Textpresso - World’s First Text-Enabled Espresso Machine 

Coffee machine which can prepare your preferred drink by text message, using a robot to guide your cup, and a printer to place an edible marker on the coffee foam to indicate who it belongs to.This can clearly be seen in the video embedded below:

From Zipwhip, a cloud text message company who are using this as a promotional item:

Textspresso. It’s a beautiful thing. In order to combine our cloud texting service with Seattle’s technology and coffee cultures, we created a machine that sends and receives text messages while simultaneously making a coffee. You heard right. We’ve got a robotic barista in the house. Did we mention there’s also a warming plate to keep your coffee warm? Once that feature was completed we decided to take things to the next level. We added an edible ink jet printer that provided a truly over the top touch. The build was completed with lots of head-scratching and weekend work. It was worth it. We’re having trouble keeping beans on hand and our engineers are working through the night.

They claim there will be no commercial production of the machine, but are considering putting the project out as open-source in the future.
