If you’ve ever seen a science fiction movie, specifically on ‘Star Trek‘ or the 2016 film ‘Passengers’ starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, you’ve seen a machine where you simply type in the food or drink you want and out of seemingly nowhere your favorite lasagna or a steaming cappuccino are magically created before your eyes. There’s a reason machines like this exist in science fiction movies and that’s because the science behind them doesn’t actually hold up. How can you type in what you want and have it magically appear out of thin air? That can’t be real, right?
Well, at some point it actually might be. And, sadly, we’re not talking about a machine that can make you a greasy cheeseburger out of thin air, we’re talking about one that can make drinks. After years of work, a company called Cana Technology has secured funding to make what they’re calling a “molecular beverage printer.”
It’s not magic though and, unlike the ones you see in movies and TV, this machine actually does have science behind it. The goal is to synthesize drinks. They can do this because a vast majority of drinks are mostly water. This tabletop machine, that the folks at Cana believe everyone will eventually have on their kitchen countertop, uses flavor compound-filled cartridges that are inserted into the machine. They are added to water using what they refer to as “novel microfluidic liquid dispense technology.”
While we don’t know what that means, the simple explanation is that using this technology will make it possible to literally make any drink you can imagine with the touch of a button. Although they’ll be synthetic so don’t get your hopes up about enjoying a glass of real fresh-squeezed orange juice or a 20-year-old single malt.
