#1189: Autolatte

Today’s invention is a robotic device which can tilt a cup of freshly-poured latte and, using a dipper, draw shapes in the microbubble milk foam on the top.

This would be a programmable device capable of producing designs chosen by customers from a jukebox like menu.

It would also be able to write short printed messages in the foam, as typed into a keypad by the barrista.
