Coffee machines and drink dispensers are already a thing, though?
My grandma used to go to people's houses in the morning and brew pour-over coffee for them and put it in an old school Thermos. Mr. Coffee killed her job and she killed herself the following year.
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.
