Coffee vending machine

Post by **Snackmore** » August 30th, 2011, 11:48 am

I have been asked to supply a hot drinks machine for a site that has roughly 100/150 people passing through and I have no experience what so ever. I have looked on ebay and quite like the look of the Fusion machine (although expensive)

What would be best? In cup or the other type? Is there much maintenence and what do the site need to supply? Does there need to be hot and cold water? More importantly what would be a fair vend price?

All advice greatfully received

Is it the Flavia Fusion your looking at?
Flavia is quite expensive. I've got a Flavia fusion in the loft that I can afford to use.

Yes the one I looked at on ebay is £750 item number 160632352815

Do you suggest something else?
Cheers

Thats not a Flavia. These are flavia http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from= ... nkw=flavia" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; which are expensive drinks.
I dont know anything about coffee machines sorry (apart from the flavia in my loft costs too much lol)

Go for a stentorfield machine using ingredients for 150 people. There the best machines available. Regarding maintenance if you understand some elec/mechanical maintenance you should be ok or you can always ring me if your stuck.
Pay around 3-500 dependant on condition.

Just looked at the ebay ad , yes thats a stentorfield fusion. Expensive but with 9oz paper cups you can charge a premium for drinks. Need to know what enviroment its going into ,how much you want to charge per cup, how often you are visiting site, are you charging for service as well? also if you want in cups or ingredients. Give me a call if your stuck.
