Self-Serve Coffee Station for Retail

Crane Coti 2 Tower

A self-serve coffee-to-go station for retail outlets and 24-hour sites: the Crane Coti 2 with a 27-inch touchscreen, built-in cup, stirrer and sugar station, and connected promotions and loyalty.

Ideal Space

  • Retail Outlets
  • Forecourts
  • Hospitals
  • Transport Hubs
  • 24/7 Operations

Advisory first

Best for retail outlets, forecourts, hospitals, transport hubs and other 24-hour areas that want a coffee-to-go offer without staffing it, where the machine needs to look like a destination and look after its own cups and condiments.

The Crane Coti 2 Tower is the retail member of Crane's new Coti 2 range, launched in the UK in August 2026. It takes the Coti 2 drinks platform and builds a coffee-to-go station around it: a taller, wider cabinet with an illuminated header and an integrated station for cups, stirrers and sugar, so the customer has everything in one place and nobody has to set up or tidy a separate condiment area. It is designed for retail outlets and 24-hour sites where coffee is sold, not just supplied.

The drinks are the same as the Coti 2: bean-to-cup espresso from Crane's Co-Ex brewer, fresh-leaf tea through the dedicated Oltre tea brewer, and hot chocolate, ordered on a 27-inch portrait HD touchscreen. A bean-to-cup drink takes about 39 seconds. Cup capacity runs to 630 at 7oz, 570 at 9oz or 420 at 12oz, with 3.5kg of beans, 2.5kg of milk and up to 5.8kg of chocolate on board, which is what lets an unattended site trade through the night.

It is a connected machine. Menus, prices and screen content are managed remotely over built-in 4G, and the Tower carries the retail functions of the range: promotions, loyalty and media on the screen. For a retailer that turns the machine from a cost into a small trading unit, with pricing that can change by time of day and offers that can be switched on across every site at once.

The Tower stands 2116mm tall, 785mm wide and 833mm deep, so it needs more headroom and a little more width than the standard Coti 2. Power is a standard 13-amp 230V supply with a plumbed cold mains connection. We recommend it where coffee-to-go is a revenue line and the site is open when staff are not around: forecourts and convenience retail, hospital concourses, transport hubs, and large 24-hour workplaces. For a typical office or hotel, the standard Coti 2 or the Cali 2 is the better fit.

In practice

Why this works for workplace teams

A coffee offer with no counter to staff

Cups, stirrers and sugar are built into the machine, so there is no separate condiment station to set up, restock or keep tidy. The customer orders, collects and leaves. That is what makes coffee-to-go workable at a site that is open all night.

Priced and promoted like retail

Prices, promotions and loyalty are managed remotely, so an offer can run across every site at once or change by time of day. The screen carries the marketing when nobody is ordering.

The same drinks as the Coti 2

The Tower is the Coti 2 platform in a retail cabinet: the same bean-to-cup espresso, the same fresh-leaf tea brewer, the same capacities. If you already know the Coti, you know what is in the cup.

Common Crane Coti 2 Tower questions

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

Same drinks, different cabinet and purpose. The Tower is taller and wider (2116mm by 785mm, against 1830mm by 700mm), has an illuminated header, and builds a station for cups, stirrers and sugar into the machine. It is aimed at retail outlets and 24-hour areas where coffee is being sold to the public. The standard Coti 2 suits offices, hotels and workplaces.

Anywhere coffee-to-go is worth selling and the site is open when staff are not around: convenience retail and forecourts, hospital concourses, transport hubs, and large 24-hour workplaces such as depots and distribution centres. It also works as the hot drinks element of an unattended retail space or micro market.

2116mm of height, 785mm of width and 833mm of depth, plus room for the door to open for refilling and servicing. It needs a plumbed cold mains water connection and a standard 13-amp 230V supply. The extra height over a normal vending machine is the thing to check first, particularly under bulkheads and signage.

Yes. It is a connected machine with built-in 4G. Menus, prices and screen content can be managed remotely, with promotions and loyalty available, so an offer can be rolled out across every site at once rather than machine by machine.

Standard install timelines are 2 to 3 weeks once specified and ordered. Service includes quarterly preventative maintenance covering descale, grinder calibration and wear-part replacement, with refills planned around how busy the site is.
