Mark Cutforth commented on Mark Cutforth's blog post Mercury Espresso Bar"Ha... They use automatic espresso machines which involves mostly pushing buttons.

“We’ve tried to create a space that’s bright and cheery; that’s eternally summer, even in the middle of winter,” says manager and partner, Kate Hardy.
