Has your craving for a coffee ever been frustrated by a lengthy queue at the
dispensing machine? Fuji Electric of Kanagawa may be able to help (WO 97/38937).
Its machine allows a succession of people to use the keyboard before the
dispenser has made a single drink. The machine automatically delivers the drinks
in the correct order. You won’t actually get your coffee any quicker, but you’ll
be able to relieve your frustration by getting your order in. The patented valve
and timer stops the machine going berserk and trying to fulfil several different
orders at the same time.
