As businesses continue to place greater emphasis on employee experience, workplace coffee has become about much more than providing a quick caffeine fix.
For busy workplaces, having convenient access to high-quality hot drinks can support better breaks, encourage social interaction and give employees a simple way to recharge throughout the working day.
That is why the Coti 2 and Cali 2 hot drinks vending machines represents a significant step forward for workplace refreshments.
Businesses thrive when the people within them thrive. That’s a fact. And our goal at Coinadrink Limited is to cultivate that dynamism by giving those hardworking people, those titans of industry, a refreshment and vending machine service that never falls short of perfection.
Clocking in and starting your shift should align with the knowledge that your lunch, or breaktime snack, or hearty cup of coffee is guaranteed when you need it. After all, we’ve all had that moment of forgetting to bring something for the long work day, and debating the supermarket trip at lunch.
With a fully-managed vending service from Coinadrink, those situations are a thing of the past, with fresh food, cold drinks, coffee and more at your fingertips all throughout the working day. Here’s some benefits of our service that’ll turn your workplace into a hub of refreshment.
Ask most people what comes to mind when they hear the word vending and the answer is probably fairly predictable.
A machine in a workplace, shopping centre or leisure centre. A packet of crisps. A chocolate bar. Perhaps a can of fizzy drink.
But that image of vending is increasingly out of date.
The UK vending, coffee services and automated retail industry generated £3.78 billion in revenue during 2025, according to the latest Census & Market Report from the Vending & Automated Retail Association (AVA).
That’s a 3.3% increase on the previous year and puts the sector around 5% above its pre-pandemic level.
So, if vending is supposedly just snacks and drinks, how has it become a multi-billion-pound industry?
The answer is simple: vending has changed.
We’re over half way into the calendar year, a couple of months into the fiscal year, and right in the heart of summer. If you currently have a vending service on site, now is a great time to evaluate your solution and ask yourself: are we truly getting the best service possible?
Maybe you decide that better value for money lies elsewhere, especially if you’re often left frustrated with half-empty vending machines, frequent breakdowns and annoyed employees.
We’re incredibly proud to share that we’ve been named Best Overall Operator at The Vendies Awards 2026!
The awards took place at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London on Wednesday 3rd June, bringing together the very best of the UK vending and workplace refreshment industry. Our Managing Director Tom Williams attended on the day with his partner, alongside our Credit Controller Dani Pereira, to represent the business.
No canteen or refreshment setup on site? Here’s why a fully managed vending service is the ultimate workplace refreshment solution to keep your team fuelled and satisfied without the drama.
When you need chilled, filtered water on demand, Coinadrink’s bottled water cooler service offers a reliable and convenient solution. Supplying your business or workspace with a bottled water cooler is an efficient alternative to relying on a mains-fed water supply, giving you flexible access to fresh drinking water wherever it’s needed.
We don’t need to tell you how hot it’s been lately, with the heatwave of May ’26 leaving most people in the country sweltering, sweating, and gasping for something refreshing. We’re biased as providers of water cooler services, but we’re confident in saying that it’s pivotal in a situation like this to keep hydrated as often as you can, to keep yourself cool and reduce the heightened risk of dehydration.
And something that’s popular at all times of the year is the gym, with regular members striving to meet their fitness goals no matter how hot it gets outside. When your members step through the doors of your gym, they’re arriving with a mindset of improving health and wellbeing, and they rely on your facility to provide the best environment for that.
As businesses across the manufacturing sector continue to prioritise employee wellbeing in 2026, refreshment facilities are playing a more important role than ever. For busy production environments, providing convenient, high-quality food and drink isn’t just about keeping people fuelled, it’s about supporting morale, productivity, and overall workplace satisfaction.
For PP Control & Automation, a leading outsourcing specialist in the electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic engineering sectors based in Cheslyn Hay, Staffordshire, investing in modern factory vending machines has been a key part of delivering on their people-first culture.
Picture this. You’re settled in for a day of work, you’re at your desk, and you get thirsty. You go to the kitchen or breakroom, take out a glass and fill it up with water from the tap. But maybe there’s an odd taste, or smell, or even feel within the mouth.
Suddenly, quenching thirst no longer feels satisfying.
At Coinadrink, our mission is to prevent that nightmare scenario from ever happening, transforming the bare minimum of hydration into a premium workplace benefit that members of staff can actually look forward to.
Here’s why we’re flushing the idea of drinking just tap water in 2026 and transitioning to the refreshing simplicity of a water cooler.
