Why buy a coffee vending machine
Buying a coffee machine makes sense where hot drinks are a staff benefit rather than a profit centre, or where you want to set your own cup price and keep the takings.
Every machine we sell is set up before it leaves us: price file loaded, spirals pitched for your product list, payment system fitted and vend-tested on each selection.
- New machine with manufacturer warranty
- Payment system fitted, tested and configured
- Delivery and placement Australia wide
- Operator handover covering loading, pricing and cash out
- Ongoing parts, spares and service support
What this machine holds
A coffee vending machine runs espresso, flat white, cappuccino, latte, long black, hot chocolate, mocha and tea. Capacity is bean-to-cup brewers holding 2 to 4 kg of beans and 400 to 600 cups between refills, which is what determines how often you need to visit the site.
The machine suits offices, reception areas, hospitals, dealerships, hotels and shift-based workplaces that run around the clock.
Specifications
- Fresh bean grinder with barista-style brew pressure
- Fresh milk or granulated milk configurations
- Mains plumbed or bottle-fed water options
- Automatic rinse cycles and lockable cup dispensers
Payment systems and what they cost
Machine prices are quoted without a payment system so you can match acceptance to the site. A staff-only tea room may only need a card reader, while a public-facing machine usually wants coin, note and card.
| Payment system | Price |
|---|---|
| Cashless credit card reader (new, installed) | From $550 installed |
| Coin acceptor / coin mechanism (used) | From $295 GST inclusive |
| Note reader, accepts $5, $10 and $20 notes | From $350 + GST |
Payment systems are quoted separately so you only pay for the acceptance you need.
New or used?
A new coffee vending machine gives you full warranty and the current cabinet and controller generation. A refurbished machine gets you trading for less, which matters when you are proving a site before committing.
| New machine | Used machine | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Quoted per model | From $2,450 + GST |
| Warranty | Manufacturer warranty | Workshop-tested, warranty on request |
| Lead time | Subject to stock | Usually available now |
| Best for | Long-term sites and tenders | New operators and trial sites |
Frequently asked questions
What is not included in the machine price?
Prices are quoted plus GST, plus your chosen payment system and plus transport to site. That keeps the machine price honest, because a card reader and freight to a regional site are very different costs from a metro cash-only install.
Can you deliver and install a machine I buy?
Yes. We arrange transport Australia wide, place the machine, fit and test the payment system, load the price file and hand over with a short operator briefing.
Does the coffee machine need plumbing?
Not always. Plumbed machines are best for high volume sites, but bottle-fed models only need a power point, which suits leased tenancies where you cannot alter the plumbing.
Fresh milk or powdered milk?
Fresh milk models produce a noticeably better flat white and are preferred in offices. Granulated milk machines are more forgiving in remote or unattended sites because there is nothing to spoil.
