Don't you hate it
when you have push the button of your espresso machine, and you have to wait several boring seconds until your cup is filled?
That is all over now! Introducing the
ESPRESSO MASTER EXPANSION SET (delux)
Controle Panel A is located far away from the Espresso Machine F. After inputting the data in the computer panel, you can walk to the Espresso Machine. The espresso will be ready by the time you get there.
THIS IS HOW IT WORKS:
A: Use Control Panel A to input desired type of espresso
B: Machine cluster B will process the information, before sending it to the main processing unit C.
C: Unit C will translate the encrypted data from machine cluster B and active Robotic Arm D.
D: The robot arm will move pushing mechanism E into position.
E: Pushing mechanism E will push the right type of espresso button
F: Espresso Machine F will make the desired type of espresso G.
G Espresso G will be ready by the time you have reached the Espresso Machine F.
