A café queue eats the break faster than the coffee gives it back. At the machine the sum is simpler: a choice on the screen, cashless payment, a cup. How long it takes can be said without promising that it tastes like a roastery.
The Alnos Vending coffee machine, model AV-TCN-NCF-7N, makes a drink in about 60 seconds. It drops a cup, fits a lid, and hands it out through the pick-up door. The cup is 12 oz, about 380 ml. Those are the manufacturer’s technical data, not figures from a tasting.
What happens in that minute
Coffee is made from freshly ground beans. The hopper holds 1.5 kg. Beside it are six canisters for soluble products, one of them for sugar. Brewing water is about 92 °C. A hot drink is hot. That is the sentence, without a poetic “perfect temperature”.
We do not publish coffee names. What goes in the cup is agreed with the company. The Products page talks about coffee from freshly ground beans and drinks from soluble products. No brands.
The lid is not a gadget
The lid is there so the drink can be carried to a desk, not worn down half the corridor. The machine fits it. The office does not keep a stack of lids “just in case”, and it does not run a tiny café.
Alnos Vending refills cups, lids, beans and soluble products. The scope is in the contract. We do not sell the machines.
Before a cup drops at all
The machine stands indoors only, including in an office. It needs a place and a separate earthed 230 V socket. Water: bottles inside the machine, or a mains line, agreed in the contract. It does not take coins. Payment is cashless; we confirm the details when we set the machine up.
We work in Zamość, Lublin and Rzeszów. The company office is in Zamość. We do not serve another city yet. An enquiry is kept for up to 12 months.
Figures we do not stretch
About 60 seconds, a cup of about 380 ml, water at about 92 °C. The word “about” is doing real work. These are the manufacturer’s technical data, not a guarantee that every drink lands on the second and on the degree. We also do not publish how many cups fit in the machine at once. That is not on the site.
The lid and the pick-up door are there so the drink can be taken, not fished for. Whoever refills the cups is the same party that refills the beans: Alnos Vending. Reception does not pick up a second job from it.
A door that keeps an eye on the cup
When the drink is ready, the pick-up door opens by itself. Sensors check that the cup has been taken before the machine moves on to the next person. Nobody reaches deep into the machine or feels around for the cup. Inside there is a turntable, an arm and motors. Hands stay out, and rightly so.
What the office does, and what it does not
- The office: names a place in the building, provides a separate earthed 230 V socket, and agrees with us where the water comes from.
- Alnos Vending: refills beans, soluble products, cups and lids, empties the grounds container, cleans the brewer and mixers, services the machine.
- Nobody in the office: opens the machine, adjusts the grinder, or changes settings on the screen.
The scope is in the contract. Reception does not get a second job at the coffee machine.
A minute times the queue
About 60 seconds a drink is a fact about the machine. How many people turn up at 10:00 is a fact about your office. We do not quote cups per hour, because it depends on the drinks and on how fast someone chooses. If a whole shift breaks at once, say so in the enquiry. We will talk about whether one spot in the office is enough, or whether another layout makes sense. No promises up front.
When something goes wrong
The machine has a sensor that checks the cup has actually dropped. If the screen shows a message or the drink does not come out, do not shake the machine and do not reach inside. Take a photo of the screen and call the number on the label: +48 84 300 10 10, or email hello@alnosvending.pl. Say where the machine stands and what happened. Alnos Vending service takes it from there.
It helps if someone in the office knows where the label with the number is. One person passing on the report is better than five people writing separately. Nothing needs fixing on the spot. A clear description and a photo are enough. The number and email are on every machine, in Polish.
A minute, not a promise about the queue
About 60 seconds is how long the drink takes to make, not a promise that nobody is standing in front of you. If the break at your place looks like a concert, say so in the enquiry. We will match the conversation to the place, not a slogan to the cup.
hello@alnosvending.pl, +48 84 300 10 10, the Golden Ticket. An enquiry form, not a lottery.
