When I reached the front, I asked, “Hey, Adam.” I paused, and eventually Adam responded, asking what I wanted. I asked for a cold brew with almond milk. (It was a brave choice at 4:30 p.m.)
Adam seemed to short-circuit at this moment, repeating back strange combinations of “cold brew,” “milk,” and numbers. An employee asked me to order again. This time, Adam got it.
He poured me a cold brew, his robot arms moving methodically to grab a cup, dump in ice, and position it under a spigot. He missed my almond milk, which I later got when an employee grabbed some from the fridge and poured it himself.
So … not great, coffee bot! But the gimmick was fun, and I appreciated the free drink.
