Similar to a snack vending machine, a coffee vending machine is perfect for an office or space that is frequently used.
You can find large coffee vending machine displays at places like rest stops and corporate offices, but for smaller offices, companies like Keurig offer coffee vending machine displays. Keurig’s coffee vending machine is perfect for offices of 30 or more employees, using an automatic kcup ejection, direct line water plumbing for high capacity brewing, and unlimited back-to-back brewing every 60 seconds. The coffee vending machine is also compatible with a full featured coin changer for those offices looking to cancel out any costs associated with the machine or to make a profit.
The smallest coffee vending machine is about 30 pounds, 12 inches wide, and 17 inches high, similar to the height and weight of a normal coffee machine, but with the extra functionality that allows continuous service.
For offices with hundreds of employees, or spaces like rest stops or cafeterias, a larger coffee vending machine may be required. A larger coffee vending machine is available from vending.com that allows for either instant or fresh brew configurations, delivers a broad menu of premium and specialty coffees to choose from, and has a state of the art brewing system that delivers precise ingredients per the customers order.
The larger of the coffee machine displays is approximately 72 inches in height and 28 inches in width, but weighs over 265 pounds. Along with the weight differences, the larger coffee vending machine also allows up to 72 different coffee selections and can handle up to 523 seven ounce cups of coffee before needing to be changed.
With the smaller coffee vending machine, you can purchase kcups from Keurig in a variety of flavors, including everything from latte to decaf to seasonal coffee flavors. Keep in mind, however, that the kcups can cost $13 per pack, so if you’re ordering hundreds of coffee supplies a month, the cost can add up.
With the larger coffee vending service, customers insert their money into the vending machine, choose their recipe (add milk, steam, size, etc.), and receive a warm cup of coffee. Recipes that are included on the larger coffee vending machine include regular coffee, whipped coffee, whipped decaf, espresso, cafe mocha, cappuccino, cafe latte, hot chocolate, french vanilla cappuccino, english toffee, and a variety of tea flavors.
Each office coffee vending machine delivers a different set of features, so depending on what your office needs, review each of the coffee service vendors to make the best decision. Research the different types of coffee equipment that will be needed to service your coffee vending machine as well, as the costs can add up over time.
