Evoca Group has expanded its Necta lineup with the launch of the Barista 500 Pro Touch and Barista 600 Pro Touch, two new fully connected coffee machines aimed at modernising the vending market with a focus on sustainability and remote functionality.
The new models are built with 96% recyclable materials, including bio-circular plastics on the door and use a fully lead-free hydraulic circuit. Both machines meet A+ energy class standards under EVA-EMP guidelines and come in 100% recyclable packaging.
Targeting professional operators, the machines are designed for durability and ease of use, while integrated cloud connectivity allows for remote diagnostics, software updates and system reboots, cutting down on maintenance time and improving efficiency for vending providers.
Evoca said the new models "set a new benchmark for user experience, performance, environmental responsibility and connectivity".
