Five star hotels were originally the home of tabletop machines, but with more and more people on the move and under pressure, they soon began popping up in offices, coffee shops, bars, shops and waiting areas across the country.
On premises where space is limited, it makes total sense for a tabletop drink and/or snack machine to be used. There are also relatively few maintenance issues involved - a key issue for those using it as an ‘add-on’ service to keep customers or employees happy.
In fact, the fine beverages enjoyed outside the house are increasingly making their way into the homes and kitchens and it is now very common to see one of these machines in show home kitchens, as a component part of the ‘perfect lifestyle’ being marketed. The ‘coffee house culture’ is no longer just about the multi-nationals - it’s about you and me too!
