Touchscreen earning its keep
The 24-inch HD screen is genuinely useful: rich menu, promotional content rotation, accessibility options, and language switching for public-site multi-user contexts where smaller displays would feel undersold.
Touchscreen Hot Drinks Vending Machine
Necta Gusto 8PRO

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 Gusto 8PRO (formerly known as the Necta Maestro) is the floor-standing hot drinks tower from Necta, the vending arm of EVOCA Group (formerly N&W Global Vending). Necta is one of the largest vending manufacturers in Europe, and the Gusto 8PRO is their answer to sites that want premium hot beverages in a high-volume unattended context. The Gusto 8PRO Touch variant runs a 24-inch HD touchscreen with sound, designed to drive both menu choice and visual merchandising: promotional content, branded loops, and accessibility options that smaller displays cannot accommodate.
Drink technology splits across three configurations. Gusto 8PRO E (Espresso) is bean-to-cup with fresh-ground espresso and a milk system. Gusto 8PRO S (Soluble) uses powdered ingredients for coffee, decaf, chocolate, and speciality powders, with broader menu breadth and lower running costs. Gusto 8PRO ESFB combines all three: espresso, soluble, and Fresh Brew tea or filter coffee from leaf and ground product. The 12oz cup capability is unusual at this segment and important for sites whose users expect takeaway-format drinks rather than the smaller cup sizes most office machines top out at.
The Gusto 8PRO is engineered to bank with the Orchestra (snacks and cold drinks) and Gusto Drum (fresh food) units, sharing styling, payment systems, and service architecture so a multi-machine site looks coherent rather than improvised. For hospitals, university campuses, transport hubs, and large workplace amenity floors that want a drinks-and-food vending bank rather than separate single machines, the Gusto 8PRO is typically the centrepiece. We recommend it specifically when the touchscreen is doing real work (promotion, accessibility, language switching) and where the 12oz takeaway cup format matches user expectations.
In practice
Why this works for workplace teams
12oz takeaway cup format
Most office hot drinks machines top out around 8oz. The Gusto 8PRO handles 12oz, which matches user expectations at transport hubs, hospitals, and university sites where takeaway-format drinks are the norm.
Built to bank
Gusto 8PRO pairs visually and operationally with Orchestra and Gusto Drum in a single vending bank. Shared payment, styling, and service architecture means multi-machine sites look coherent rather than improvised.

Explore this productCommon Necta Gusto 8PRO questions
Answers to what we're most often asked when scoping a rollout.
Gusto 8PRO E is bean-to-cup espresso with milk. Gusto 8PRO S is soluble (powdered) drinks for broader menu breadth and lower running cost. Gusto 8PRO ESFB combines espresso, soluble, and Fresh Brew (tea and filter coffee from loose product). For most public-facing sites we install ESFB because it covers the full user expectation set; offices with a clear preference go E or S to optimise running cost.
These three units are designed as a coherent vending bank: shared styling, shared cashless payment terminal, shared service architecture. 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 you 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 touchscreens. The Coti has a 21-inch touchscreen and 800-cup refill cycle, focused on hotel public spaces and large workplace amenity. The Gusto 8PRO has a 24-inch HD touchscreen with sound, 12oz cup capability, and is engineered to pair with the Orchestra and Gusto Drum vending units. Pick the Gusto 8PRO when you're standing up a multi-machine vending bank; pick the Coti when it's a standalone hot drinks point with strong office or hotel branding.
Yes, in practice. Most office and many vending hot drinks machines max out around 8oz. The Gusto 8PRO handles up to 12oz, which is the format users expect at airports, hospitals, and university campuses. Smaller cups feel undersized for those contexts. For sites whose users will see this machine alongside a high-street coffee shop, 12oz capability is meaningful.
Yes, MDB-compatible from the factory. We can spec contactless card readers, mobile wallet support, employee badge integration, and on-screen QR for app-based payment. For unattended public sites this is typically specced on day one. The same payment terminal can serve a banked Orchestra and Gusto Drum, which keeps the user flow consistent across a multi-machine point.
The Gusto 8PRO is sized for high-traffic sites: hospitals, universities, transport hubs, and large workplace amenity floors. It is over-spec for typical office break rooms (under 100 staff), where a Coffetek Vitro X1 or Crane Cali is usually the better fit. Where the Gusto 8PRO earns its keep is volume, takeaway-cup format, and the multi-machine banking pattern.
