AZVendor Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Crane has built branded machines for Seattle's Best and for Starbucks. The price should be the same as any other generic machine they make unless they are built with extra grinders for multiple flavors/strengths of coffee. That is probably what they have in them (up to 3 or 4 mini grinders), otherwise it would be silly to put the brand on the machine. You will then, of course, need to put the specific brand of coffee in the machine or you would be deceiving your customer and you know the price of that coffee is much more than any other ground or bean coffee you would get.

FrCorey Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 well yeah, why buy a seattles best machine and then fill it with folgers? sounds neat, I am going to download the manual and read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feral Vending Mechanic Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 It's a pretty decent machine. If you end up with one, and need the secret code to get into the programming, ( it's not in the manual ) ping me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjwalker80 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Have any of you actually bought one of thier machines I'm new and have really been considering trying to buy as I think they would be a good venture. Any review other than the promo I see on Cranes website? Thanks, Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any review other than the promo I see on Cranes website? Thanks, Jeremy I wouldn't spend money on a new machine unless you knew you had a location that would pay for it in sales. Those machines will run you upwards of $7000 and there are surely used machines out there for much less than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonkw Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Last time I spoke to Crane these Hot Drink Centers are being discontinued in favor of Stentorfield's Voce. I wouldn't buy them new now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrCorey Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 and a used one can be a nightmare if not shopped out properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope that this isn't true as we already have too many poorly made and supported European-made machines here. Crane should stick with what they know and just build their own machines. USI is also prone to this kind of crap with coffee machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
