Searching for a coffee vending machine in Ireland? Prioritise cup volume, payment type, and milk system before choosing a model. For busy offices or hospitality, select bean‑to‑cup units (e.g., Coffetek Vitro, Necta Krea/Koro) sized for 80–300 cups/day; for factories or 24/7 sites, instant/hybrid machines deliver faster recovery and lower maintenance. Power is a standard 13A socket; plumbed machines need a 3/4" BSP water feed, isolation valve, and inline filtration—vital for Dublin/Cork water hardness to prevent limescale. Decide fresh milk (best quality; needs countertop fridge, daily purge, HACCP logs) vs granulated milk (simpler, lower service). Specify 8–12oz cups, dual canisters for chocolate/decaf, and programmable recipes. Fit PSD2-compliant contactless readers (Nayax/Payter) for Apple/Google Pay, plus free‑vend and multi‑price; enable telemetry (MDB/DEX) for remote pricing, cashless health, and low‑stock alerts. Typical costs: lease €30–€60/week, consumables €0.15–€0.45 per cup, vend price €1.80–€3.00; VAT 23% applies. Expect 5–10 working days from site survey to install; confirm drainage, ventilation clearance, and access. Demand a service SLA (4–8h Dublin; next day nationwide) with preventative maintenance, water filter changes, and callouts included. Ensure WEEE take‑back and cup/waste segregation. Coverage across Dublin, Cork, Galway, and Limerick with Ireland‑based parts and support. Includes 24/7 helpdesk, loan units, and operator training.
