The six-foot-tall Juicebot keeps the juice refrigerated and vacuum sealed, so its temperature, pH levels, and acidity stay consistent.
The glass door slides up, and you place a paper cup (which are stacked on the side) underneath the nozzle.
The bot used to serve customers juice in glass bottles, but the team discovered it wasn't as convenient as a cup. So now the machine uses cups made from recyclable paper.
I tried the roots juice, which is made from beets, strawberries, carrots, ginger, and oranges. It was delicious and tasted like it had been pressed that morning. However, $5 was a little steep for an 8-ounce cup.
In the future, the team hopes to bring fresh juice (and the bots that dispense it) to more cities.
