Experienced humans know all the variables - roast levels, grind size, water temperature, slight differences in timing depending on exact coffee in question… And more importantly they can apply them intuitively without mentally processing each variable separately.
Machines could do all that but such a machine would need good programming (expensive) and a lot of sensors (expensive).
It already happened 15-20 years ago for 90% of people.
Coffee snobs (myself included) sometimes forget that the vast majority of people just want a cup of brown that makes them feel slightly less like shit.

So you’re saying there’s a chance? How far away do you estimate this threshold is reached? My personal guess would be within 15-20 years.
