The Asahi Robocco BeerBot automatically opens cans of your favorite brew then pours you a perfect tall mug of the frosty stuff.

Asahi Robocco Beer Pouring Robot

The robot stores up to six cans of beer in its refrigerated belly, then dispenses them into a glass mug when you’re ready for a drink.

Originally available as part of a contest the beer-maker ran in Japan, CScout Japan is now selling “gently used” ‘bots all around the globe for just $799 (plus $99 for insured shipping). Each Robocco includes everything you need to get started, including instructions in English and Japanese.

While it might be cutting it a little close for Fathers’ Day, I’m sure Dad would forgive you if you got him one of these a couple of days late.
