Coffee machines
Now with snack and drink vending machines out of the way, let’s discuss the range of coffee machines from freestanding to a tabletop. You may not need a snack or cold drink machine, but instead, you might want to go down the hot drinks route. When deciding which coffee machine is right for you, it’s important to understand the type of coffee (instant or bean-to-cup) and which type of machine would suit your needs. Let’s break it down.
The Vitro collection
In this collection, you have the Vitro X1 Mia Fresh Milk, Vitro S3 Bean-To-Cup and Vitro X3 Espresso. You might think they’re all the same machine, but they’re very different from one another.
Vitro X1 – this machine prepares drinks with a delicious cold or hot foam, like the best Barista, at the touch of a button. High-pressure air is injected into the milk to create millions of bubbles coated with casein, the most important protein component of fresh milk, creating a velvety and uniform texture. Also, if you decide you want something chilled, you can make your very own cold coffee beverage.
Vitro S3 – a combination of both freshly ground and brewed bean coffee with chocolate and milk.
Vitro X3 – is a touch screen enabled office coffee machine capable of delivering delicious, premium coffee, tea and hot chocolate consistently throughout the day. Drink options include authentic espresso, americano, hot chocolate, cappuccino, caffe latte and hot water.
