Those who often drink Latte or Cappuccino are often very familiar with creating hearts or leaves on milk foam, and it is likely that in the near future you can put your whole face on a cup of coffee with Ripple Maker.
This is a machine invented by an Israeli startup, Steam CC, and they are expected to be commercially available this year. Going back to Ripple Maker, this is a smart machine that can create any shape according to the user's wishes on the layer of milk foam on the coffee cup.
Of course, in order to do so, the Ripple Maker must have a built-in Wi-Fi connection, allowing it to retrieve data and then produce the corresponding image. Users have many ways to request Ripple Maker to print their desired image from their smartphone: the first is to upload the image directly (hand-drawn, self-made, personal image) to Ripple Maker's own website, the second is to install put the application on iOS/Android and upload it right inside, the third is to create the images available according to each topic that Ripples suggests, the fourth is to quickly access the images available from the LCD screen on Ripple Maker.
It is known that Ripple Maker uses printing technology invented by Steam CC itself. Inside each Ripple Maker will be available Ripple Pods - an ingredient made from high quality Robusta and Arabica coffee beans. The principle of operation will be like this: you put a cup of coffee, cappuccino or latte into the tray, Ripple Maker will extract a very small part of the coffee from the Ripple Pods inside to shape. According to Steam CC, this amount of shaped coffee is non-toxic, has no odor, and does not change the taste of the drink.
Each Ripple Pods has enough coffee to make more than 1,000 pictures. How about all the examples? You can rest assured because Steam CC's customer service will keep a close eye on each Ripple Maker, when the Ripple Pods inside are almost out of coffee, they will send someone to deliver. Of course we have to pay extra.
Ripple Maker will start at $1,299, excluding shipping. The service plan to use Ripple Maker will cost from $ 85 per month, this service package will include: provision of Ripple Pods, maintenance, and access to Ripples photo and content.
