Best known for its free-standing vending machine, Sielaff has now introduced the first table-top hot drinks machine under its own name. The CIT 500 is a soluble ingredients machine, designed for offices and catering establishments. It has a stylish bow-fronted design with back-lit graphic and it features four mixing bowls.

Customers can choose from up to four different selections, and there is a choice of up to eight different drinks to put in the machine. The company says parts are easily removed for cleaning in a dishwasher, and the machine has an internal computer that can edit drinks' names and alter cup volumes. Sielaff is also planning fresh-brew and bean-to-cup models.
