Partner reviews
Ratings and comments from owners of FASTKAVA machines in cities across Poland — on the launch, upkeep, servicing and sales.
Success stories
Specific sites before and after the machine went in: type of location, drinks per day and payback period. These are examples — results depend on the site and its footfall.
Office building in Warsaw: payback in 14 months
Payback in 14 months
Before
An empty recess in the lobby of a class A office building, about 1,200 employees, the nearest café 400 m away.
After
An Azkoyen Vitro S1 with card payments; 85 drinks a day on average, peaks 8:00–10:00 and 13:00–15:00.
The location turned out to matter most — a recess by the lifts that everyone walks past twice a day.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | Office building, Mokotów |
| Drinks per day | 85 |
| Payback | 14 months |
Campus in Kraków: 120 drinks a day
120 drinks a day during the academic year
Before
A faculty corridor with no food service at all; students left the building to get coffee.
After
The cold-drinks model (Azkoyen Vitro S5) — in summer about 40% of sales are iced drinks.
I was worried sales would drop in summer, and iced drinks turned out to be the biggest part of them.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | University |
| Drinks per day | 120 |
| Payback | 11 months |
Railway station in Gdańsk: open 24/7
About 15% of turnover at night
Before
A station hall with heavy rush-hour traffic and a single café open until 7 pm.
After
A Jetinno JL300 running around the clock; night sales are about 15% of turnover.
The station café closed at 7 pm — night travellers were pure profit for us.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Location | Railway station |
| Drinks per day | 95 |
| Payback | 16 months |

Self-service coffee shop reviews from FASTKAVA partners
Before you invest in a site of your own, see how a self-service coffee shop works day to day for others. Here we collect FASTKAVA reviews from franchise partners, investors and companies that have installed a machine in their office. They write about the launch, daily upkeep, servicing and sales — and also about what surprised them and what they would like to improve. Reviews of coffee vending machines like these tell you more than a catalogue, because they show the equipment at a real location.
What partners praise most often
- No barista needed — the machine sells 24/7, and the owner only comes by to refill ingredients and clean it.
- Telemetry and the app — sales, ingredient levels and service messages are visible on the phone.
- Cashless payments — customers pay by card or phone, so there is no cash to collect.
- A wide menu — more than 50 drinks in 4 groups: espresso-based coffee, matcha and iced drinks, chocolate and shakes, lemonades. The site sells all year round, not only in hot-coffee season.
- Deliveries and servicing across Poland — one partner for the machine, ingredients and repairs.
How to read the reviews and success stories
A site’s results depend above all on its location. The same machine in an office building, at a railway station and in a shopping centre will sell a different number of drinks, at different times and with a different menu. That is why our success stories give the type of site, daily sales and payback period — they are examples of specific sites, not a promise of results for every location. Before launch we assess the footfall at the site you propose together and choose the model: from the Standard Classic (from €6,100 gross) to the Jetinno JL300 Premium (€9,300–9,500 gross).

Questions about working with FASTKAVA
The main cost is the machine. Gross prices: Standard Classic from €6,100, Jetinno JL22 — €6,300, Azkoyen Vitro S5 (Standard + cold drinks) — €6,500–6,700, Azkoyen Vitro S1 (Business) — €6,600–6,800, Jetinno JL300 (Premium) — €9,300–9,500. The machine can also be rented, bought in instalments or leased — roughly PLN 350–900 a month, depending on the model and contract term. This is an estimate; the exact payment is given in the quote.
No. We help you choose the location and model, install the machine and train you in operation, menu set-up and pricing. After launch you see sales, ingredient levels and service messages in the app, so you only visit the site when it needs refilling or cleaning.
It depends on the location, footfall and drink prices. The success stories on this page are examples of specific sites, not a guarantee of results. You can test your own assumptions in the calculator on the franchise page, and we will prepare a scenario for your site in the quote.
