JD.com unmanned robot cafe launch in Beijing

Overview

JD.com has launched Seven Fresh Coffee, a 24-hour unmanned robot cafe located in Beijing’s Galaxy SOHO district. The facility utilizes artificial intelligence and robotics to automate the entire coffee-making process, including grinding beans, extracting espresso, and filling cups.

During its operations, the automated system achieved a Guinness World Record for coffee production speed. While one report noted the system produced 202 cups in a single hour, another report during an opening demonstration cited a record of 20 cups in one hour. The technology allows for drink preparation in approximately 20 to 30 seconds, with customers managing orders and customization through the JD app or in-store kiosks.

Although presented as a fully intelligent establishment, observations indicate that human personnel may still be necessary for maintenance tasks such as managing operational interruptions or battery replacement.
