During the first phase of the 139th Canton Fair, a robotic-arm coffee machine stole the spotlight — catching the eyes of many foreign visitors. The machine, along with the beans it brewed, came from GLEEEE Coffee, a Guangzhou-based roaster. Today, its factory boasts an annual capacity of 3,000 tons, making it the largest in Guangdong. And now, GLEEEE has its sights set on powering up cafés across China — and eventually, the world.
Meet its founder Ah Man to find out how he brewed success, one bean at a time.
