confectionary vending machine supplies

We all think about snacks at some point, now even more so on the back of National Snack Day last Sunday. Whatever your guilty pleasure is, Coinadrink have always made them easily accessible through our practical range of snack machines, and we’ve extended the options with the arrival of our Micro Market back in 2013. We understand the importance of workplace refreshments and have done throughout our entire history, and our snack machines are a great option for a mid-morning treat or part of your lunch time meal.

The importance of mental wellbeing in the workplace.

The importance of wellbeing in the workplace.

It’s a worrying reality that many of us continue to only associate physical symptoms with our health. If we’re suffering with a bug, flu or even a headache, we know something isn’t quite right, but the topic of mental health isn’t quite as clear. While it’s fantastic to see that the stigma behind mental health is slowly lifting, some people still find it hard to talk about their feelings. As an employer or Facilities Manager, there are things that you can do to help the cause. It’s important to create a positive workforce where your staff feel happy and comfortable.

Think hydration doesn’t matter in the winter? Think again!

Are you staying hydrated this winter?

It’s been one of the worst winters in recent memory. Many mornings have begun with extremely cold starts, and we’ve often had to make the journey into work through snow, ice, wind and rain. It’s only natural, then, to crave a hot drink when we finally do get into the office. Very little else can motivate you in the same way a hot drink can, but as the colder weather looks set to continue for a little while longer, we’re asking you not to forget your water cooler either. Many people disregard the topic of hydration all too easily in the winter, and this is dangerous.

Isn’t it about time your business disregarded the kettle?

Isn't it time you updated the kettle to a more advanced solution?

One of the common reasons we hear as to why people don’t have a vending machine in their business is because they prefer to make their own drinks. We might be a little biased here, but that’s something that frustrates us. Having had over 55 years’ experience as a company, we have witnessed the advancement of the vending industry first hand and the benefits of vending are simply enormous. Isn’t it about time you disregarded your kettle for something that’s a little more up to date?

The vending machine with a heart for the homeless.

The vending machine that aims to eradicate homelessness.

Throughout our history, we have seen vending progress to admirable lengths. Never more so, however, than when the world’s first vending machine was created for homeless people. Installed in Nottingham last month, the machine dispenses key items such as water, fresh fruit, soap, toothpaste and books. Whilst the technology behind it isn’t anything revolutionary, it’s the generosity behind the idea that has sparked attention. The Guardian are just one of the institutions to report on the hot topic…

All the weird and wonderful vending machines to grace our planet – continued.

Here's some more of the weird and wonderful vending machines...

Back in October, we published some of the craziest vending machines that could be found somewhere around the world. Live lobster made the list, and there was also a beer vending machine if you preferred to serve yourself rather than queue at the bar (this one can be found in Hackney, UK, if you’re interested!) On the back of the recent news that the first vending machine for homeless people has just been released in Nottingham, we’re keen to share more weird and wonderful vending machines that we’ve recently found…

It’s National Sandwich Day, so celebrate the love of the great British food!

On National Sandwich Day, what is your favourite?

Today is National Sandwich Day, a day to recognise one of the most popular lunch time choices not just in Britain, but all over the world. Sure, our Nation certainly takes the credit for such an invention, but it’s testament to how good the sandwich is to see its popularity now extend much, much further. We all have our individual favourite, but it’s important to understand that the sandwich, and the likes of Subway to go with it, wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for a certain gentleman known as John Montagu…

All the weird and wonderful vending machines to grace our planet!

Vending that's weird and wonderful!

From when the first vending machine appeared in the 1880’s, they have come an extremely long way. Hot drinks machines now dispense coffee shop quality, and fresh food and snack machines deliver big brands in a pinch of the time. The evolution of vending has also extended to strange and quirky options though, many of which you can actually envisage a purpose for. Some are a bit pointless, yes, but they add to the fun! Take a look below for some of the best ones we have found…

Do you know what goes into your favourite coffee?

What's in your favourite coffee?

Our favourite coffee is as unique to us as our fingerprint. Maybe it’s a Café Latte with two sugars, an Espresso with a double shot, or perhaps you enjoy a Mocha instead. While many of us know what we want at the hot drinks machine, though, how many of you know exactly what goes into your chosen variety? As we slowly work our way into the week, settle back, and let us teach you all about those key ingredients. We’ll give you a taster: Espresso is apparent in every one!
