TopBrewer Coffee Faucet Controlled By An iPhone

Danish company Scanomat has introduced the TopBrewer, an iPhone-controlled coffee faucet. The tap is part of an advanced brewing system that can be built into any tabletop.

The company has patented the world's smallest milk foamer which heats milk on-demand and foams it to the correct texture. The brewer cleans itself after each cup, and can dispense drinking water, cold or hot milk, steam, or a wide variety of coffee drinks; all of which can be ordered up from an iOS app or a touch-screen panel built into the tabletop.

Envision being able to control your coffee machine with a device you already have in your pocket. With TopBrewer this is made possible with our smartphone application for your iPhone.

Quickly connect to the machine and select from the available drinks – or have your own favorite coffee pre-programmed and dispense it just the way YOU like it.

The app gives you full control of the machine and displays status messages when woken up from standby till it’s ready to brew.

Have complete control of your TopBrewer and experience a new sensation when selecting your coffee. You can even explore our model lineup and order more coffee when you run out.


Scanomat has not released pricing or availability information, but the TopBrewer appears to be aimed at offices and high-end luxury homes.

The deviceis awesome but the iPhone bit is pointless! You have to go place your cup so why start the coffee on the phone instead of using the touchpad?!

Not really. Put a cup on the machine before you go to bed. When you wake up, grab your iPhone, use the app to start brewing, and by the time you get to the kitchen there's a fresh coffee waiting for you :-)

I think people are missing that this is made for commercial coffee houses. One of the marketing lines is that it lets baristas spend more time talking to customers. In that context, the barista gets the order, enters it on their ipad, talks to the customer (or gets the pastry whatever) until the coffee is ready, grabs the coffee and replaces the cup with a clean one for the next order, and gives the coffee to the customer. That's actually pretty sweet. While I doubt this will replace the starbucks barista, it might work really well for bars, restaurants, or boutique coffee shops.


It probably makes better coffee than starbucks to be fair.

It would be fun for somebody to produce a virus for this app so that it would make all sorts of terrible drinks. Anyway, finally an excuse to buy a high-end house...

This gives new meaning to the phrase "that's great, but does it make coffee?"
