Costa Coffee is set to revolutionize the coffee experience with its new autonomous kiosk, Costa Coffee Creations, launching this August at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas.
The Costa Coffee Creations kiosk is a cutting-edge, 24 square-foot robotic system designed to deliver barista-quality espresso drinks without any human assistance. This innovative technology can serve both hot and cold beverages using 100% freshly ground whole beans, milk, and alternative milk options.
With 22 million passengers passing through the airport in 2023, the demand for convenient and high-quality coffee options at Austin Airport is evident. The introduction of Costa Coffee Creations follows the success of Costa’s current coffee robot, which has already outperformed other offerings by generating double the revenue per square foot.
Nick Rex, senior director at Costa Coffee, emphasized the significance of this launch, stating: “Amid persistent labour shortages and growing consumer demand for convenience and personalization, Costa Coffee Creations emerges as the perfect solution. With the ability to concoct an infinite array of coffee options in minutes and facilitating seamless mobile ordering, all without the need for human intervention, the machine embodies a win-win scenario for operators and guests alike.”
