Since its establishment in 2014, Youyi Coffee has built the industry's first on-site ice self-service coffee machine, the first robotic arm coffee machine, and the first unmanned coffee shop, aiming to build a fresh coffee service infrastructure with unattended coffee machines as the carrier, leading the industry in product experience, equipment manufacturing, and market expansion.

It is understood that the exclusive equipment models deeply involved in the cooperative research and development of Youyi Coffee have made major breakthroughs in core experiences such as the number of SKUs, ice drinks, milk foam quality, failure rate, food safety and hygiene. Its latest fourth-generation smart coffee machine exclusively uses drip extraction brewing, double coffee bean box, pipeless brewing, robotic arm aerial walking, dry and wet separation, in-cup mixing technology and other technologies, some technologies are ahead of other similar equipment for more than three years, taking the lead in achieving industry breakthroughs such as SKUs greater than 30, milk foam ratio of 1:1, failure rate of 0.025% (5% of traditional automatic coffee machines), production-pickup warehouse partition management, etc., to ensure hygienic reliability, stability, and obvious improvement of beverage taste.

In terms of coffee taste, Youyi Coffee is personally prepared by well-known coffee masters to provide a beautiful, convenient and preferential coffee experience. In addition, the on-site ice making technology exclusively introduced by Youyi has solved the problem that the sales of traditional self-service coffee machines have fallen by more than half in summer, turning the off-season into a peak season for beverage sales.

At present, the production line capacity, equipment life, category expansion and food supply chain of the coffee machine are at the leading level in the self-service coffee machine industry. The equipment is all manufactured by industrial robots, with a service life of up to 10 years, and a production line capacity of 150,000 units, which is the only equipment production line with a production capacity of more than 10,000 units in China. Youyi Coffee has carried out in-depth customized cooperation with the world's largest factory in terms of self-service equipment production (accounting for more than 80% of the world's share), which can achieve an average of one machine manufacturing every 2 minutes. In terms of scalability, Youyi also reserves snack self-service vending equipment categories in the three-temperature zone, which can realize 3-in-1 coffee machines, snack machines, and beverage machines. Youyi Coffee also establishes traceable direct procurement cooperation with top international and domestic coffee bean, dairy and dessert manufacturers to ensure the freshness, uniformity and timeliness of material replenishment.
