Nutrimatic Drink Dispenser

The Nutrimatic Drinks Dispencer is a product of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation, a machine featuring in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. The Guide has this to say on the Nutrimatic Drinks Dispencer:
When the 'Drink' button is pressed it makes an instant but highly detailed examination of the subject's taste buds, a spectroscopic analysis of the subject's metabolism, and then sends tiny experimental signals down the neural pathways to the taste centres of the subject's brain to see what is likely to be well recieved.
However, no-one knows quite why it does this because it then invariably delivers a cupful of liquid that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
In The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Arthur Dent manages to freeze up a Nutrimatic Drinks Dispencer (along with the rest of the spaceship they are on) by asking it rethorically "Why do I want tea?!".
