Cana, a beverage-focused technology company, has come up with a device, which it boasts is the world’s first “molecular beverage printer.” It can mix and dispense numerous kinds of beverages, ranging from fruit juices to cocktails, with just a touch of a button. The device, Cana One, can be placed on a kitchen countertop and dismiss the need for packaged drinks. Here’s what it is all about.
Cana One uses a single cartridge of flavorings to create over 10,000 customized beverages such as sports drinks, coffee, tea, wine, cocktails, and more. Users can choose the levels of alcohol, caffeine, and sugar to make the perfect drink for themselves. Cana says that the drinks are made with 90% of water with only 10% of flavorings, sugar, and alcohol. It is also revealed that the alcohol and caffeine levels can be put behind a PIN to avoid overuse.
It is revealed that a team of scientists and researchers developed the technology powering the Cana One device for three years. They say that the researchers isolated the trace compounds behind flavor and aroma to create a set of ingredients that is able to deliver a variety of drinks using the same machine.
The company also says that the Cana One beverage dispenser uses a unique “microfluidic liquid dispense technology” to mix the ordered beverages. Moreover, the device, as per Cana, could drastically reduce the waste and emissions from bottled or canned drinks in the market and can even be more cost-effective.
