According to CBS reports, China's coffee consumption has shown significant growth over the past four years, with coffee imports increasing by 16% annually. Additionally, as one of the world's most populous countries, coffee drinking has become a new lifestyle choice among young people in China, making the Chinese coffee market infinitely promising. According to analysis by Forward Industry Research Institute, China will become the world's third-largest coffee consumer market after the United States and Brazil by 2021, with the Chinese coffee market reaching 110 billion yuan.

Coffee Robots Emerge During Pandemic

During the pandemic, while many industries declined, emerging industries were simultaneously spawned, and the artificial intelligence sector entered a golden development period. The development of intelligent industries once again took center stage in history. At the end of January this year, Shanghai entered the "Two Sessions" period. Besides policies concerning the public, the cofe+ coffee robot that appeared at the Two Sessions also attracted everyone's attention.

The cofe+ coffee robot appeared promptly during Shanghai's pandemic outbreak, supporting the Two Sessions by providing safe coffee beverages for representatives and ensuring the smooth convening of the meetings. According to Two Sessions staff, the cofe+ coffee robot requires no human involvement from ordering to pickup, achieving complete automation and transparency. The cofe+ coffee robot uses only one robotic arm operation mode, which fully complies with pandemic-era requirements. With no external contamination and a fully enclosed operating environment, it ensures consumer safety during the pandemic.

Moreover, besides having the functions of ordinary self-service vending machines, the cofe+ coffee robot operates year-round without rest, requires no staff, saves labor costs, and has no business hours restrictions, allowing consumers to enjoy freshly ground coffee anytime, anywhere. Regarding coffee flavor, consumers need not worry - the coffee beverages made by the cofe+ coffee robot approximate the taste of freshly ground coffee. Using fresh materials, it can provide over 50 flavors, 2 types of coffee beans, 8 toppings, and other personalized options. According to Two Sessions staff, the coffee made by the cofe+ coffee robot tastes almost identical to that of traditional coffee chain stores. As for pricing concerns, the coffee made by the cofe+ coffee robot is both delicious and priced in the 10-15 yuan range. Currently, cofe+ coffee robots are already in use and can be found in crowded places such as Shanghai's shopping malls, office buildings, and subway stations.

Many leaders at the venue are very optimistic about the business model of the cofe+ coffee robot. While saving labor, it also showcases Shanghai's technological progress to the public. The emergence of the cofe+ coffee robot reduces unnecessary contact for coffee consumers while providing significant assistance in pandemic prevention.

Evolution of Coffee Robot Technology

The cofe+ coffee robot first appeared in 2018. Over the past few years, the cofe+ team has been dedicated to the research and development of coffee robots. From the first COFE 1.0 version launched at the end of 2018, to version 2.0 in July 2019, version 3.0 in November 2019, and then version 4.0 in June 2020. The functions of the cofe+ coffee robot have continuously increased, supporting multi-flavor customization, including coffee temperature, sugar and no-sugar options.

COFE+ founder Han Feizi stated that this robot combines artificial intelligence technology with the Internet of Things, consumes low power (only 1.5 kWh per hour), and can continuously produce approximately 300 16-ounce drinks with a single ingredient addition. Furthermore, the COFE+ robot coffee kiosk occupies less than 2.5 square meters. Compared to traditional physical coffee shops, it eliminates rent costs, resolves the instability brought by human labor, and makes the quality of coffee production controllable, ensuring every cup of coffee maintains consistent quality.

The cofe+ coffee robot appeared at the third China International Import Expo in 2020. Bai Tinghui, Secretary and Director of the Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, experienced the entire process of coffee making by the cofe+ coffee robot. Secretary Bai Tinghui stated that the cofe+ coffee robot demonstrates Shanghai's continuous technological progress. He is also very optimistic about COFE+'s market prospects and expects the relevant team to continue their efforts.
