Ripples, the manufacturer behind the Wi-Fi enabled countertop device that prints any content on top of a variety of foam-topped drinks, recently unveiled the Ripple Maker PM, with the capability to print personalized content onto foam-topped cocktails in seconds.
The device accommodates the different heights of cocktail and beer glasses, supporting glasses that range from 4.25 to 9 inches tall. It also features a new base design to better stabilize taller glasses and prevent spillage. In addition to changes in its form factor, the Ripple Maker PM software has been optimized for beer and cocktail glasses with a print time of about 10 seconds per drink.
The counter-top sized devices also feature an easy-to-use touchscreen system and customers can even send a photo, personal image or message to either Ripple Maker through the Ripples mobile app. Along with the new Ripple Maker PM, the current Ripple Maker has been rebranded as the Ripple Maker AM and will be used for personalized images and messages on foam-topped coffee and lattes.
“We started Ripples with the idea that a drink could serve as a communication platform,” said Yossi Meshulam, CEO of RipplesTM. “Thousands of customers are enjoying Ripple Maker AM on coffee and the new beer extract announced earlier this year draws tremendous industry attention. Now we are excited to bring to the market a new device designed specifically for printing on cocktails and beer. Whether people need a morning jolt with the Ripple Maker AM or to spice up their evening with the Ripple Maker PM, our customers can serve printed coffees, beers or cocktails with personalized content that inspires, lifts up, and creates unique experiences and emotional connections with their customers.”
The Ripple Maker PM with cocktail capabilities is available now in the U.S. and Canada for $3,000 with an annual subscription fee of $1,500, which includes all consumables for up to 6,000 prints, customer service support and advice on best content practices.
