Our sense of taste, our general sense of perception is not a closed system like a machine. Things as trivial as the amount of light in the room, or having friends nearby, or smells in the room can affect our sense of taste. The robot's a neat idea, but I have my doubts that the scientists/engineers that developed this machine understand sense of taste. Nonetheless, if it can cheaply and quickly grade quality, and drive down costs, I welcome my new coffee-tasting robot masters. I agree.
