The coffee aficionados will bemoan the automation, and the know-nothings will just think it's crap compared to Pret or Starbucks (because it's the hot milk foaming they care about and machines do this badly or rely on the skill of the user), and it will just lead to high maintenance costs down the road.
Shame, as it probably is the best... but high cost, high maintenance, and low appreciation means it's probably the worst choice.
