Size Matters

There are many coffee vending machine companies across the US offering efficient and reliable coffee services from state of the art brewers and thermal single cup servers, to heavyweight workhorse products providing hot beverage vending on a daily basis.

The demand for coffee vending machines is so great in America that coffee vending products are manufactured in their thousands and come in all sizes. Their capabilities range from supplying the home single servings of coffee, thru catering for small business requirements, to larger business demands which are often so great the vending machine is in constant use.

A Matter of Taste

All coffee vending machines are designed to serve the customer the brand of coffee they love, be it in a cup or a can. And for the conscientious buyer, companies offering good environmental ethics are now reaping the rewards of this multi-billion dollar industry.

How Much Does a Coffee Vending Machine Cost?

Prices for the larger heavyweight coffee vending machines (giving 15 selections) start at around $6,700new, with some companies offering re-manufactured condition or clean and tested units of this size for less than $3,000.

The smaller vending machine with 4 selections can cost as little as $280, while the vending machines in the middle range can start around $500 rising to around $5,000.

Vending machines offering a selection of products (including quick snacks and canned drinks with coffee) can be priced between $2,000 and $25,000, making them quite expensive to buy and maintain.

However, the majority of vending companies do lease their machines and will service and maintain them as part of the contract, thereby ensuring your workforce needn't go without their cup of coffee.
