Scanomat UK has burst on to the scene in Britain with two major launches in the company's Venezia range of hot beverage machines.

The machines brew any type of coffee from espresso through to latte and cappuccino, in addition to hot chocolate hot water for tea. First off is the Scanomat Venezia Bean to Cup hybrid coffee machine which offers fresh ground coffee, backed up with a soluble option.

Scanomat B2Ci has a modular brew unit that can be removed in seconds for cleaning and maintenance. Operators can choose either one or two grinders and up to four soluble canisters. It produces six cups in 20 seconds, five cups of instant coffee and one ground coffee. Water is drawn from the built-in 5-ltr water tank and heated on demand.

The brewer can be adjusted to any cup size and automatically regulates the quantity of product required. The second newcomer is the Scanomat Venezia instant coffee machine with its option of a fresh milk system that can be installed under or over the counter.

It provides high volume freshly brewed drinks in any of a cup, mug or flask, uses less energy heating water and can be programmed to revert to standby when not in use.
