A few weeks ago, I sang the praises of the delicious plant-based donuts from Planted Donuts which has roots in my ancestral hometown of Lowell, MA.

Today, I want to ping another Lowell legend in the making – p!ng Coffee.

While coffee takeout is nothing new and is a necessary stop along many people’s routes, p!ng represents a revolution in the rolling refreshment realm in that it is automated and autonomous and minimizes wait times while the assuring accuracy for every order!

And with a menu that already includes not just customized locally-sourced coffees but also lattes, teas, energy drinks, organic options and more (all of which are priced around $3-5 and many of which can be further customized with extra syrup, shots, and other flavorful faves), there will surely be demand for this new pioneering concept!

Using p!ng’s proprietary process, guests place their order ahead of time via the p!ng  app and then simply drive past the preparation pod to pick up their personal piece of percolated perfection. p!ng even uses advanced AI to measure the window height of the user’s car so even the hand-off is perfect and spill-proof (ignoring human error, of course!)

Created by a dynamic duo of Boston-based entrepreneurs that combines Veteran know-how, women’s intuition, and expertise in customer experience and robotics, p!ng is now open at 10 Technology Drive in Lowell and is already looking to expand!

So next time you need a drink made right and right quick, be sure to listen for the newest sound in beverage service- p!ng!
