Powered through an app via The Metreon, the Cafe X arms prepare your coffee down to the T and at a much cheaper price, we might add. You can expect to find the tall grinders are full of fresh beans from local coffee roasters Verve, AKA and Peet’s, and no pods or powdered milk are used. Cafe X can produce roughly 120 cups an hour and will soon have the option to give customers an “order ahead” button. Though with what Hu is saying, it sounds like a bitter end to baristas behind the counter forever getting your name wrong. But hey, who doesn’t love technology? We’re not sure how long Cafe X will be around but you should definitely go check it out this week. // Metreon, 135 4th St #3000
