A tea and coffee vending machine prepares both bean coffee and brewed tea in a single unit. In Türkiye a drinks point that sells only coffee misses half its demand: tea is consumed as much as coffee here, and in many locations more. This page explains how a combined machine works, what capacities exist, how payment is set up and what it costs to run.
Tea and Coffee in One Machine: How It Works
The Jetinno JL300 is one device, not two. On the coffee side, beans are ground at the moment of ordering and extracted under pressure; on the tea side, hot water is heated on a separate line and dosed according to the recipe. The aroma of coffee does not carry into the tea, and vice versa.
In practice this means you do not need to buy two machines, allocate two floor spaces, or pay service on two units. One body, one socket, roughly half a square metre.
Choosing a Model by Capacity
The first question when choosing a machine is not the brand but how many cups a day it will sell. Capacity determines how often it needs refilling: too little means refilling twice a day, too much is capital tied up for nothing.
| Capacity per refill | Best suited for | Refill frequency |
|---|---|---|
| 40 cups | Small office, reception, showroom | 1–2 per week |
| 60 cups | Mid-sized office, clinic, shop | 2 per week |
| 80 cups | Business centre floor, workshop, gym | 2–3 per week |
| 120 cups | Factory shift, school, hospital | Daily |
| 250 cups | Mall, university, high-footfall point | Daily |
The simplest way to pick the right capacity: count footfall at the point for one week, then take roughly double the estimated daily sales. If you are unsure, we will work it out together before installation — the assessment is free.
What Is on the Menu
| Group | Drinks |
|---|---|
| Tea | Black tea, light brew, strong brew, herbal tea |
| Espresso-based | Espresso, americano, lungo, double espresso |
| Milk-based | Latte, cappuccino, flat white, macchiato |
| Other | Hot chocolate, plain hot water |
Recipes are configured per location: tea strength, coffee dose, milk ratio, water temperature and cup volume. A factory can get strong tea and a sharper coffee profile, an office a lighter one — same machine, different settings.
Payment: Coin, Token and Card
Whether the machine generates revenue depends on its payment module. There are five options and several can run at once:
- Coin unit — accepts coins and gives change; the classic coin-operated setup;
- Token unit — a token-operated mode for factories, schools and closed facilities;
- Bank card and contactless — credit card, NFC, mobile payment;
- QR code — through a mobile app;
- Free-vend mode — for staff use, without payment.
A module can be fitted later: you can start in free-vend mode and move to a paid setup without replacing the machine.
Where to Install
| Location | Why tea and coffee work together here |
|---|---|
| Factories and workshops | Tea demand at shift breaks exceeds coffee; suits a token setup |
| Offices and business centres | Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon — one machine covers both peaks |
| Schools and universities | Tea for students, coffee for staff |
| Hospitals | Round-the-clock demand when the cafeteria is closed |
| Public buildings | Long waiting times and a high expectation of hot drinks |
Purchase and Rental
There are two models. Under purchase, the machine is yours and all revenue stays with you; the price is 7,200 USD + VAT. Under the location partnership, the upfront cost is 0 ₺: the machine, consumables and service belong to CoffeeVar, and the location owner receives 20% of every sale.
| Item | Typical value |
|---|---|
| Ingredient cost per cup | 12–20 ₺ |
| Average selling price | 80–120 ₺ |
| Daily sales (good location) | 30–60 cups |
| Monthly revenue potential | up to 90,000 ₺ |
| Payback period | 6–12 months |
Detailed calculations are on the coffee machine prices page, and partnership terms on the machine rental page. All models are in the coffee machine catalog.
By Use Case
Two situations have their own page, because the terms differ:
- Office tea and coffee machine — capacity by headcount, free-vend and token modes, noise and water supply;
- Tea and coffee machine rental — installation with 0 ₺ upfront, revenue share and an example calculation.
Maintenance and Refilling
Daily work amounts to refilling and simple cleaning: tea, coffee beans, milk powder, sugar, cups and stirrers. The milk line and mixer are cleaned every day by an automatic washing programme. The online panel shows sales, stock levels and faults, and alerts you when stock runs low — so refills happen when needed rather than on a blind schedule.
