Home kitchen appliance maker Cosori is diving into specialty coffee with its first automatic coffee brewer, the Juni, which offers advanced controls and connectivity for sharing and downloading brew profiles.
Revealed at the recent World of Coffee San Diego trade show, the machine is slated for a $299 MSRP, while preorders just launched for $199. (Read all of DCN’s WOC San Diego coverage.)
Though primarily intended for home use, Cosori also sees the brewer fitting into light-duty cafe settings such as slow bars or display stations, where operators can program and share brew profiles for the coffees they sell.
“We’ve actually received a lot of great feedback from roasters saying that their customers will say, ‘hey, it doesn’t taste the same at home as it does in the cafe,'” Cosori Project Manager Alysa Hu told Daily Coffee News. “They think that this is really going to solve the problem of that inconsistency.”
In addition to brew ratio, water temperature, bloom time and number of pours, the Juni app lets users dictate the pour pattern and flow rate of up to 10 pours into either a conical filter holder for single-cup or 2-cup brews or a basket-shaped filter for larger batches. Both are included with the machine.
The machine rotates the filter holder while its spout moves laterally to perform any combination of spiral, circular and straight pours.
“A lot of people have expressed interest in facing it outwards towards the customer, because it’s kind of a show. It’s like an open theater where you’re actually seeing everything happening,” Hu told DCN. “They think that it’s fun to watch.”
The brew bed sits close to the spout to maintain a laminar stream of water, improving temperature stability and control over turbulence. Intentional agitation comes from an oscillation feature that gently rattles the filter holder for settling or agitation. Users can control the duration and intensity both before and during brewing.
An NTC thermistor-controlled 1,500-watt pass-through heater reaches and maintains user-set water temperatures between 176°F and 205°F. The machine will ship with a Golden Cup preset, while users can store up to three more “favorite” profiles for brewing from the illuminated control panel. Along with downloadable profiles, the app will also guide novices through each variable.
Cosori parent company VeSync is an international smart-home and appliance company with operations in the United States and China. VeSync launched the Etekcity brand in 2012, then Cosori and Levoit in 2016, offering a range of home products all tied together through the VeSync app.
The Juni enters a smart-home coffee field where machines such as the Fellow Aiden and xBloom have helped expand the audience for cloud-linked drip brewers with advanced programmability.
Cosori, a sponsor of the 2026 World Cup Tasters Championship at World of Coffee Bangkok earlier this month, also sees the Juni as a tool for professionals building a library of brew profiles.
A direct plumbing connection is planned for an eventual “V2” machine based on feedback gathered at trade shows.
“We’re actually designing this with cafes and roasters in mind,” Hu said. “We are partnering with roasters all over the country so they can set up their recipes within our app.”
Juni sales are expected to run through Cosori’s website, Amazon and other third-party retailers, while a wholesale distribution program is also in the works. The brand plans to show off the system at the World of Coffee Brussels trade show next month, followed by Coffee Fest trade shows in Los Angeles and New York.
