Where a venue wants takeaway coffee but has no room for a fitted counter, the Ciao Coffee to Go Station VX1 offers the complete package in a single unit. The machine, its ingredients, the cups and the waste all live within one cabinet, and the layout has been simplified deliberately so a first-time customer can order and collect without asking anyone for help.
How it brews
Fresh coffee beans are ground for each order and brewed straight into the cup, so the espresso base is made on demand rather than held. Separate canisters of dried milk and chocolate powder let the VX1 build cappuccino, latte, mocha and hot chocolate alongside black coffee, all without a refrigerated milk supply. The result is a broad menu from a machine with a genuinely small footprint and only a mains connection to worry about.
At a glance
- Fresh bean grinding on every drink for a consistent espresso base
- Dried milk and chocolate powder canisters for milk-based specialities
- Simplified front panel developed around the customer experience
- Self-contained serving station with integrated storage and waste
- Automatic rinsing routine to keep the brewing path clean
- Single-phase mains operation with no plumbed milk line needed
Smaller forecourts, convenience stores, workshops, reception areas, sports pavilions and staff rooms tend to be the natural home for the VX1, especially where drinks are sold or offered outside staffed hours. Restocking is a two-minute job: beans in the hopper, powders in the canisters, cups on the dispenser, then run the cleaning programme when trade closes. With no milk fridge to manage and no barista skills required, it is an easy addition to a site that has never sold coffee before, and the tidy cabinet keeps used cups, powder spills and packaging out of the customer’s eyeline. Should the layout change later, the station moves as one item rather than needing a counter rebuilt around it.
