Summarize with

Crane Convenience has introduced a new generation of coffee machines for the U.K. and European markets, according to a press release, emphasizing updated design, connected technology and easier operation. The portfolio includes the CALI 2 for high-volume environments and several COTI 2 models intended for premium, retail and other connected locations.

The COTI 2 range features touch-screen interfaces and remote tools for managing prices, promotions and digital content. The COTI 2 Tower adds storage for cups, stirrers and sugar, along with e-commerce, loyalty and media functions for busy public and semi-public settings. Across the portfolio, Crane has focused on simplifying cleaning, maintenance and refilling while using durable components to reduce downtime and operating costs.

Crane partnered with Boost Inc. to integrate its VendLive platform into select COTI 2 models, giving operators centralized control over dynamic pricing, promotions, loyalty programs and media. The company also developed retrofit doors that allow existing CALI and COTI machines to receive new interfaces and connectivity without being replaced, helping operators extend equipment life and limit capital spending.
