But today no such specific places are required to install a modern coffee vending machine. This can be placed anywhere without any formal infrastructure. Even narrow corridors in the premises of public offices, cinema halls, educational institutions and commercial malls are enough for setting up of coffee vending machines which are intended for mass consumption.
When coffee became favourtie beverage of the people many machines were developed to prepare and serve the drink in large scales. Innumerable versions of coffee are now consumed all over the world in tune with the tastes and preferences of the connoisseurs. There are regional and national specialities of coffee consumed by people irrespective of race or nationality. Commercial coffee machines with innovative features are produced and marketed by leading manufacturers. Some of them are completely automatic and programmable.
Whether it is Espresso or Cappuccino there are machines to mix and serve them at the touch of a button. Special features are incorporated, not only to make the process easy, but also to make the product tasty. A good example is the use of burr grinders instead of blade grinders.
