero, marks this collaboration as “an evolutionary leap for the entire industry”. He further states that this “digital innovation can unlock new possibilities, even in a traditional sector like coffee”.
In the machine, users will find an automated grinding system, a smart boiler, milk frother, and the option to operate the machine remotely via phone.
Using AI and connected technologies enhances the experience for both operators and consumers. Hence leading the entire industry into a new era.
