Necta, based in Valbrembo, Italy, has unveiled its latest coffee technology innovation: the Barista 500 and 600 Pro Touch vending machines, according to a press release. These models aim to set a new standard in the industry by blending advanced engineering with a sleek, contemporary design.

A central feature of the machines is the integration of a 21.5-inch touchscreen interface with the beverage dispensing area, creating a single, compact element. This design enhances the user purchasing experience and provides operators with greater customization options through the large screen and backlit panels.

Connectivity is a core component of the Barista Pro models, which are cloud-ready to allow for remote rebooting and more efficient operational support. The programming menu has been simplified and standardized across the entire range for user-friendly control. The machines are built for reliability, featuring high-quality components and the patented Z4000 coffee group to ensure exceptional in-cup quality.

Necta highlights a significant commitment to sustainability in this new line. The machines are constructed from 96% recyclable materials, utilize bio-circular plastics for the door and feature a fully lead-free hydraulic circuit and 100% recyclable packaging. Their A+ energy class certification and a carbon footprint reduction of up to 8% compared to previous models underscore Evoca Group's leadership in sustainable practices.
