Well I was in a Costa myself earlier this week and I literally watched them use an espresso machine, and it wasn't just pressing a button. I can see that with my own eyes so I don't know what parallel universe you're living in.

(I can see you editing your comment out from underneath me by the way.)

What do your comments add to my actual point? I obvious know that it is not an actual vending machine at the moment... But it is in all but name.

Humans in Costa don't add any value to your cup.

They might make you feel better, though, so we'll see if people are fine with being served by a robot (as I already wrote).

But, please keep focusing on the literal.

Your original point was

> In most of those chain coffee shops what you get is a coffee vending machine with a human arm to move the cup.

What I'm adding is that anyone with eyes can go to a chain coffee shop and see that they aren't using a vending machine.
