Our R&D Journey

2018 - 2019 Phase 1: Foundation

Software-Integrated Brewing Control, embedded architecture enabling precise temperature regulation and calibrated ingredient dosing.

Our R&D journey began with the development of a software-driven tea dispensing prototype built on Raspberry Pi architecture with Python-based control logic and a Django application layer. This early system integrated embedded hardware with application intelligence, enabling precise temperature regulation, ingredient dosing accuracy, and repeatable brewing consistency.

The first Classic Tea Machine prototype delivered three tea variants with programmable sugar calibration at capacities up to 150 cups per hour. This phase established our core engineering stack and validated the feasibility of scalable, automation-led beverage preparation.

2020 -2021 Phase 2: Innovation

Induction-Based Thermal Brewing System, dedicated brewing chamber replicating controlled slow-brew extraction with consistency.

With team expansion to 15 to 20 engineers, we transitioned from dispensing systems to controlled brewing platforms. The Dum Chai Brewing System introduced a dedicated brewing chamber integrated with a boiler module and induction-based thermal control, replicating stove-top heating curves with programmable precision.

A thermo-insulated holding unit preserved flavor stability, while multi-variant dispensing logic enabled structured customization without compromising extraction integrity. This phase formalized our shift toward scientifically controlled, slow-brew automation.

2022 -2023 Phase 3: Expansion

Liquid-to-Cup Modular Extraction Platform, Independent tea and coffee pathways engineered for scalability and flavor integrity.

Expanding to 25 engineers, we developed our liquid-to-cup filter coffee extraction model designed to preserve authentic decoction strength, aroma, and temperature stability at commercial scale. Moving beyond premix systems, we engineered real extraction pathways optimized for automated dispensing.

This led to the first dual-beverage Combo Machine, integrating independent tea and coffee brewing circuits within a modular architecture. Segregated heating systems, ingredient pathways, and synchronized dispensing logic ensured flavor isolation and operational efficiency across high-demand environments.

2024 -2025 Phase 4: Integration

Patent-Backed Commercial Platforms, precision dispensing systems with embedded hygiene automation and proprietary mechanical innovation.

With a 40-member R&D team, innovation converged into market-ready platforms. Our automated Filter Coffee Machine introduced precision extraction control and a hygienic single-nozzle dispensing architecture.

The launch of DITO marked a major milestone, embedding an intelligent self-cleaning mechanism directly within the brewing cycle to enhance uptime, sanitation, and system longevity. During this phase, nine patents were filed covering mechanical design, automated processes, and dispensing technologies, reinforcing our intellectual property framework.filed nine patents covering proprietary mechanical systems, automated processes, and dispensing innovations developed entirely in-house. Phase 4 established us as a patent-backed beverage technology company building intelligent, integrated brewing ecosystems designed for scale, reliability, and long-term evolution.
