This espresso maker does not use plastic coffee pods
Cafelat, a manual espresso coffee maker, has smashed its fundraising target on Kickstarter.
An espresso-making coffee robot that eliminates the need for plastic coffee pods has beaten its Kickstarter fundraising target.
Hong Kong-based company Cafelat has launched its Cafelat Robot, a manual coffee maker that gives its users a high-quality espresso with just ground coffee and hot water.
The robot, first created in 2015, is designed to work with freshly ground coffee or supermarket ground coffee, eliminating the need for plastic coffee capsules.
Paul Pratt, founder of Cafelat, said: “Do not be fooled by the toy-like cutesy Robot looks, the robot means business and is capable of pulling espresso shots like a professional machine.”
Each coffee robot costs from 1,870 dollars (around £170), and the devices are estimated to be delivered by September 2018.
