Not every site can justify a full café build, and plenty of them still lose customers to the coffee shop two doors down. This station answers that by packaging the VS1 bean to cup machine into a compact serving unit with its own cup and consumable storage, ready to plug in and trade from. It occupies roughly the footprint of a small cabinet yet presents as a proper drinks counter to anyone walking up to it.
What the machine does
The VS1 grinds fresh beans for each order and delivers authentic espresso-based drinks through a deliberately simple control layout. Design work across the VS range has gone into making the machine obvious to use, which pays off when the person operating it is a customer rather than trained staff. Cup after cup comes out to the same recipe, removing the variability that puts people off in-house coffee.
Key points
- Ciao VS1 bean to cup machine with grind-fresh brewing on every drink
- Matched serving station sized for tighter floor plans and modest counters
- Built-in storage for takeaway cups, lids and condiments
- 2,000 drinks included with the package to launch the offer
- Simplified user interface intended for unattended, self-serve operation
- Plug-in mains installation with no plumbing or building work required
Reception areas, small offices, salons, garages, village shops and staff rooms are the natural home for this one, particularly where volumes are steady rather than heavy and nobody has time to babysit a machine. Upkeep means refilling beans and milk powder, emptying the waste container and letting the cleaning programme run, with servicing handled through the same supplier that provides the ingredients. For a first venture into selling coffee, it is about as low-risk a starting point as the category offers, and it scales neatly if demand grows beyond what a compact machine can comfortably carry.
