About the Company :

Research has proved that providing employees with fresh coffee and tea increases productivity in any office. A vending machine, which dispenses fresh coffee at the touch of a button, thus becomes an absolute necessity.

Recognizing the huge potential, Coffee Day Beverages embarked on a dynamic journey to become the largest ‘fresh milk - roasted coffee beans’ vending chain with a distinct brand identity of its own. Today, we have become the largest player in the segment with over 55,000 installations across the country. And, we continue to grow! We have made freshness an integral part of the vending machine proposition. The best ingredients are used and strict quality checks are performed to ensure consistent quality of the coffee beans. This enables us to deliver the satisfaction of a freshly brewed cup of beverage. Our reach extends across the length and breadth of the country.

Locations including airport lounges, railway stations, road transport hubs, petrol stations, malls, corporate, offices, schools, colleges, hospitals, restaurants and hotels.
