You’re already running late, and the last thing you need is standing in line for fifteen minutes watching someone fumble with your order. Our self-serving coffee machines change that completely.
Walk in, select your drink, and walk out with exactly what you want in under a minute. No miscommunication, no waiting behind six other people, no wondering if today’s coffee will taste different because someone new is working.
The machines use fresh beans and advanced brewing technology to deliver the same quality every single time. Whether you need a quick americano before catching the train or want to customize a latte with oat milk and an extra shot, you’re in control of your coffee experience.
We understand Elmhurst. We know you’re part of a vibrant, diverse community where nearly 40% of households don’t own cars and most people rely on public transit for their daily commute.
We’ve designed our space around that reality. Quick service for commuters heading to the train, comfortable seating for those who want to stay, and quality coffee that doesn’t require a staff member to be present.
This isn’t about replacing human connection—it’s about giving you reliable access to great coffee when you need it, how you need it. Our self-serving approach means fresh coffee is available consistently, whether it’s 7 AM or 7 PM.
The process couldn’t be more straightforward. Walk up to one of our self-serving coffee machines and browse the touchscreen menu. Select your drink—from classic drip coffee to specialty lattes and cappuccinos.
Choose your customizations: milk type, strength, size, and any flavor additions. The machine grinds fresh beans, doses the exact amount needed, and extracts your coffee using precise temperature and pressure controls.
For milk-based drinks, the system automatically textures and steams the milk to the perfect consistency, then combines everything into your cup. The entire process takes 10 to 45 seconds depending on your selection. You pay through the touchscreen using contactless payment, grab your drink, and you’re done.

Our self-serving coffee machines offer the full range of coffeehouse drinks you expect: espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte, flat white, and more. Each machine uses bean-to-cup technology, grinding fresh coffee for every single cup.

Located in one of New York’s most walkable neighborhoods, we’re positioned perfectly for Elmhurst’s commuter-heavy lifestyle. With extended hours and no dependency on staff availability, you can count on consistent service whether you’re grabbing coffee before work or need an afternoon pick-me-up. The technology handles the precision—you get the convenience and quality without the typical coffee shop hassles.
Our machines use advanced bean-to-cup technology that grinds fresh coffee beans for every single cup. The system controls water temperature, pressure, and extraction time with precision that’s actually more consistent than manual preparation.
Each machine doses the exact amount of coffee needed and uses automatic milk frothing systems for perfect texture every time. The brewing process is calibrated to deliver café-quality results without the variability that comes with different staff members preparing drinks.
You’re getting the same high-quality extraction and milk steaming that you’d expect from a skilled barista, but with the consistency that only automated precision can provide.
Absolutely. The touchscreen interface gives you complete control over your drink customization. You can adjust coffee strength, choose from multiple milk options including oat, almond, and soy alternatives, select your preferred size, and add flavor syrups.
The system lets you modify virtually every aspect of your drink—from extra shots of espresso to specific milk-to-coffee ratios. You can even save your favorite combinations for faster ordering on return visits.
This level of customization actually exceeds what most traditional coffee shops offer during busy periods, since you have time to explore options without feeling rushed or holding up a line.
Our self-serving coffee machines operate during extended hours since they don’t require constant staff supervision. This means you can get fresh, quality coffee early in the morning before most places open or later in the evening when other shops have closed.
The machines are designed for reliability and can operate continuously with minimal maintenance. They’re perfect for Elmhurst’s commuter schedule—available when you need coffee for your morning train or when you’re returning home from work.
Check our current hours, but the self-serve model allows us much more flexibility than traditional coffee shops that depend entirely on staff availability.
Payment is handled directly through the machine’s touchscreen interface using contactless methods. You can pay with credit cards, debit cards, mobile payments like Apple Pay or Google Pay, and other digital payment options.
The system processes payment before preparing your drink, so there’s no separate checkout step. Once payment is confirmed, the machine immediately begins brewing your selection.
This streamlined payment process is part of what makes the entire experience so fast—no waiting for a cashier, no handling cash, and no separate transaction steps that slow down service during busy periods.
Yes, freshness is actually one of the biggest advantages of our bean-to-cup system. The machines store whole coffee beans in sealed hoppers and grind them fresh for each individual cup—not in batches that sit around losing flavor.
This means your coffee is ground seconds before brewing, which preserves the oils and compounds that give coffee its best flavor. Unlike pre-ground coffee that can sit for hours or days, you’re getting maximum freshness with every cup.
The machines also use proper storage to protect beans from light, air, and moisture. Combined with regular restocking, this approach delivers fresher coffee than many traditional coffee shops that pre-grind large quantities.
In terms of consistency and technical precision, self-serve machines often exceed manual preparation. They control variables like water temperature, pressure, and timing with accuracy that’s difficult to achieve manually, especially during busy periods when baristas are rushing.
The machines use the same fundamental brewing principles as skilled baristas—proper extraction, correct ratios, and quality milk steaming. The difference is that automated systems eliminate human error and deliver identical results every time.
While you lose the personal interaction, you gain reliability, speed, and the ability to customize exactly what you want without miscommunication. For most daily coffee needs, the quality and convenience combination is actually superior to traditional service.
