Fresh brew system (coffee vending machine)

A fresh brew system grinds fresh coffee beans for every cup and brews the coffee directly, unlike instant systems that use powder.

Function and area of use

A bean-to-cup coffee machine with a fresh brew system has a grinder that grinds the beans portion by portion. A brewing unit forces hot water through the ground coffee. The result is espresso, cappuccino or latte macchiato with the taste of a café. Milk comes as powder or fresh from a refrigerated container.

Fresh brew units are more expensive to buy than instant machines and need more care, such as regular cleaning of the brewing unit and milk system. In return, they convince on taste and quality.

Advantages

• Better taste quality
• Wide choice of drinks
• Ideal for offices, hotels and practices with high quality standards
