AI spice dispenser Spicerr determines the user's taste
The smart spice dispenser Spicerr uses AI (what else) to learn its user's tastes and adapts suitable recipes based on them in future.

Using artificial intelligence and supported by an app, the smart spice dispenser Spicerr is designed to find out the personal taste of its user. According to the manufacturer, it "adapts spices and recipes to your favourite flavours to create a personalized cooking experience".
It looks like a futuristic pepper mill and holds six interchangeable spice capsules. The business model: a capsule machine that needs to be constantly replenished. The manufacturer promises a clean cooking experience without lumpy powders and dirty measuring spoons. The capsules are packaged airtight and are said to preserve the aroma of the spices.

Select recipe, load capsule, cook
There is a touch display on the top of the dispenser that can be used to select a spice. A switch, which you hold with several fingers on the handle like a blender, rotates the selected capsule and releases the flavoring powder.
In the app, you can choose from online recipes or upload your own. The second step after selecting the recipe is to load the required capsules. The dispenser doses automatically according to the recipe. Unfortunately, the world doesn't work in such a way that a magazine with six cartridges is enough to cook Indian, Italian and home-style German food. The manufacturer supplies twelve capsules with the purchase of the Essential Kit, including chili flakes, ginger, cinnamon, cumin, thyme and oregano.
Deep Spice: the app collects data while cooking
Over time, Spicerr will learn the preferences of its users, which recipes and flavors they prefer and which spices they don't like. The Spicerr app adapts the recipes to the data and suggests suitable dishes. For example, if you cook a Jamie Oliver recipe but like it particularly spicy, Spicerr will adjust the seasoning accordingly.
