Summarize with

A fresh-squeezed orange juice vending machine has replaced an ATM at Main Street subway station in Toronto, according to an Eat & Drink blog post. The JusFres machine, located on the concourse level of the Toronto Transit Commission station, automatically squeezes oranges and dispenses fresh juice to commuters for $3.60 ($4.99 Canadian) per serving.

The installation is JusFres' 14th vending location in Toronto. The company also operates 25 machines in Vancouver and another in Kelowna, British Columbia, with many of its Vancouver machines located at SkyTrain stations. That transit-focused strategy raises the possibility that the Main Street installation could be followed by additional machines at TTC locations.

The machine displays whole oranges behind a glass window and prepares each drink on demand, advertising the product as 100% natural and freshly squeezed. A taste test found the juice fresher and sweeter than typical packaged orange juice, although the relatively small serving made the roughly $5 price a potential drawback. The new installation will also provide a test of how well the automated juicing equipment withstands the maintenance demands and heavy traffic of a subway environment.
