Robojoe - Cute, Caffeinated and CoffeeMeister-Approved
It's practically impossible for me to decide what I like best about this video: The fact that it features both cloth coffee filters (sustainable!) and a hand coffee grinder (retro!), that the robot appears to let the coffee bloom before starting the proper brew, our little friend's deadpan expression, or the two-second outtake where the poor gal pours coffee all over the counter before a set of friendly human hands sets it right.
Actually, this little automated lady looks like she seriously knows what she's doing -- storing coffee in an air-tight container, grinding fresh, making coffee to order... She's a barista-bot after my own heart -- even if she's more likely to rust than over-caffeinate.

Hmmm.... Here they skewered NASA in the 1980s over (false) rumors of $10,000 toilet seats -- when here Japan is spending billions of yen and their best scientific minds on recreating a Mr. Coffee machine.
I rest my case on government waste!
