Barista Bot MK-I

The mad artist Bruyn was never one to conform to traditional victorian conventions. Whilst tea was the drink of choice of the era, he in fact desired nothing more than a good latte or capuccino (Yes of course they were available in victorian times, this is obviously an alternate universe!)
Because he himself could not make a good coffee., He decided to build a bot that could make one for him, and so the Barista Bot MK-1 was born.
Unfortunately however, if you cannot make a good coffee yourself, then chances are you cannot make a steambot who will make you a good coffee for you. The first barista bot was an unparalleled failure. Its coffees were too watery and the milk was frothed far too much. Obviously a side effect of too much steam!
On the plus side however, MK-1, who the mad artist named Barry, was able to do quite a good job of entertaining the extremely needy Meela. It seemed that the little puppy had taken quite a liking to the rather comical barista bot and chased him around the substation.
The mad artist however did make a note to retrofit a few of his lamp bots with emergency fire extinguishers as Barry and Meela's antics were prone to cause the odd accident from time to time.
