A smartphone that makes coffee? It is not a joke anymore.
Soon, if you have no time to stop at a cafeteria and you fancy a coffee on the bus going to work, you may be able to rely on an item that you always have by your side: your mobile phone.
It’s called Mokase, designed by Italian engineers and developers: a smartphone case that contains a cartridge full of liquid coffee, which will get heated by your mobile battery, initiating the whole process through an app.
If Mokase tickles your fancy, you can pre-order the smartphone case and the coffee wafers here. It works with the iPhone 6, 6S, 7, and 7 Plus as well as a range of Samsung and Huawei phones. As of right now, the estimated shipping date is September 1st, 2017, and you can get it, black or white, for about $54.26, leaving a deposit of 50% now: they would contact you later for payment of the balance and shipping.
