Function and area of use
Hot drinks vending machines heat water to 85–95 °C and mix it with instant powder or freshly ground beans. After the drink is selected, the vending machine doses the ingredients precisely, brews the drink and dispenses it in a cup. Many models offer individual settings for strength, amount of sugar and fill volume.
The vending machines are found in offices, waiting rooms, hospitals, workshops, railway stations and motorway service areas. They replace staff kitchens and give employees and visitors quick access to hot drinks. Modern units with fresh brew technology deliver café quality at vending machine prices.
Hygiene is ensured by automatic cleaning cycles and closed brewing systems. Telemetry monitors cleaning intervals and automatically reports when maintenance is due.
