Editor’s Insight: This is a very informative video demonstration of the Seattle’s Best Coffee machine, which has resulted in higher coffee sales for many operators in the last year.
Coffee vending has suffered in recent years, partially because location downsizing has made coffee vending less profitable, but also because vending operators have not provided a product that meets the needs of today’s coffee consumer.
Today’s coffee consumer will pay more for a cup of coffee, provided it meets their expectations. Vending operators must realize that the consumer has changed. 06-14-11 by Elliot Maras
