    Seriously CNBC? That's just a box with two commercially available coffee machines in the back and a simple robot arm that picks up an empty cup, puts it under the after market coffee maker, and hand it to the customer. The "robot" does not make coffee at all. The after market coffee machines make the coffee. The arm just places an empty paper cut under the coffee maker and then hands it to the customer. Vending machines have been doing that for decades, with a far simpler mechanism. This "innovation" actually slows down the process.
