It’s April already, and the Mumbai heat is unforgiving. While we would love to grab a fresh juice from a vendor, standing under the beating sun and the quality of water used does not sound like an exciting idea. Moreover, rushing to and fro from the office and home, especially while navigating Mumbai’s transit system during rush hour, who’s got the time? Yet, key to remaining calm and fit demands quick hydration. Usually, that means grabbing a sugar-loaded bottle from a convenience store or waiting to get home. But now, a bright orange kiosk by Juuzbot is changing the game.
Juuzbot – Japanese-style automation
We have all come across and been wowed by the Japanese-style vending machines where commuters grab fresh drinks while on the go. Who would have thought Mumbai would have the same? Moreover, it is not in Bandra or Juhu but right where the working class needs it the most! The Juuzbot operated exactly like a Japanese-style vending system. Instead of dispensing packaged sodas, it churns out fresh orange juice from a stack of Valencia oranges. Travellers passing through Marol Naka, Andheri, and Western Express Highway metro station can now grab a glass of fresh orange juice without any human interaction. All you have to interact with is a digital touch screen. A quick scan of a QR code and payment of only ₹ 109/- via UPI, and watch the magic happen
Zero Preservatives and Instant Processing
The Juuzbot machine has a simple mechanism – from a whole Valencia orange, you get a refreshing class of cold orange juice. As soon as the payment is done, you can watch the juicing process through a clear glass front. The automated machine selects the citrus, cuts, filters the seeds, and presses the juice within seconds. Then, the bright orange liquid drops into a cup, sealed with a tight lid, made to prevent any spills on a crowded train. Grab a straw from the little straw dispenser, and you’re set to go. If the world has coffee on the go, Mumbai is ready to rush with an orange juice in hand.
The best part? Juuzbot’s automated juices are delivered without any preservatives, no artificial flavouring, and zero sugar added. Moreover, with their use of Valencia oranges, you get fewer seeds and no bitterness. It is just straight fruit extract with nature’s Vitamin C on demand. Tried and tasted, it actually tastes quite refreshing! Skipping the highly processed alternative and caffeine for an on-the-spot hydrating squeeze gives Mumbai hustlers a fast and natural energy boost.
Do make sure to throw the cups and straws in the many recyclable bins around the stations.
