About the Brand
Rhea Vendors Group has been building vending and automatic coffee machines in Italy since 1960, growing from a single gumball machine into one of the world's most respected names in self-service coffee. The company has worked with designers including Michele De Lucchi and Massimo Iosa Ghini — one of its espresso machines sits in the permanent design collection at MoMA in New York — and it built the first whole-bean espresso vending machine with an integrated grinder. Over 60 years on, Rhea still stands for Italian engineering, reliable high-volume output, and coffee that doesn't taste like it came from a machine.
The Product
The Horeca 380 is Rhea's high-volume soluble coffee machine, built for businesses that need serious output rather than a small office fix. It runs 8 one-touch selections at up to 500 cups a day, and can serve two drinks simultaneously — a full litre in around 20 seconds — which matters when there's a queue. It's the machine you reach for when a break-room unit simply won't keep up.
Key Features
500 Cups a Day (Genuine High-Volume Output)
Built to keep pace with busy horeca environments and large offices, not just top up a break room.
Dual Simultaneous Dispensing (Cuts the Queue)
Serves two drinks at once, at roughly a litre every 20 seconds, so peak periods move faster.
8 One-Touch Selections
Coffee, hot chocolate, and milk-based drinks, all programmed for speed.
Flexible Water Supply (Plumbed or Portable)
Direct water connection or an external container, depending on your site.
Generous Ingredient Canisters (Fewer Refills at Volume)
1.5kg soluble coffee, 3.3kg hot chocolate powder, and 3.3kg milk creamer capacity.
Tall Cup Clearance (Up to 250mm)
Room for flasks and taller cups, not just standard takeaway sizes.
On-Site Training Included
Your team is shown how to run and maintain it on installation day.
12-Month Warranty
A full year's cover on parts and workmanship.
Who It's Built For
The Horeca 380 is built for medium to large businesses, canteens, and horeca operations where a steady stream of people need coffee fast, not eventually. When volume is the problem, this is the machine built to solve it — two cups at a time, all day long.
