When it comes to coffee, one cup does not fit all. The Auroma One, a smart coffee machine from Auroma Brewing Co., aims to erase the bitter taste that mass-produced coffee leaves in your mouth. Featuring the ability to precisely control several parameters, including coffee-to-water ratio, time of brew, water temperature and total dissolved solids, the Auroma One is the world’s first coffee science machine. It even promises to brew “the perfect cup of coffee.”
Using the smart coffee machine's companion app, you can rate features such as bitterness, texture, strength and caffeine kick after each individual cup of coffee. The machine will remember these ratings, and utilize them in a closed loop to deliver a cup of coffee that is tailored to individualized preferences.
Another fun feature is the “tasting flight.” In one machine, you can brew three different types of coffee, or one type of coffee brewed three different ways, and try them consecutively to discover your favorites.
