This Robot Barista in California Can Make 120 Coffees Per Hour — Humans Are Worried

In San Francisco, a coffee shop has replaced its front counter with a sleek robot arm that can make lattes, cappuccinos, and cold brews — with zero attitude and perfect foam.

It doesn’t need breaks. It doesn’t mess up orders. It doesn’t forget names.

For $3/hour in maintenance, it’s now serving hundreds of customers daily, while humans work the back office or get laid off entirely.

But one thing is clear: Automation isn’t coming — it’s already here. 

💬 Would you still go to a café if it had no human staff?
