Touchscreen Hot Drinks Vending Machine

Necta Barista 1000 Touch

Floor-standing Necta hot drinks vending machine (formerly the Maestro Touch) with a 24-inch Full HD touchscreen, fresh bean espresso and instant drinks, 9oz or 12oz cups, and an optional fresh leaf tea brewer.

Ideal Space

  • Hospitals
  • Universities
  • Transport Hubs
  • Large Workplaces
  • Public Facilities

Advisory first

Best for high-traffic public sites, hospitals, universities, transport hubs and large workplaces where the touchscreen drives a rich menu and the machine is built to pair with snack and food units in a single bank.

The Necta Barista 1000 Touch (formerly the Necta Maestro Touch) is the floor-standing hot drinks tower from Necta, the vending brand of EVOCA Group. Necta is one of the largest vending manufacturers in Europe, and the Barista 1000 is its answer to sites that want premium hot drinks in a high-volume unattended setting. The 24-inch Full HD touchscreen, with built-in speakers, does real work: a full drinks menu, drink personalisation, promotional content, complete nutritional information, and filters for decaf, gluten-free and organic options.

Every Barista 1000 brews espresso from fresh beans through Necta's Z4000 brewer and pairs it with instant ingredients for chocolate, milk drinks and speciality recipes, with up to nine ingredient canisters and two boilers behind the door. The machine is configured to the site rather than sold as one fixed spec. Choose 9oz cups or the larger 12oz takeaway format, add a fresh leaf tea brewer where tea matters, and specify twin bean hoppers where you want two coffee blends on offer. Cup capacity runs from 650 to 1,000 depending on configuration. We settle all of this at the survey, based on who will be using the machine and how busy it gets.

The Barista 1000 Touch is designed to stand in a bank with the Necta Gusto 8 Pro Touch (snacks and cold drinks) and the Gusto Drum (fresh food), sharing the same black anodised aluminium styling so a multi-machine site looks planned rather than improvised. For hospitals, university campuses, transport hubs and large workplace amenity floors that want drinks and food vending in one place, the Barista 1000 is typically the centrepiece. We recommend it when the touchscreen is doing real work. For a typical office break room, a smaller machine is usually the better fit.

In practice

Why this works for workplace teams

Touchscreen earning its keep

The 24-inch Full HD screen is genuinely useful: a rich menu, drink personalisation, promotional content, nutritional information and dietary filters, in public and multi-user settings where a small display would feel undersold.

Set up around your site

9oz cups or the larger 12oz takeaway format, with or without a fresh leaf tea brewer, one bean hopper or two. The machine is specified to the people using it, not the other way round, and we settle the configuration at the survey.

Built to bank

The Barista 1000 pairs visually and operationally with the Gusto 8 Pro Touch and the Gusto Drum in a single vending bank. Matching styling and a consistent payment experience mean a multi-machine site looks coherent rather than improvised.

Common Necta Barista 1000 Touch questions

Answers to what we're most often asked when scoping a rollout.

It is set up around the site rather than sold as one fixed spec. Every version brews fresh bean espresso and adds instant drinks such as chocolate and milk-based recipes. From there we choose 9oz or 12oz cups, add a fresh leaf tea brewer where tea matters, and specify twin bean hoppers where you want two coffee blends on offer. We settle the configuration at the survey, based on who will use the machine and how busy it gets.

Yes. Necta renamed the Maestro as the Barista 1000, and the Maestro Touch as the Barista 1000 Touch. It is the same floor-standing hot drinks machine with the same Z4000 espresso brewer. If you have been quoted for a Maestro, or have one on site, this is its current name.

9oz or 12oz, chosen when the machine is specified. The 12oz option is the larger takeaway format that people expect at airports, hospitals and university campuses, and it is one of the reasons this machine suits public sites. We will recommend one at the survey.

The three units are designed as a coherent vending bank with matching styling. For hospitals, transport hubs and large workplaces that want hot drinks plus snacks plus fresh food at a single location, banking three Necta units gives a unified look and feel rather than three machines from different brands sitting next to each other.

Both are floor-standing high-volume hot drinks towers with large touchscreens. Pick the Barista 1000 Touch when you are standing up a multi-machine vending bank alongside Necta snack and food units. Pick the Coti 2 when it is a standalone hot drinks point with strong office or hotel branding.

Yes, MDB-compatible from the factory. We can spec contactless card readers, mobile wallet support and employee badge integration. For unattended public sites this is typically specified on day one, and the same approach carries across a banked Gusto 8 Pro Touch and Gusto Drum, which keeps the experience consistent for users.

It is sized for high-traffic sites: hospitals, universities, transport hubs and large workplace amenity floors. It is over-spec for a typical office break room of under 100 staff, where a compact bean to cup machine is usually the better fit. Where the Barista 1000 earns its keep is volume, the takeaway cup format and the multi-machine banking pattern.
