  • Comparing Bean-to-Cup Machines With Built-In Payment Systems

    Bean-to-cup coffee machines with built-in payment systems fall into two categories: factory-integrated and retrofit. Factory-integrated machines from Coffetek, Franke, and WMF include contactless card readers or RFID token systems as part of the original design, carrying a single warranty and unified service support. Retrofit devices such as Nayax contactless readers can be added to compatible existing machines via MDB protocol for £250 to £500. Cashless customers spend 100 percent more per transaction than coin users. Coffee Seller supplies payment-ready bean-to-cup machines across the UK with leasing and installation included.
