The Coffetek Vitro Series 3 is the newest machine in the Vitro range, launched in the UK for 2025, and it is the one most people now mean when they say 'Vitro S3'. It keeps the Vitro look, black glass and a clean front, and rebuilds what sits behind it: a 13-inch touchscreen in place of a button panel, a second high-capacity boiler so the machine can pour continuously through a rush, and Coffetek's AzkV30 variable brewing group, which doses from 7 to 14g so a short espresso and a large americano each get the right amount of coffee. Every drink is extracted at 9 bar. Coffetek rates it at up to 250 cups a day, which puts it a clear step above the compact Vitro X1 without needing the floor space of a tower.
There are two sizes and two options, and the machine is configured to the site rather than sold as one fixed spec. The Series 3 Espresso stands 803mm tall with a 1.2kg bean hopper and three 2.0 litre canisters for decaf, powdered milk and chocolate. The Series 3 MAX is the same machine with a taller cabinet (953mm) and roughly three times the storage: a 3.4kg hopper and three 4.0 litre canisters, for sites that want to refill less often. Both are 444mm wide, 540mm deep and around 70kg. On either size you can add a double bean option, two hoppers for regular and decaf or two blends, and a fresh leaf tea brewer that infuses loose leaf tea at the right temperature in about 20 seconds. We settle the size and options at the survey.
The touchscreen is the visible change. It shows the drinks as pictures, lets people adjust strength and size, and carries promotional content or a welcome screen when nobody is ordering. Selections are not capped by a row of buttons, so a site can run a full menu without hiding drinks behind sub-menus. The machine is connected: Coffetek's Nebular platform and Vendon telemetry let recipes, prices and settings be updated remotely and flag low product or a fault before anyone on site notices. RGB lighting around the dispense area is configurable, and the second boiler is set up for jug fills, so a meeting room can be served from a single machine.
Where it fits: the Vitro X1 remains the compact choice at 337mm wide and 42kg, and its MIA versions are the ones to pick for fresh milk. The Series 3 is the step up when a site outgrows that, wants tea brewed properly, or wants touchscreen ordering, but a floor-standing Vitro X4 or Crane Cali 2 would be too much machine for the space. Milk drinks on the Series 3 use powdered milk. Power is 230V at 2,000W maximum, so a standard 13-amp socket, with a plumbed cold mains connection. It is available on rental, fully managed or to buy, and standard install is 2 to 3 weeks once specified.
