Here’s a video (in Dutch, with translation) of the breakfast machine in action:

“In a movie a breakfast-machine is usually used to introduce a nerd or a professor”

“It is a very traditional breakfast: we call it ‘strictly continental’ “

“There’s toast, jam made by my mother and coffee, but we still need to invent something to whisk the milk because I don’t like coffee without milk”

“…and egg, scrambled egg, which is very easy: all you need to do is drop it on a plate and stop the skin from falling with it. That was one of the first things we finished.”

“in a movie you can manipulate everything, but we wanted to build the real thing. Without any tricks, just to see if it could really work.”

“They invite us and the audience to help improve the machine: Things go wrong all the time, there are thousands of small problems to be solved, by solving one problem at a time we’ll get there.”

“Actually this isn’t very useful; you can just put an egg in a pan, fry it and you’re done. For us it’s about the process, the making of the machine and solving all those problems. Things keep falling or they break: That’s what this is about. If it delivers a perfect breakfast is, in the end, not the point.”
