Types of coffee vending machines for sale
Instant hot drinks machines
Instant machines such as the Nescafé and Highland Estates models mix soluble coffee, tea, chocolate and soup with hot water. They’re quick, reliable and cost less per cup, which suits busy workplaces and waiting areas.
Office and free-vend hot drinks machines
Tabletop machines such as the Brucafe and the stainless touchscreen machine are built for offices where drinks are free for staff. They have no coin or card system, so the business pays for ingredients and staff simply choose a drink.
Bean-to-cup coffee machines
Bean-to-cup machines grind fresh beans for every cup, giving café-style espresso, latte and cappuccino. They cost more but can charge higher prices, which suits offices, hotels and premium sites.
How to choose from our coffee vending machines for sale
- Drinks menu: more choices suit larger teams; fewer drinks keep things simple.
- Instant or bean-to-cup: balance cup quality against running costs and price.
- Water supply: check whether the machine needs a plumbed supply or a tank.
- Payments: Card and phone payments lift sales; card payment with telemetry costs £10 a month plus 2% per transaction on Irelley machines.

Instant or bean-to-cup: which should you buy?
Our coffee vending machines for sale include instant machines, bean-to-cup machines and free-vend office machines. The right choice depends on who will use the machine and what they expect to pay.

If you’re unsure, tell us about your site and footfall and we’ll recommend one of our coffee vending machines for sale.
Running costs of coffee vending machines
Coffee vending machines for sale cost more to run than snack machines because they heat water and use ingredients and cups. Your main costs are coffee, milk powder, chocolate, tea, cups and stirrers, plus electricity.
Bean-to-cup machines use whole beans, which cost more per cup than instant coffee but allow higher prices. Card fees apply on cashless sales, and you’ll need time for cleaning as well as restocking.
Most operators work out a cost per cup, then set prices that leave a healthy margin. Our coffee vending machine for business guide explains this in more detail.
Cleaning and maintenance
Hot drinks machines need regular cleaning to keep drinks tasting good and the machine working well. Rinse mixing bowls and wipe the dispensing area often, and follow the cleaning programme for the brewer.
In hard water areas, regular descaling or a water filter protects the boiler. We show you the cleaning routine when we install your machine, and remote support is included in your warranty.
Coffee vending machines for sale vs office coffee machines
An office coffee machine is usually free for staff and paid for by the business. Coffee vending machines for sale charge per cup, so they can pay for themselves or earn money at public sites.
Some businesses set low prices to cover costs for staff, while others run the machine for profit in reception areas, garages and waiting rooms. You set the price for every drink.
Pricing your drinks
Look at what nearby cafés and shops charge, then price slightly below them for convenience. Bean-to-cup lattes and cappuccinos can usually sell for more than instant coffee or tea.
Card and phone payments make it easier to charge sensible prices, because customers don’t need the right change. Card payment with telemetry costs £10 a month plus 2% per transaction on Irelley machines.
