just today i was fantasizing about a self-driving autonomous office coffee machine. basically a roomba that brews coffee. perfect for hardcore introverts.

Add a speaker and media player, and you could have DJ Barista!

I always said the hallmark of a great tool is something that can do 50 things in a shitty way. "ALEXA. ALEXA. SIRI! OKAY GOOGLE? Come here self-driving roomba. Play NPR podcasts and brew me a tepid cup of brown Keurig water while engaging me in a rousing game of Go"

"Ok. Now deleting your appointments for this week."

You forgot sex/porn. It has to satisfy all our needs.

Just what I don't need -- being forced to interact with a DJ to get my coffee.

"What do you want?"

"Coffee."

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU! I SAID WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"

"Give me coffee or I will end you."

For the true introvert, I've heard that it's possible to brew your own coffee at home!

I buy instant coffee at ALDI. We have a Keurig, but the pods cost a small fortune, and I drink far too much coffee.
