Once Alike, a robotic barista, is offering free coffee from 7AM-10AM all this week. They appear to be in testing and are still working out a few glitches. Impressive videos.
Just go through their website to order or order in-store.

Used to love Lost in Space, that and Land of the Giants.
Used to love Lost in Space
Except for the episodes with 'Athena'.

Ba dum tss.
Robotic Exotic…. Balls n All Just Give Us A Call
So it's other role is a creamer?
my future wifebot…
Wait… aren't the coffee makers at the local Starbucks robots themselves??
I mean, they look so lifeless….
You're the freebies king, Neil.
I really think you deserve your own segment on A Current Affair.
A Current Affair with Tracy and Neil.
You know, Kath Armstrong from Cheapskates Australia is always on ACA and I remember last year after years of her saying she washes her laundry using only $4 of washing powder a year her credibility dropped instantly as ACA tests revealed that across ALL washing powders/liquids, hers performed the worst…actually worse than washing in water alone.
I vote Neil to replace Kath Armstrong.
Neil Armstrong?
I hope they aren't married or else I have called out his wife with her crumby washing powder.
I vote Neil to replace Kath Armstrong.
You want to wash your clothes in coffee ?
Apparently that rates a better clean than Kath's washing powder.
Looks awesome, how does the milk come out? Latte heart..?
how does the milk come out?
That's an udder story…
Just like Ash's head in alien.
This looks like George Calombaris' new project.
How much does he pay the robots?
Assaulted nut each day
you mean his project to find new ways to underpay staff, lol…
Oh George you big scammer… Off-topic, but George eats like a big pig
Anyone know the brand of robot?
Xiaomi MiCaffeine.
MiKaFeng
Looks like an Epson C series maybe? C4 even has the red button on top.
This time I'm glad Neil put the location last otherwise I wouldn't read till end to find out it is a robot taking jobs away. At first I thought it was in my state too, but all is good. We are safe :)
For now.
There isn't much technically different in boiling hot water or humans. We should be safe as long as the robots arnt programmed to take custom orders from the internet.
Or they be made to think for themselves, 1 self replicating robot.
Robots that make coffee… isnt that what a vending machine is?
pretty much - but just think of the more expensive flavour a robot with an arm will make. Also applies to human baristas.

Not really, it's a lot harder having sex with a vending machine.
How long i gonna wait for 1 coffee?
Might be about 1/4 of a Ghurry, give or take a minute
I'll miss my contaminated coffees!
that makes me sad
Oh wow no doubt the future of customer service. Just need to stick a smiling face on it and have it say "enjoy your day" and 50% of the population will be out of a job.
I went here this morning. Great coffee and really interesting, however be prepared to wait as it is slow while they are still tweaking the software (which is why its closed after 10am) and people were coming in and placing orders then leaving before they were done leaving a backlog of coffees :/
Only breakdown in society is the intellectual misnomer that making coffee is an art.
Not saying the coffee bot will get my order wrong, but I'd really miss telling him he's gotten my order wrong.
Robots have been serving me at retail for years.
