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 XX OC is Rhea's entry-level bean-to-cup vending machine — built around soluble, freeze-dried coffee rather than fresh beans, so it skips the grinder and keeps the footprint, and the price, down. It serves up to 8 one-touch coffee, hot chocolate, and milk-based selections at up to 70 cups a day, with a built-in water tank so you're not tied to plumbing. It's built for small to medium offices and break rooms that want genuine one-touch convenience without the complexity of a full bean-to-cup system.
Key Features
One-Touch Simplicity (No Grinder, No Fuss)
Uses soluble freeze-dried coffee, hot chocolate powder, and milk creamer, so every drink is ready in one press with none of the maintenance a bean hopper and grinder demand.
8 One-Touch Selections (Variety Without Complexity)
From black coffee to milky, chocolate-based drinks, 8 programmed selections cover most everyday office cravings.
Built-In Water Tank (No Plumbing Required)
An integrated tank means the XX OC can go anywhere there's a power point — no need for a direct water line.
Compact Footprint (Fits Anywhere)
At 555mm high and just 300mm wide, it tucks into a kitchenette or break room corner without dominating the space.
Low-Maintenance Ingredient Canisters (Fewer Refills)
0.75kg soluble coffee, 0.8kg hot chocolate powder, and 0.8kg milk creamer canisters mean fewer refill runs for a machine this size.
12-Month Warranty (Peace of Mind)
Backed by a full year's warranty on parts and workmanship.
Who It's Built For
The XX OC is built for small to medium offices, waiting rooms, and break rooms that want reliable coffee at the touch of a button — not a barista experience. No grinder to maintain, no beans to manage — just consistent, one-touch coffee, day after day.
