FAQs

Do you sell vending machine coffee wholesale?

Yes. This collection includes wholesale vending machine coffee, instant vending coffee bags, freeze dried vending coffee and decaf vending coffee for commercial machines, operators, offices and facilities teams.

Can I switch to a different vending coffee in my machine?

Yes. If your machine currently uses instant coffee, you can safely switch to any of our other instant vending coffees, provided the product is suitable for vending machines. Most machines using instant coffee can be refilled with alternative vending coffee bags from brands such as Kenco, Nescafé, Douwe Egberts, Amber Coffee Co, Beverica and other machine-ready options.

The main thing is to stay within the same ingredient type. If your machine has an instant coffee canister, choose another instant vending coffee rather than whole beans, fresh brew coffee or standard catering tins. After switching, it is worth checking the drink strength and adjusting the machine dose settings if needed.

What brands of instant vending coffee do you stock?

This range includes brands such as Kenco, Nescafé, Douwe Egberts, Amber Coffee Co, Beverica, Classic Vending and Vending Superstore across selected vending coffee products.

What is instant vending coffee?

Instant vending coffee is coffee designed for use in vending machines and automated hot drink systems. It is usually supplied in refill bags or case formats that are easier to load into machine hoppers than retail jars.

What is the difference between vending coffee and normal instant coffee?

Vending coffee is supplied for machine use, with formats and product types suited to automated dispensing. Standard instant coffee jars are designed for manual use in kitchens and are not always the right choice for machine hoppers.

Do you sell Kenco vending coffee?

Do you sell Nescafé vending coffee?

What size are vending coffee bags?

Many vending coffee products are supplied in 300g bags, with selected products also available in larger formats or case quantities. Check the individual product page for exact pack size and case configuration.

Is freeze dried coffee suitable for vending machines?

Freeze dried vending coffee is commonly used in commercial hot drink machines, provided it is suitable for the machine and hopper setup. Always check the product details and your machine requirements before ordering.

Can I use catering coffee tins in a vending machine?

Catering tins are usually intended for manual office or kitchen use. For vending machines, it is better to use coffee products supplied as vending coffee bags or machine-suitable refills.

What is the difference between vending coffee and standard instant catering coffee?

Standard retail or catering coffee tins contain granules that easily absorb ambient moisture, which causes them to clump together and block automated machinery. Instant vending coffee bags are specifically freeze-dried or spray-dried into uniform, free-flowing granules that resist moisture buildup. This ensures they glide smoothly through vending canisters and dissolve instantly when hot water is mechanically introduced.

What is the standard gram throw for a vending machine cup of coffee?

 For a standard 7oz or 9oz vending cup, the typical industry "gram throw" (the amount of powder dropped per cup) ranges between 1.6g and 2.1g of instant vending coffee. This allows a single 300g bag to yield roughly 150 to 180 cups, providing route operators with highly predictable, ultra-transparent margin control.

What should I buy with instant vending coffee?

Instant vending coffee is often bought with vending whitener, granulated milk, vending hot chocolate, paper vending cups, plastic vending cups, sugar, stirrers and vending machine cleaning products.
