Artly Robot Coffee - Seattle's Robot Cafe

Artly Robot Coffee is a Seattle café built around barista bots, using AI, motion capture, and imitation learning to reproduce the steps of a trained human barista with near-consistent precision. Its stated aim is to replicate craft rather than replace it, and local coverage says the beans come from Wenbo “Joe” Yang, the reigning U.S. barista champion who also trained the robots. One signature drink is the Seattle Fog, a blend of espresso, lavender, Earl Grey, oatmilk, and herbs de Provence. The company presents the robot café as a way to scale specialty coffee without abandoning the ritual of drink-making.
