Sites that need a drinks offer working every month of the year, not just in July or January, will recognise the logic behind this station. The Ciao VX1 bean to cup machine and a twin-bowl slush machine share one fitted serving unit, so a single position on the shop floor covers both the hot and the frozen side of the menu. A 4,000-drink allocation is supplied with the package, which means the counter can open for trade rather than waiting on a first ingredient order.
How it performs in service
Fresh beans are ground for each cup on the VX1 side, giving proper espresso-based drinks at the touch of a button and none of the fuss of a traditional group head. The slush bowls run continuously alongside, holding two flavours at pouring consistency through the busiest part of the afternoon. Because the whole thing is self-serve capable, throughput is limited by the queue rather than by staff availability.
What you get
- Ciao VX1 bean to cup machine producing authentic espresso-based beverages
- Twin slush bowls for two simultaneous flavours, refilled without taking the unit offline
- 4,000 drinks included with the package to support the opening period
- Fitted serving station with cup and consumable storage kept close to hand
- One-piece counter presentation suitable for customer-facing retail areas
- Simple mains connection, so siting is a question of space rather than plumbing works
Petrol forecourts, campus shops, holiday parks and independent convenience retailers all suit this format, particularly where staffing is thin and the counter has to look after itself. Daily upkeep amounts to topping up beans, milk powder and slush syrup, wiping down and emptying waste, and a service visit covers both machines in one appointment instead of two.
