New Restaurant Robot
CHICAGO, ILL. — Simple enough for a child to operate, a new
mechanical brewer creates an endless fountain of coffee by utilizing
the pressure of regular water mains. Electronics engineers of the
Cory corporation have come to the aid of restaurant and cafeteria
waiters and waitresses with the coffee “robot.” Half gallons of con
sistently full-flavored coffee are brewed in less than three minutes by
a flick of the switch. Serving decanters are automatically filled, and
the coffee maintained at correct serving temperature as long as desired
without the help of human hands.
