Bachelor's thesis, Harvard College.https://nrs.harvard.edu/URN-3:HUL.INSTREPOS:37366965This senior thesis project presents The Perfect Chai Maker, a machine capable of making masala chai, a South Asian tea beverage, automatically. Chai is a method of making tea rather an a flavour itself. With an increasing demand for chai in the American and European market, products have failed to replicate the traditional recipe or to improve on the inconvenience currently associated with making chai--such as time taken for preparation of the ingredients and supervising the recipe when on the heat. This machine follows strict tolerances based on a modified version of a chai recipe to replicate a traditional cup of chai. The milk is inserted to the machine by the user though it self dispenses ingredients and hot water, taking a total of less than 5 minutes to operate. Most of the specifications were met for the machine.application/pdfenThesis or Dissertation2021-02-250000-0001-5009-7291
