Table-Top Touchscreen Bean-to-Cup Coffee Machine

Coffetek Vitro Series 3

Coffetek's newest table-top bean-to-cup machine, known in the trade as the Vitro S3: 13-inch touchscreen, two boilers, 9-bar espresso and up to 250 cups a day, in Espresso and MAX sizes with double bean and fresh leaf tea options.

Ideal Space

  • Offices
  • Hotels
  • Staff Restaurants
  • Self-Serve
  • Hospitality

Advisory first

Best for busy offices, hotel breakfast rooms, staff restaurants and self-serve sites serving up to 250 cups a day, typically 80 to 150 staff, that want touchscreen ordering on a counter rather than a floor-standing tower.

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.

In practice

Why this works for workplace teams

Tower output on a counter

Two boilers and the variable brewing group let a table-top machine keep pouring through a break-time queue that would stall a single-boiler compact. For a site that has outgrown its first bean-to-cup but has nowhere to stand a tower, that is the whole point.

Configured to the site, not the catalogue

Espresso or MAX size, single or double bean, with or without the fresh leaf tea brewer. We choose the combination at the survey based on cups a day, how far the machine is from whoever refills it, and whether tea is an afterthought or half the demand.

Ordering people do not need explaining

A picture menu on a 13-inch screen means a new starter or a hotel guest gets the drink they wanted first time, and the screen earns its keep between drinks with a welcome message or promotion. Remote management means the menu can change without a visit.

Common Coffetek Vitro Series 3 questions

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

In practice, yes. 'Vitro S3' is the shorthand the UK trade uses for the Series 3, and if you have been quoted for an S3 with a 13-inch touchscreen and bean-to-cup espresso, this is the machine. Coffetek did also make an older Vitro S3 with a ten-button panel and soluble drinks. That is a different, older machine and not the one on this page.

Storage. Both have the same touchscreen, boilers, grinder and brewing group, and the same 444mm width. The MAX has a taller cabinet (953mm against 803mm) holding a 3.4kg bean hopper and three 4.0 litre canisters, against 1.2kg and 2.0 litres on the Espresso. Pick the MAX where the machine is a long way from whoever refills it, or where 250 cups a day is a normal day rather than a peak.

No. The Vitro X1 is still current and we still supply it. The X1 is the compact choice, 337mm wide and 42kg, sized for 50 to 100 staff, and its MIA versions handle fresh milk. The Series 3 is bigger, 444mm wide and around 70kg, and built for more cups a day, with the touchscreen, two boilers and the tea option. Choose by volume and by milk: fresh milk in a small footprint is the X1 MIA; a busier site or touchscreen ordering is the Series 3.

No. Milk drinks on the Series 3 are made with powdered milk from a 2.0 litre canister (4.0 litres on the MAX), which is what lets it run unattended for days. If fresh milk matters to you, the Vitro X1 MIA does it in a compact footprint and the fresh-milk options on our Vitro X5 page do it in a floor-standing machine.

A dedicated tea brewer infuses loose leaf tea at the right temperature and pours in about 20 seconds, so it is proper brewed tea rather than a tea bag and hot water. It can be added to either the Espresso or the MAX. For hotels, canteens and any office where half the queue wants tea, it is usually worth specifying from day one.

Coffetek rates it at up to 250 cups a day, which in an office is typically 80 to 150 staff. Below that, the Vitro X1 or S1 is usually the better fit and costs less. Above it, or where several machines need to bank together, we would look at the floor-standing Vitro X4, Vitro X5 or Crane Cali 2. Peak-time demand and tea demand shift the answer, which is why we survey before recommending.

A plumbed cold mains connection and a standard 13-amp socket (230V, 2,000W maximum). A counter or bench that takes 444mm width, 540mm depth and around 70kg, with clearance above for the hoppers and the lid. Standard install is 2 to 3 weeks once specified and ordered. We install, commission and walk your team through it on day one.

Yes, where drinks are charged for, a card and contactless reader can be specified at install, as with the rest of the Vitro range. Most office sites run it free-vend; hotels, canteens and self-serve sites are where payment usually gets added.
