At the opening of the 140th Canton Fair, which also marks the 70th anniversary of its founding, Shanghai H2Dolphin Robotics Technology brought a major debut: the world's only seventh-generation COFE+ All-Around Champion Robot Café. This Shanghai-made device, which "beats human coffee masters," became the absolute focus of this edition's intelligent service robot track thanks to its monopolistic technological advantages and full-scenario adaptability, drawing buyers and media from five continents to linger continuously. As the industry's only commercial intelligent coffee robot that has undergone eight years of continuous upgrades and iteration across seven generations, COFE+ has completely broken through the technical bottlenecks of traditional manual coffee preparation and first-generation robotic equipment. Relying on a self-developed AI intelligent algorithm system, COFE+ digitizes the professional experience of top baristas, codifies classic recipes, and parameterizes production steps, achieving full-process digital innovation and 100% precise replication of the exquisite recipes of human champion baristas. As the world's first intelligent device to successfully defeat senior human coffee masters in a human-machine competition, it has ended the industry's inherent perception that "machines are inferior to manual labor," allowing output precision, speed, and stability to comprehensively surpass manual work. In terms of product matrix, COFE+ carries the world's first recipe library of specialty beverages from 197 countries, can independently produce more than 300 beverages in 8 major categories, supports personalized customization of 5,000+ flavors, and covers the full range of categories including freshly ground coffee, hand-poured latte art, printed coffee, Japanese matcha, and hand-shaken milk tea. The device pioneers a four-milk free-production system, compatible with grain milk, nut milk, animal milk, and fruit milk, and supports fine adjustment across eight dimensions including concentration, sweetness, and temperature, truly achieving "a thousand tastes for a thousand people." At the same time, the device has the industry's exclusive capability for continuous new product launches, supports free switching between hot and cold milk foam, and integrates eight core processes including fresh grinding, AI hand-poured latte art, and 3D graphic printing. At the level of core commercial functions, COFE+ demonstrates crushing hardcore strength. The entire machine has a service life of up to 10 years, and a single unit is designed with a production capacity of more than 500,000 cups, far exceeding the industry average for similar products. The device achieves continuous stable output of 300 cups after a single refill, with near-zero error in producing a thousand cups per day, and output precision three times higher than that of humans. After seven years of technological iteration, actual testing in more than 100 complex scenarios, and cumulative real commercial verification of more than 6.5 million cups, the taste of its output is 100% comparable to world-class specialty coffee shops. At the operations and maintenance level, it achieves 72 hours of fully intelligent unmanned operation, 95% of faults can be remotely diagnosed and repaired, and O&M costs are reduced by more than 90% year on year, with daily water, electricity, network, and communication costs amounting to less than 3 RMB. As an intelligent robot built specifically for the global market, COFE+ possesses the industry's unique ultra-wide temperature range adaptability, operating stably in extreme environments from -20°C to +45°C. The brand has exclusively created a matrix of ten dedicated models, covering indoor bar versions, southern outdoor versions, plateau versions, desert versions, and more, making it the world's only commercial coffee robot adaptable to all regions, all climates, and all scenarios. The device requires no site renovation and no water supply or drainage; it can be quickly deployed and operated once powered on, truly achieving "one device, smooth operation worldwide." In terms of safety and compliance, COFE+ has successfully obtained 16 international authoritative product quality certifications, complete with official certifications across six major safety systems: electrical, food, personal, environmental, fire protection, and transportation, with compliance standards covering more than 80 countries and regions worldwide. Backed by 120 international invention patents and more than 1,200 exclusive technical know-hows, it has built an extremely high technical barrier and is the intelligent coffee device with the most complete global compliance and the most comprehensive safety guarantees. With crushing product strength and global compliance capabilities, COFE+ has achieved full coverage across five continents, deployment in 75 countries, presence in more than 200 core cities, and appearances at thousands of landmarks worldwide. From Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, Google, and Denver Airport in the United States to the Champs-Élysées in France, Puerta del Sol in Spain, and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street in China, COFE+ can be seen everywhere serving humanity. This debut at the 140th Canton Fair is an important milestone in COFE+'s globalization strategy. As Dr. Han, founder of Shanghai H2Dolphin Robotics Technology, said: "We are committed to using the AI revolution to ensure that there are no more arduous service jobs in the world, no more loss-making coffee shops, consumers enjoying Michelin-level quality at affordable prices every day, and robots diligently serving humanity." In the future, COFE+ will continue to rely on AI intelligent technology innovation, use the light-store model to restructure the global traditional real economy, and continue to deliver the transformative power of China's intelligent manufacturing.
