Viva moves
The Viva range of advanced automatic coffee machines made by Germany's Bremer is now being handled in the UK by Viva UK, staffed by former Chevron Foods personnel. Latest model, the Viva 24 bean-to-cup machine, combines an extra slim all-metal case (240mm wide footprint) with two bean hopper/grinder systems and the ability to produce up to six different espresso-based speciality coffees at a rate of 120-140 cups/hour. List price is £5500.
A matching fridge able to keep 9 litres of milk chilled and connected directly to the machine's automatic foaming system is available at around £1000. As on other Viva machines, standard features include a patented needle filter brewing system and height-adjustable double coffee spout.
