Hot Drinks Dispensers in Action
If you intend to serve hot beverages to your staff and customers you will need consider the best and most effective way of doing this.
There are three choices open to you. These are to make the drinks by hand in the cup, use a drinks machine in the kitchen and bring it out to the customer or have a self serve system so that the customer can select and dispense the hot drink themselves.
For the busy caterer a traditional espresso machine is probably out of the question due to the time needed to prepare the drink and the training needed to operate the machine successfully. A fully automatic bean to cup machine with milk frothing is an option for some establishments, but here we will take a look at the instant drinks dispenser.
The instant drinks dispenser does have some advantages over the bean to cup system in as much as the initial cost of the machine is usually less and the running and servicing costs are lower too.
Typically an instant drinks dispenser contains three or four canisters inside the machine which are filled with instant soluble ingredients which are mixed and sometimes whipped into a variety of delicious hot drinks.
All the caterer needs to do is make the selection and ensure a suitably sized cup is in place to receive the drink. Many machines have the option of dispensing a large or small drink.
Delicious hot drinks such as cappuccino, coffee au lait, mocha, hot chocolate, latte as well as white and black coffee can all be made at the touch of a single button.
Some machines have a hot water button so that tea and other alternative drinks can be made from tea bags. It should be noted however that most hot drink dispensers are not geared up to produce large amounts of hot water, so it you intend to sell lots of tea then you would be better advised to purchase a dedicated hot water boiler to work along-side the hot drinks dispenser.
Most hot beverages can be made from just three instant ingredients. By keeping the canisters in the machine topped up with instant coffee, chocolate mix and cappuccino topping a wide variety of hot beverages can be served all day long with the minimum of fuss.
The cost of hot drink dispensers vary mainly according to how hard they are expected to work. The more expensive machines can cope with serving up to 1000 drink an hour at peak times, have full audit facilities and self cleaning cycles. Smaller machines are readily available for less demanding catering situations and this is generally reflected in the price you are expected to pay.
As with all types of drinks machines, it always pays to choose top quality ingredients for use in the machine, so don’t go for the cheapest coffee, whitener and chocolate. In the long run the prospect of repeat business by serving the best quality drinks usually pays dividends.

i bought a mouse canteen dispenser for my mice but it doesnt seem that they drink from it?
i give them also a bowl of water but everyday i have to change and i dont want to be doing that everyday
it looks like they cant get no water to come from it
Well… im not sure how mice learn to drink from canteen dispenser, but if you bought it from pet shops that use the dispenser inside the cages, then of course your mouse should by know how to drink from it.
However, some shops use bowls of water, and it can be a bit hard to change the habit.
But in my opinion, when they get thirsty, they will hunt around for water, and it should not take them long to find that dispenser.
