73mm In-Cup Vending Machine Drinks

A straightforward way to keep hot drink machines stocked

73mm in-cup vending drinks are pre-filled cups designed for compatible vending machines. The cup already holds the ingredients, so there are no separate coffee, tea, whitener, chocolate or soup powders to load into canisters. The machine dispenses the cup and adds hot water, making this format easy to manage where regular refilling is needed.

They are a good fit for offices, staff rooms, factories, warehouses, workshops, depots, reception areas, showrooms and waiting rooms. In-cup drinks can also be used with hot water from a kettle, provided the chosen drink format and preparation instructions allow for it.

Build a drinks menu around your team

Offering a few familiar choices helps cover different tastes without complicating your machine setup. Coffee makes up the largest part of the range, with white coffee, white coffee with sugar, black coffee, decaf coffee, cappuccino, latte and other coffee cup drinks available. Look for recognised names including Nescafé Gold Blend, Douwe Egberts Pure Gold and Kenco when you want familiar coffee brands in workplace vending and hot drink areas.

For tea drinkers, PG Tips tagged tea cups provide a simple British tea option from the same machine. White tea formats are available, including versions with sugar, so there is no need to add loose ingredients or extra milk powder to the machine.

Hot chocolate gives users a sweeter alternative to tea and coffee. The range includes Cadbury-style and own-label hot chocolate cup drinks, which are often chosen for offices, leisure sites, staff rooms and customer waiting areas.

When a savoury option is wanted, 73mm soup cups can broaden the selection. Tomato soup, vegetable soup, Bovril and other soup cup drinks are particularly welcome in colder months or at locations where people need something quick without a separate kitchen setup.

Choose the right quantity for your refill routine

Most standard in-cup drinks are sold as individual sleeves or full cases. Many lines come in 25-cup sleeves and 300-cup cases, which can make it easier to balance storage space with regular demand. Selected drinks, including cappuccino, are supplied in 20-cup sleeves and 240-cup cases.

For smaller sites, sleeves can help you try a new drink choice or top up a machine without over-ordering. Full cases are useful for managed vending routes and busy locations where stock control across several machines matters. Check each product page before purchase, as pack quantities vary by line.

Check 73mm cup compatibility before ordering

These are 73mm in-cup vending drinks, but machine requirements can differ. Confirm your machine's cup diameter and loading arrangement before ordering, especially when changing from another cup format or diameter. Your own machine manual or supplier guidance should always be the final check when introducing a new product.

Individual product pages may list compatibility with common 73mm in-cup systems, including Klix, Eurocup, Darenth, Flavorpac, Capresso, Darenth MJS, Refresh 700/1400, Style 5, 1066, Encore and Cafebar. Compatibility information is a helpful starting point, but it does not replace checking your specific machine.

Where 73mm in-cup drinks work well

Factories, warehouses and industrial break areas

Pre-filled coffee, tea, hot chocolate and soup cups offer shift workers a quick drink during breaks. They are also well suited to factory floors and warehouses where keeping the refreshment arrangement straightforward is important.

Offices, reception spaces and showrooms

White coffee, black coffee, decaf, tea and hot chocolate can provide an everyday selection for staff, visitors and customers. Nescafé, PG Tips, hot chocolate and soup cups can all be considered for reception drinks and waiting areas.

Workshops, garages and depots

In-cup systems are a simple choice for workshop break rooms, trade counters, garages and depots, where a full loose-ingredient vending machine may be harder to maintain.

Leisure and public-facing sites

Sports clubs, leisure centres, community buildings and self-serve refreshment points may use cup drinks to offer a choice of hot beverages and savoury drinks from a compatible machine.

Managed vending routes

For vending operators, sleeves are quick to load into compatible machines, while full cases can help keep replenishment organised across smaller sites, offices and industrial locations.

Complete your vending area order

73mm in-cup drinks are often ordered alongside vending cups, stirrers, sugar portions, cleaning products, paper cups, cold drinks and workplace snacks. Adding these supplies to the same order can help you keep machine areas and staff drink points ready for day-to-day use.
