I recommend:  BigTray offers triple bowl cold beverage dispensers for juice, coffee or tea. Karma Inc. offers iced tea beverage dispensers and juice dispensers. Cuda Coffee offers iced tea and iced coffee brewers/dispensers from Bunn and Grindmaster. A variety of countertop and under the counter commercial soda dispensers are available from At Home Soda or from Manitowoc Beverage Equipment.

Blended beverage dispensers Smoothies and blended coffee drinks have grown exponentially in popularity in recent years. Some blended beverage dispensers come in varieties that blend and dispense pre-measured servings; other blended beverage dispensers continually mix and dispense iced blended drinks.

I recommend:  AAA Commercial Products offers commercial smoothie makers and blended beverage dispensers. Blendtec sells blenders that blend and dispense different flavored drinks in pre-programmable portions.

Thermal beverage dispensers Hot coffee never goes out of style. Whether you're offering fresh brewed coffee as a courtesy to customers or making money on the cups of joe, thermal beverage servers keep it piping hot until dispensed.

I recommend:  The Restaurant Source carries many thermal beverage dispensers, including coffee urns, air pots and insulated plastic coffee dispensers. Able Kitchen has BrewMatic two-hopper gourmet coffee dispensers for cappuccinos, lattes, hot chocolate and gourmet coffee drinks.

Beer taps and liquor and beer dispensers Beer dispensers allow bars to serve draft beer, which can be more efficient than serving beer in bottles.

I recommend:  Berg Company carries a variety of beer taps and wine and soda draft beverage dispensers. BeverageFactory.com is a supplier of keg beer pumps, beer taps and regulators that keep CO2 and nitrogen levels correct. Perlick manufactures direct draw beer dispensers, glass frosters and beer systems for restaurants, sports arenas and breweries.

Coffee vending dispensers Coffee vending dispensers allow you to offer brewed coffee to customers without having to provide staff to make the coffee and take payment. The customer can put change or bills into the machine, press their selection and have hot coffee in a manner of seconds.

I recommend:  Embassy Vending provides coffee vending dispensers that feature six different product compartments and that can be set to charge a variety of prices you determine. Global Vending Group has a good variety of coffee vending dispensers.
