Project Background
Targeting the characteristics of high foot traffic and robust demand for leisure consumption in the commercial districts of the Philippines, the JK86 Fully Automatic Freshly Ground Iced Coffee Vending Machine has entered this market with the core positioning of "High-Efficiency Dispensing + Diversified Payment + 24/7 Operation". Leveraging its powerful ice-making and freshly ground coffee capabilities, the machine is well-adapted to the strong demand for cold drinks in tropical regions, while meeting local consumers’ expectations for convenient, high-quality beverages. It has emerged as one of the smart terminals that enhance service amenities and attract customer flow in commercial districts.
Equipment Configuration Advantages
The machine is equipped with a professional-grade Ditting coffee grinder and a large 6-liter bean hopper, supporting the continuous production of premium freshly ground coffee. It features a 27-inch high-definition touch screen and a diversified payment system (supporting QR code scanning, banknote, coin, change dispensing, and card payment), which aligns with the local payment habits in the Philippines where cash and electronic payments coexist. Built-in dual peristaltic pumps and 5 pieces of 4-liter ingredient tanks enable a wide selection of beverages, including coffee, milk tea, and hot chocolate. The machine integrates automatic cup-dropping (compatible with 320 pieces of 14oz single-layer cups / 210 pieces of 14oz corn-based cups / 160 pieces of 16oz corn-based cups), automatic cup sealing, rail-driven cup dispensing, and electromagnetic door control, realizing fully automated and high-efficiency beverage production throughout the process. Notably, it is fitted with a large-capacity ice-making system with a 2–80 kg ice storage capacity, effectively catering to the surging demand for cold drinks in high-temperature environments. A side visual window displays the entire beverage preparation process, enhancing the transparency and fun of the consumption experience.
Operation & Management Highlights
The equipment supports 4G and WiFi connectivity. Its backend system enables remote monitoring, real-time access to sales data, raw material shortage alerts, fault notifications, and membership marketing management, facilitating efficient operation of multiple devices by operators. The fully automated workflow and modular design reduce the difficulty of daily maintenance, making the machine suitable for the high-intensity, long-hour operational environment of commercial districts.
Operational Data Performance
In field tests conducted in Philippine commercial districts, the JK86 has achieved a stable daily sales volume of 40–60 cups, with cold drinks accounting for over 70% of total sales during hot seasons. The production time per cup is controlled within 50 seconds, effectively minimizing customer waiting time. Under the agent cooperation model, the comprehensive cost per cup is approximately 8 Philippine pesos. Combined with a reasonable pricing strategy, the machine delivers rapid return on investment.
User Feedback
Local consumers generally comment that the machine is "easy to operate, fast in cup dispensing, and rich in cold drink options", and the visualized preparation process has strengthened their trust in the product. Management of commercial districts states that the equipment not only enriches the types of services available in the district, but its 24/7 self-service operation mode has also boosted the overall commercial vitality, making it a highlight facility that attracts young customer groups and enhances the tourist experience.
