It’s 9 in the morning. You’re a barista. You’re f-ing tired because that one drink from last night ended up in a banger of an evening and now, here you are: A queue of 35 people seem to shout their coffee order at your face. All the while you’re still getting to terms with the 3 dimensional world in front of you.

 

One cappuccino with oat milk, please. 2 flat whites one regular, one with low-fat soy and a cortado, but can you make it with pea milk instead? Why is this line moving so slowly? How come there is only one vegan milk? I hope they make it foamy.

Designing the perfect assistant for baristas in modern milk times. Even those who had one too many espresso-martinis the night before.

The perfect assistant for barista’s in modern milk times. Even those who had one too many espresso-martinis the night before.

 

Research shows that perfectly delicious milk foam is a problem for modern-day baristas who have to battle the expanding market of vegan milks. We sat together with a latte art world champion and our friends at ACID to clone the brains of this barista and put into a machine: aēralab is the first smart milk lab in the world that auto-recognises any type of milk and foams it into delicious, world-champ quality milk foam. Simply, automatically.
