So much choice, so little time 21 07 2008 - 11:14:09 AM

It’s about time that we got down to the nitty gritty in drink vending machine choices. Mars Drinks has a fantastic range of machines to suit any size of office or workplace: from perfectly formed coffee machines that can be popped on a desk to full blown machines which offer employees the works! The choice is so comprehensive that you might be worried where to start.

It’s actually easier that you might think – and this blog is here to help. Perhaps the best way to start is by asking yourself some key questions, such as: What do I want from a drink vending machine? How many people will be using it? Will they want a variety of drinks 24/7 or just a few carefully selected trusted brands? Is to create a fantastic impression when clients walk through the door? Is it to motivate people to go that extra step?................ These will help really focus on the right solution that best suits you. After-all, an office of ten obviously needs a very different solution to a factory of 500!

Let’s start by taking a look at our highest capacity drink vending machine: the KLIX Outlook. With one touch operation and KLIX in-cup technology, the low-maintenance Outlook delivers a wide selection of Britain’s best loved hot and cold drinks brands, with no waiting and zero mess. You can choose the menu on offer, how the vending machine looks, and even whether or not and how your employees pay for their drinks. Designed with 250 plus employees in mind, the user-friendly Outlook offers reliability and great tasting drinks time after time.

If you are looking for something a little smaller, than the KLIX 450 is the perfect solution for you. At Mars Drinks we think that this machine perfectly illustrates the saying “Small is Powerful”. It’s efficient, compact and perfectly formed, in fact it has been specifically designed to cater for the small to medium sized work-place. Delivering 400 cups from an eight drink selection, you still get to choose the menu from best-loved brands. As with all our products, the joy of this machine is how easy-peasy it is: both to operate, clean and maintain. Its simple set-up, one-touch operation and super-quick, mess-free drinks delivery will ensure that it is a valued member of the team from day one!

For companies who are a little smaller or want to make the right impression on any visitors from the moment they walk through the door, our FLAVIA drink stations might be just the thing. Small, sleek and tasty the Flavia Creation 400 will create a stir with clients and employees alike.

Its unique system brews direct and pure from pack to cup – put simply, each drink tastes fresh and fantastic, and a million times better than the kettle. Its modern, ergonomic good-looks suggest style and class from the off. And those using it will be bowled over by the range of drinks available – in fact they can even select the strength and size of their chosen drink. It froths, whips, mixes and blends – all ensuring a coffee-shop experience in the office. We think that this is pretty close to perfection – and we know that you’ll think the same thing too!

Many companies find that a combination of these drink vending machine models works best. Combining KLIX drink systems with FLAVIA drink stations can ensure that just the right balance is achieved in order to provide volume drinks delivery for a large work-force and plus those all-important chic first-impressions. And don’t forget – KLIX and FLAVIA deliver fresh, great tasting drinks time after time.
