At 1Minute Brew Studio, our journey began with a simple observation: in today's fast-paced world, convenience often comes at the expense of quality.
As professionals ourselves, we saw firsthand how workplace beverage options were often limited — traditional coffee services could be expensive, slow, or operationally complicated, while many automated solutions lacked quality, variety, or reliability.
We believed there had to be a better way.
Founded by Albert Qu and Oliver Zhang, 1Minute Brew Studio was built on a shared vision: to bring the latest beverage automation technology and the best possible user experience to Canada.
Over the course of months, we carefully researched global innovations, explored advanced manufacturing solutions, and evaluated numerous machine platforms to identify the highest-quality system available. Rather than choosing the lowest-cost option, we intentionally selected premium, high-end technology because we believed long-term reliability, beverage quality, and customer experience should never be compromised.
Our goal is not simply to place machines in buildings. We aim to redefine how people experience beverages in workplaces, commercial spaces, and modern communities. By combining innovation, automation, thoughtful design, and operational excellence, we are building a new standard — one where premium drinks are accessible in under a minute, without sacrificing quality.
For us, this is about more than coffee. It's about introducing smarter infrastructure, elevating everyday experiences, and bringing cutting-edge convenience to Canadian workplaces.
As first-generation founders building in a rapidly evolving market, Albert and Oliver are committed to creating a company that reflects both technological progress and genuine customer value.
We believe the future of workplace amenities lies in seamless, data-driven, and beautifully designed experiences — and we're proud to help bring that future here.
This is only the beginning.
