Briggo

In a rush? This coffee is for you! It’s a lot faster than waiting in the line at Starbucks in the Union. The quality is good but it’s no craft coffee. I was impressed!

Great coffee, super convenient, and great location. Not sure what else you would want. I have had their Mocha, Iced Latte, and Coffee (no sugar, no milk). I would much rather come here for a cup than go to Starbucks. The only other place close to campus that has high quality coffee is café medici, but is quite a bit more expensive. Check it out, and if you happen to receive something that isn’t quite what you expected, talk to one of the employees there.
They are great, and EXTREMELY open to any type of feedback that you have for them.

Man, I wanted to like the robot coffee… It’s amazingly perfect for weirdos and the socially-​inept like myself, who have days when even minor interactions with humans seem like too much energy.
Briggo’s robotic java creations are cheaper than Starbucks. Plus you can order a drink, go sit for a while at your chair of choice at FAC, set up and come back in like 5 minutes to pick your drink up. It’s a really good concept if you ask me.
Sadly, the execution seems a bit poor. The coffee’s good but if you try to get an espresso drink, the machine doesn’t always stir it, nor are there stir thingies anywhere in sight. So at points your latte is all milk and at points it is bitter espresso. All the sugar is at the bottom of the cup.
I hope they improve on this so I can continue to avoid human contact on campus. I still believe in you, Briggo… maybe we’ll meet again.

Nice idea, but I thought the coffee was weak (Americano), you gotta work on that if you want me back!

I’m really rooting for Briggo to do well. It’s an excellent marriage of stuff [white] people like: coffee (or the idea of coffee) and customization.
I visited the monstrosity in the FAC a couple of days ago to find they were running software tests, so they gave me a cup of joe for free. It was black coffee and it was delicious! I’m very sorry that this machine doesn’t manufacture the perfect frou frou coffee drinks to everyone’s specifications yet, but once they master that task, I think they will be wildly successful.

Coffee is good, apparently the new machine picks fresh beans, roasts them, and grinds them for every cup. I waited 17 minutes for an iced coffee. How does that make sense?
They also staff it with at least two people at all times. It’s a machine with giant pictures as buttons. Maybe swing by whenever the bean plants need to be watered.

Had to wait 30 minutes to get a hot drink, and when I got it this was cold.
Moreover, with no soy or almond drink, this is not the place for milk intolerant people.

Love my robot coffee! On campus at UT, it’s been completely revamped in the past month, and the new Briggo is now open. You can place your order online or at the machine, then you can actually watch it being made. When it’s ready, you type in your confirmation number, the robot puts in on a turn-​table and presents it to you.
The coffee is great and organic. The iced coffee is better now than before. I love the new design and cups. The sugar-​free vanilla syrup and new milk offerings were great upgrades from the old machine. There is still staff there to help you with placing your order and to answer any questions, and they are all really great. We love talking to them.
Only downsides: it’s a little slow right now, since it’s a new system, and there’s no decaf. Some days I want some tasty robot coffee, but I’m already thoroughly caffeinated. Other than that, you can get pretty much anything you want. Lattes, Chai, coffee (iced or hot), mocha, cappuccino, etc.
If you’re ever on campus, or even on the Drag or at the Co-​Op, then hop across the street to the FAC and visit the robot.

I LOVE this place. They just upgraded and it’s now fully automatic. It opens up officially next week, but I was able to try it out today and it is amazing. It now gives you a code when you order and to pick up your drink, you type in your code, and a door twirls around to give you your drink. The people that work for Briggo are awesome. They are so smiley and helpful. It’s not a perfect process and there are hiccups, but that’s to be expected with a startup and I’m MORE than happy to support any small business or startup! You go Briggo!

You go Briggo. We all know our long national nightmare continues daily at coffee shops around the country. It’s 7:00 AM. You’re getting a coffee for a reason. You need the coffee to keep yourself from verbally threatening half of the people in Austin. The last thing you need is awkward conversation with a barista. Briggo’s cold robotic heart brews that coffee with so much cold robot love.
Briggo is large and takes up a pretty giant chunk of the FAC on campus. My only question. is there a person behind the box making our coffee. Don’t betray my trust Briggo. Hopefully it’s not like Wizard of Oz.
Oh last thing, Briggo — Your website doesn’t work in Google Chrome. COME ON.
The coffee is decent. I just like being able to grab it on the way to a meeting at the FAC. It’s fast.

Coffee made by a robot. It’s good coffee too. Psychology grads might get pushed out of the barista market by this thing in the near future as there is very little human interaction. I’m not going to lie, I kind of like the idea of not having to hold some forced small-​talk conversation at a register. Just swipe my card and the machine already guesses at what my favorite drink is. I can even pre-​order a drink from my phone and have it ready to pick up when I arrive. I’ll be even more excited when Briggo arrives at Austin’s airport. That way I can get coffee without feeling like the old guy on the UT campus.

This visit made me extremely sad…
I decided to order their new lemonade tea online (the online ordering system is still awesome), and it was ready within a minute of me ordering it.
However, the lemonade tea was warm when I received it, despite there being «7 oz» of ice! For the first ¾ of the drink, all I could taste was warm semi-​sweet tea or lemonade concentrate. Only after all the ice melted did it taste any good, and that was just barely.
I’m still in love with the concept of a robot coffee maker, but this last visit did not please me very much. I still have two more free coffee coupons, so that’s how many more tries they get.

Okay, I don’t understand the 4-​star rating for this place. Granted, I’ve only gotten coffee from this machine once, but it never gave me a reason to go back.
The concept is great, but the coffee was not. Coffee was watery, syrup was overly sweet and artificial tasting, and everything just tasted off.
If you register online for a Briggo account, they’ll give you your first cup free. There are usually nice attendants there to help you. I guess that’s a plus?

The the Terminator movie and all its futuristic components came into fruition in our lifetime, Briggo would be one of those little pass-​by scenes where a couple of the individuals working on robot-​killing strategy would seek to grab a cup o’ joe, so as to have the capability to stay up all night.
Apparently, UT has a hodgepodge of resources that students (me included, formerly) fail to utilize. Briggo is the newest little guy in this category. He is a fully automatic coffee barista… in a machine… in a centralized location where students pass by. Oh, and you order online. Wow.
You can customize your order, though not fully, yet. You adjust creamer/​milk according to color. As a side note, you can also do soy or whatever. Unfortunately, they are working on how to keep the creamer and the other additions hot, so as to not chill your coffee too much. Don’t you love when you take your first sip, and it just literally burns your mouth?
Worst thing? They can’t do art! I feel like engineers would be able to program some algorithm to where the machine could draw. I mean it is just a mechanical arm, no? Give it a shot, even if you are a stickler about requiring a pretty design in your latte or whatever.

Love love love Briggo. The first time I went there was a friendly attendant who would help you out if you had any questions. I decided to try a Mocha and someone with the company was actually there and wanted to know what I thought of the mocha (as they had changed to a different syrup). The location of Briggo is perfect as I can order a coffee on my phone (super handy) and pick it up on the way to my next class.

Quick, efficient, and cheaper than any local coffee shop. It is centrally located on campus and is especially great for people on their way to class from West Campus. I’m definitely coming back!

Awesome concept… Impressive execution

Love it. This is the most delicious coffee I’ve had in a very long time. Always made exactly the same as before. This has become my reliable consistant source of perfect coffee every morning.

When I first realized what the large machine in the FAC was, I was completely taken aback. I had never encountered a robotic coffee machine like this before and I didn’t really frequent the FAC until as of late so this was a very nice surprise for me. Although the Briggo machine looked like a futuristic box filled with magical goodies and fairies, I was skeptical of the quality of coffee and just the whole concept of it. However, the lovely Briggo people greeted me the first time I went up to the machine and talked me through the process as well as their concept. I tried out the brewed coffee first with 4 packets of sugar (yes, I like my coffee sweet) and a little bit of milk. I stood in awe in front of the machine as I heard of soft hum of the machine working happily away behind the monitors and large wall separating from this futuristic barista. 1 minute and 30 seconds later, I got my brewed coffee. I was genuinely surprised by how much I liked the taste of the coffee and boy is it STRONG. It kept me up for quite some time and I felt like the effects from the coffee were 5X stronger than the usual cup of Joe from elsewhere. I then proceeded to visit this machine often as I studied for finals and tried out the latte along with getting repeat cups of the brewed coffee. The latte is not half bad either. It is also just a strong as the brewed coffee so cheers to over-​caffeinated college students.
Briggo doesn’t necessarily serve the cheapest coffee nor the most expensive coffee on campus. I wish their «buy one get a brewed coffee later» promotion would last well after finals since I am a caffeine addict and it made coffee just that more affordable. However, the quality of the coffee is really good and I am pleased that Briggo’s organic coffee can actually keep me awake.
Briggo also has some random giveaways via Twitter and Facebook for their awesome t-​shirts. I am a lucky recipient of one and oh these are some nice, comfy shirts and what college student doesn’t love a free shirt?
Briggo, I shall be frequenting you again next semester. Until then, adieu.

Fresh organic coffee roasted perfectly to extract all the flavor out of the bean itself. I can actually taste the flavors and the milk is steamed together with all natural syrups to complete a frothy cup of excellence.
The products are cheaper than Starbucks and actually tastes better.
Did I mention that this is all served from a coffee robot? Or that you can order a cup via smartphone or web?
GENIUS!!!
