Automated cocktail maker on trial - SFO and EWR lounges

BA are trialling an automated cocktail maker in the BA SFO and EWR lounges, full report here:

and I've used their second photo in this post. The gimmick side to this is that AI is somehow involved in the App that allows users to select their drinks, but since there are 30 drink combinations in the device I'm not sure that truly advances human endeavour by a massive amount. To be fair, I guess the 30 drink combinations is due to the spirits loaded on top, and changing those spirits around could vastly increase the combination of potential drink options. It is on trial until the end of March 2020.
