Frazy, a US-based startup specializing in custom beverages, has unveiled its plans to launch the “world’s first” robotic beverage machine, FrazyBot.
With just a simple press of a button, FrazyBot has the ability to craft personalized specialty drinks right in the comfort of your home. It provides a selection of distinct drink modules, each tailored for coffee, tea, boba, cocktails, or mocktails.
As per Frazy, existing beverage machines face limitations in terms of drink options due to being “too large for countertops” and demanding “numerous ingredients.” FrazyBot, the company clarified, utilizes “Ingredient-Sensing Robotic Technology (InSeRT)” to enable cost-effective and customizable drinks.
The device comprises a foundational module featuring a touch panel and a water reservoir. Users can affix the drink module to the base, insert the ingredient box, and simply press a button to create their preferred beverages. Additionally, consumers have the option to incorporate their favorite milk or alcohol.
Frazy enables customers to place online orders for personalized drinks, providing specific details such as a red velvet latte with an additional espresso shot and oat milk, or a strawberry margarita with a touch of lavender syrup. The fresh ingredients are delivered in a compact, air-tight box.
The disposable box, accompanied by water or the preferred alcohol, is placed into the machine. With a single press of a button, the beverage is crafted, replicating the preparation process seen in a café or bar – encompassing tasks such as grinding beans, frothing milk, and incorporating artistic touches. Following the preparation, the machine automatically cleans itself, disposing of waste in the single-use box.
Frazy CEO and founder Balaji Krishnan said, “In-home devices have long promised to deliver café and bar quality in a simple way, but nothing has come close – until now. Other in-home beverage machines are unwieldy, drink-specific, usually require users to mix a lengthy list of ingredients manually to make a mess and are often hard to clean. And in the end, it may still not be exactly customised to your taste.”
He continued, “Our proprietary robotic technology disrupts the home beverage market and delivers the most authentic experience, creating users’ favourite drinks at home from fresh ingredients with a simple push of a button. FrazyBot is the first machine that prepares your favourite drink from end to end and delivers everything you want down to the smallest detail, exactly how it was ordered.”
