Iced & Hot pegaso | A self-service, freshly ground coffee shop suitable for all seasons

Hot and cold freshly ground coffee machines are readily available – always within reach. With the increasing popularity of coffee consumption, consumers now have extremely high demands for coffee.

They need a cup of freshly ground coffee that tastes great (hot coffee should be warm, iced coffee should be chilled), and offers excellent value for money. Furthermore, they require that the purchase location not be too far away (no more than 30 meters), that the flavor can be selected (choosing coffee strength and sugar ratio), and that the operation be user-friendly and quick to dispense.

Small Investment, Big Returns – Your Own Unmanned Coffee Shop For operators, when deploying a coffee machine, the initial investment in the equipment must not be too high (robot coffee machines are

too expensive and primarily a gimmick, so they are excluded). The requirements are: the self-service coffee machine should generate automatic revenue daily, be easy to maintain, require no human intervention, provide consistently high-quality coffee, and ensure stable long-term income.

Unmanned self-service coffee machines are easy to implement, especially in summer and winter, offering quick dispensing of iced and hot coffee to meet customer needs.

They require minimal investment and are easy to maintain. They quickly spread through word-of-mouth in the deployment area, resulting in a high and stable long-term return on investment.

Currently, the unmanned self-service coffee business is experiencing stable growth and its scope is expanding to diverse scenarios, making it particularly suitable for: schools, public service areas,

enterprises and institutions, multi-group factory areas, urban attractions, libraries, etc.

ipilot's Ice Coffee PLUS made a stunning debut at HOTELEX 2025 Shanghai, immediately becoming the centerpiece of the exhibition, with numerous potential customers inquiring and placing orders.

Based on comprehensive end-user surveys, university libraries, laboratory buildings, and dormitories have a very urgent need for self-service coffee. Government agencies, government departments, hospitals, and approval centers—areas with high foot traffic—are also experiencing a surge in demand for self-service coffee. Urban scenic spots and public facilities need self-service coffee projects to improve the overall level of urban services. Currently, the application locations of unmanned self-service coffee machines are becoming increasingly diversified, especially given the demand for timely and delicious hot and cold coffee.
