Coffee machines and drink dispensers are already a thing, though?
That's what i was thinking. Bean to cup coffee machines...
I can imagine an engineer looking at a push-button bean to cup machine and thinking "how can I make this slightly less efficient and a lot more complicated".
My experience with engineers is kinda the opposite. They love simple, robust machines that they can depend on.
It's the people at the top and venture capitalists that want flashy gimmickry that they can market.
