Yesterday, we told you about Innovation Lab’s Intelligent Fridge with RFID Reader and now it’s time for another intelligent appliance for kitchens of the future! A company called JL Hufford Coffee and Tea, known as the Internet’s largest retailer of super-automatic espresso coffee centers is reportedly working on highly Intelligent Coffee Machines that can read your mind and brew-up just the type of coffee you need at that moment of time!
The super automatic coffee machine will use artificial intelligence to churn-up a delicious cup of coffee based on their owner’s thoughts. The machine works by learning the drinking patterns for the first several weeks and then it adapts itself to the drinking preference of its user. So, it knows when you are in mood for strongly brewed espresso, creamy decaf cafe au lait, French vanilla cappuccino or any other taste. Now, if you are wondering how does it knows when you are yearning for which type of coffee throughout the day...then you will have to learn to cope-up with the curiosity as the company is tight-lipped about this aspect, as it is the crux of his invention. But he hints at GPS tracking or existing RFID technology.
The machine will also be connected to the Internet, and you’ll be able to get your brew started with a simple phone call. Though, the speed dial feature on cellular phones is pretty much in the theoretical phase, the company believes that the technology enabling an appliance to learn and react to its user’s preferences, so-called “ubiquitous computing”, is already both available and affordable and so the technology will make it in the near future.
