Miso Robotics Launches CookRight Coffee to Optimize Urn-Based Coffee Service

The platform monitors key coffee metrics such as volume, temperature and time data.

The News

• Miso Robotics today introduced its new CookRight Coffee product line, which monitors key metrics like volume and temperature of urn-based coffee service. This not only alerts staff when coffee is getting old, it advises when to start brewing a fresh batch to anticipate customers demand.

• Panera is the first restaurant chain to evaluate and test the new CookRight Coffee platform. Greater availability begins early next year.

• The addition of coffee expands the Miso’s CookRight platform, which began as a hardware-lite way to guide the cooking of meats.

The Story

Who among us hasn’t pumped the lever of a tall coffee urn, only to be dispensed old, or even worse — tepid coffee.

Miso Robotics’ new CookRight Coffee product uses a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) to eliminate this problem, ensuring better coffee quality and more optimized staff usage.

It’s a high-tech solution for a lo-fi mechanism, and considering the number restaurants, convenience stores, hotels, conference centers and airport lounges that serve coffee in urns — it could be a huge opportunity for Miso.
