Coffetek has received the NIVO Equipment Supplier (National Independent Vending Operators) award for the sixth time.  NIVO is one of the most important purchasing groups in the UK and this award recognises Coffetek as the best vending equipment supplier of the year. Voting is carried out with the participation of more than 280 vending machine operators who are part of NIVO.

Juanje Alberdi, director of the Coffee & Vending Systems division of the Azkoyen Group, expressed his pride regarding this recognition: “The Azkoyen Group is very proud to have received this award for yet another year. It motivates us to keep working on helping to create unique consumer experiences with our coffee machines. We have more than 75 years of experience developing technological innovations to adapt to the needs of our customers and end users. Examples include the patented Distance Selection technology, which is revolutionising the market by allowing drinks to be selected without touching the surface of the machine, and the recently patented MIA micro air injection technology, that prepares a perfect, silky and consistent froth for a wide range of coffees and fresh milk drinks.”

And this is not the only award the company has received from the British vending industry. In previous years, the company has received the Vending Industry Awards “Vendies” as well as from the Associated Vending Services Limited (AVS) group, which operates more than 65,000 machines in the British market.

With these three awards, the Azkoyen Group continues its successful trajectory in the United Kingdom with its Coffetek brand. Technology has no borders and nor do people’s needs, which is why the Azkoyen Group is now present in 95 countries on five continents.

Coffetek launches the new Vitro M5 automatic coffee machine, which complements the successful Vitro series.

The Vitro M5 has been developed with the help of leading engineers specialised in the preparation of fresh milk. The innovative patented micro-injection of air (MIA) technology makes it possible to prepare a perfect, silky and consistent foam that maximises the quality of the drink. Everything takes place using a rapid production process that significantly reduces waiting times. Thanks to its elegant design, user-friendly drink selection and a wide range of gourmet espresso and fresh milk drinks, coffee time becomes a very special experience for the user. Furthermore, the Vitro M5 can produce a delicious froth, even when using  plant based milks.

The latest generation of MIA technology allows the density and consistency of the foam to be programmed, as well as the hot or cold temperature, thus adjusting it to the tastes in different countries and locations.The Vitro M5 offers a complete selection of espressos and fresh milk drinks, from cappuccino to latte macchiato with a delicious and dense frothy layer to satisfy the tastes of every consumer.

In addition to the numerous advantages of MIA, we can also add the energy efficiency that characterises the Vitro M5 (since it does not need a steam boiler, thus avoiding the periodic safety checks and problems due to limescale deposits in the boiler).

The Vitro M5 model is adapted to the current situation where safety and hygiene in the purchasing process are of great importance. This enables product selection without any contact with the surface by means of the patented Distance Selection technology, which allows the user to obtain the products without any contact with the surface of the machine. It also has a quick and easy self-cleaning system, a key factor in this type of machine.

This model is fitted with the patented AZK V30 variable brewing system which allows the range of drinks on offer to be extended and the degree of grinding and the amount of coffee to be added to each selection to be specified.

The new machine is suitable for all types of businesses, offices, hotels, service stations, convenience stores and other Coffee-to-Go establishments due to its reliability, capacity, productivity and easy maintenance and cleaning, resulting in greater customer satisfaction and reduced maintenance costs.

Coffetek will incorporate Azkoyen Group patented Distance Selection Technology in its range. The technology allows the user to obtain the products without having any contact with the surface of the machine, adding safety and hygiene to the purchasing process.

The mechanical push-button or touch-screen panels on vending machines, are now being replaced by new technologies that work remotely, such as the Distance Selection Technology featured in Azkoyen Group machines. Thanks to this, the user can select the product they want from a distance of up to 2 centimetres from the surface of the selection panel as shown in this video.

In addition to contactless payments and other related payment systems, the Azkoyen Group also has the Pay4vend electronic payment technology which allows remote payment using mobile devices and Joyco APP, allowing the distance selection and contactless payment on the phone.

The health and safety measures enabled by Distance Selection Technology, Pay4Vend, and Joyco technologies will improve consumer confidence in the use of vending machines, ideal for workplaces and hospitality.

Changing the way we interact with the devices around us, such as vending machines, has become an indispensable step to reduce the risk of spreading bacteria and viruses such as Covid-19, which will be reflected in improved health for users.
