Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Beverage machines get weird and high-tech — CES 2016”.
Hi everyone – this is Jamison Cox, I’m here with the verge at CES 2016 unveiled and I’m not sure if you’ve noticed is my first CES pretty nervous, pretty overwhelming. Thankfully, my bosses have allowed me to drink. So that’s what we’re gon na do. So this is the Pico brew, and this is essentially a Keurig unit for making beer in your house.
It can brew a mini tank, five liters in about two hours, so pull it out here. You’Ve got this mixture, you’ve got grains in here and then you’ve got hops in here. I smelled them earlier. They smelled like hops, they’re strong and then what will happen? Is you put those in there? You fill this with water and you engage it using this dial here. You can tinker with the settings if it’s against the exact taste that you want.
As you can see here, I’m trying I’m setting the desired bitterness. You can also that how hoppy you want the beer to be out full. You want the body to be so you’re able to tweak the taste right up until the minute that you’re actually brewing it. So this is the soma bar. This is an electronic bartending unit. On the side here, we’ve got three 750 milliliter chambers on each side that holds the ingredients for each drink and then what you do is using an app you select from a set of over 300 hard-coded recipes, and then you can also upload your own. So when you select a recipe like spirit selected, the moderates, you see the ingredients here and then, if I tap here, it would make the drink good. It is good, I don’t know what else to say.
I’M just enjoying a lovely beverage on the CES show Florence. It’S divine, so this is the divine and this machine. What it does is it optimizes tasting conditions if you’re drinking wine at home, you want to experience a wine the way it’s meant to be drank, you can pop it in this machine, and the way it works is that there is an RFID chip in this vial. Full of wine – and you you put it in the machine upside down like so and it’ll, read the chip and spit out the dry conditions for you, for example, this red leaf and then after a minute or so it’ll pour the wine at the right temperature.
It’Ll. Be hair ated and then you can drink it and it’ll taste the way it’s supposed to taste. So that was the divine, and I want to make clear this isn’t a machine that turns water into wine or anything. It’S just spitting it out at the right temperature, and you know it was cool to try, but none of these machines that I tested today, I don’t think I’d use on a regular basis. They were just fun to use once, but that’s not bad for CES right, and I mean this was my first CES I got to drink all afternoon, there’s a nothing wrong with that.
I’M doing all right! .
