Unaddressed gap
There are plenty of drink and sugar syrup dispensers and no cooked pearl dispensers available in the market.
Most bubble tea stores only automate the sugar syrup dispensing process, choosing to manually add tea and boba to the cups. Moreover, aside from the rare sight of a fully automated bubble tea vending machine, there are no fully integrated yet small and compact fully-automated bubble tea dispensers.

Our Vision
Project Milk&Tea aims to build a small-scale, fully automated bubble-tea dispenser. The user is only required to place a cup at a designated position, select the desired bubble tea option and pass the cup to the customer after the machine is done dispensing. It will be the first of its kind to exist out in the market – a milk tea and pearl dispenser fit into one compact machine.
