Definition: barista bot
A robot that makes specialty coffees such as espressos, lattes and cappuccinos. Capable of making a variety of coffee drinks, barista bots are expected to assist or replace human baristas at coffee counters. Barista means bartender in Italian and human baristas today work at coffee shops such as Starbucks and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf. See robot.
A Barista Bot in Action
Barista bots can do most everything a human can do, including creating "latte art" as in this example. This barista bot from Artly was designed to assist human baristas rather than replace them. (Image courtesy of Artly Coffee.)
