Food technology company Ripples has launched the Ripple Maker II Pro, a hardware device that prints a series of images on top of a beverage, all in natural plant colors.
FoodBev Meeted with the Ripples team on this year’s Drinktec and saw Winnie the Pooh’s printed images on our coffee!
This unique technology is designed to help businesses and brands enhance consumers' beverage experience. “Gen Y and even Gen Z keep the food and beverage business growing by increasing expectations for innovation, personalization and sustainability. Ripple Maker II Pro was created to take these audiences into account. We want to enhance their dining experience and give them compelling reasons to share their moments on social media.”
Meanwhile, the company’s patent-pending Chameleon Plus pods are made with flavorless cabbage extract that can be adjusted to the pH of the beverage to print out a range of shades based on blue and red to enhance the flavor of the cocktail.
The new beverage top spray printer features a range of efficiency upgrades that ensure fast operational workflow. Double pods print two colors onto a single drink, and the new automatic sensor recognizes cup sizes to adjust the image size , keeping the print centered without manual intervention.
