Instant Drink Machines

Instant drink machines play a key role in the infrastructure of hotels, offices and catering businesses — providing fast and varied hot drink options in a self-service format without the constant presence of a barista or staff. These machines are popular in corporate offices, hotel self-service areas and event centres.

Instant drink machine range

The BOLERO is a compact instant drink machine with one or two canisters, suitable for smaller offices and self-service points. The BOLERO TURBO and BOLERO TURBO LV provide faster water heating and higher output for intensive use.

The BOLERO XL is a higher-capacity model with a wider drink range, ideal for larger offices and events. The QUINTO offers a broader selection of drinks with five canisters for different mixtures.

The RIVERO and SOLO complement the line with models tailored to different capacity and functionality needs — the BHS team can help choose the most suitable model.

Most suitable use scenarios

Corporate offices with a coffee corner use BOLERO series machines so employees can prepare coffee, tea or cocoa in self-service mode without staff involvement. The machine is easy to refill with soluble mixtures.

Hotel self-service areas, event centres and canteens with high footfall use higher-capacity models — BOLERO XL or QUINTO — to ensure fast service and a wide drink range.

Event catering and temporary coffee stations use these machines as a mobile solution, easily set up and adjusted in different locations.

How to choose an instant drink machine

The main criterion is the required drink range and number of canisters — more canisters mean a wider drink selection but more complex maintenance. Smaller offices can manage with BOLERO, while larger venues with high demand are better suited to BOLERO XL or QUINTO.

• Assess the required drink range and number of canisters
• Consider output based on the number of users and peak demand
• Plan a regular canister refill and cleaning schedule
• Consult with BHS on the most suitable model

Self-service coffee station in a corporate office

Corporate offices with a self-service coffee corner install BOLERO or QUINTO series machines so employees can independently prepare coffee, tea or cocoa without staff involvement. The compact size and simple refill procedure allow the machine to be placed in the office kitchen area. In businesses where coffee is an employee welfare element, a high-quality instant drink machine is a popular investment in daily comfort.

Soluble mixture range

The main advantage of instant drink machines is the wide drink range from a single device — coffee, tea, cocoa, hot chocolate and soups in a simple self-service mode. The number of canisters determines how many different drinks the machine can offer simultaneously. QUINTO and BOLERO XL with five or more canisters are suitable for venues needing a broad drink range for different guest or employee preferences.

Canister maintenance and hygiene standards

Regular cleaning of instant drink machine canisters is a mandatory hygiene requirement — soluble mixtures can absorb moisture and create a risk of mould if stored improperly. It is recommended to clean canisters each time the mixture is changed and perform deep cleaning of the machine according to the manufacturer’s instructions. BHS provides maintenance instructions and assistance with hygiene matters.

Event catering and short-term use

Instant drink machines are an ideal solution for event catering businesses — due to quick setup, easy transport and a wide drink range. This solution is popular for corporate events, conferences and private celebrations where professional hot drink service is needed.

Frequently asked questions

How often should instant drink machine canisters be cleaned?
