Installation required for mains fed. Installation can be acquired directly from us here at CoffeeVends, and training on machine use will be included to ensure proper operation of the machine.

Please note that the installation site must be prepared prior to installation, such as correct electrical outlet, mains water connection and waste provision as well as a hole in the counter.
