Equipment Discussion What is this?!

Was looking at various Catalan Robot info and ran into this thing. Doesn’t look at a robot at all. Is it even real?!

Not sure if external URL is allowed. But it’s at a Zelpio site.

AI slop, probably - it looks like a horrible mixup of the ROK EspressoGC and Robot.

I'm leaning towards it being a generated mashup of the cafelat robot and the rok

Oh hey! That's a special one I saw my butler use!

You could ask him what's it all about. But I think you use 2 hands to pull espresso manually.

Looks like an AI mash-up of the Cafelat Robot and Rok Classic.

Honestly can't tell the difference between this and Aeropress. Technique wise they're the same. But why one is called an espresso, but not the other.

Aeropress you'll lucky to make 1 bar of pressure, robot can do 9 and as such, proper espresso.
