Flying on Lufthansa by year-end

Revealed last month at the CE Week tech show in New York and currently inviting interested parties to sign up to a waitlist for release details, Ripples is based around the Ripple Maker, a machine that will “print” a customised design on a foamy drink in 10 seconds using “tiny coffee bean drops” as its medium.

CoffeeThe Ripple Maker combines hardware and software that produces high-resolution designs and messages – that are “Rippled” onto lattes, cappuccinos, or any foam-topped drink.

Interested in becoming the first in SA to offer this canny service? Check out their WEBSITE.

The machine has a small footprint, sits on a counter top, and is preloaded with a library of designs in themes such as greetings, love and happiness and “coffee humour.”

Themes can be created or customised by baristas via the company’s website, and coffee shops can even make an app available to customers. The customer would then pre-order a design by sending baristas a photo, personal image or message as they order their drink.
