SCOOP-FREE DISPENSER
Coffee Bean Dispenser
The scoop-free model is designed for shelf or staffed service-counter placement. It keeps coffee visible and close to the grinder, barista or retail service point without adding a scoop-return inlet.
Best suited to
Coffee bars, grinder stations, café service counters, roastery showrooms and retail shelves where approximately 4 kg capacity is appropriate.
How it operates
Beans are released through the front dispensing mechanism. The shorter body does not include the integrated scoop-return inlet.
Capacity logic
Approximately 4 kg. Actual capacity varies with bean size, roast development and bulk density.
Width and quantity calculation
The product is 19 cm wide. For a practical first layout, the Studio rounds each shelf position to 20 cm. A 100 cm shelf therefore accommodates 5 units.
Critical difference
It is shorter and has a lower nominal capacity than the scoop model. Unlike the wall-mounted silo, it stands on a shelf or service counter.
This higher-capacity coffee bean dispenser includes a dedicated scoop-return inlet. It supports weigh-and-pack service where an excess dispensed quantity may need to be returned.
Best suited to
Bulk coffee retail, gourmet stores, roastery shops and staff-operated or supervised self-service areas.
How it operates
Beans leave through the lower outlet. If the quantity exceeds the required weight, staff collect the excess with the scoop and return it through the dedicated inlet without opening the top lid.
Capacity logic
Approximately 7 kg. The larger capacity is most useful for coffees with enough turnover to justify the fill quantity.
Width and quantity calculation
The product is 19 cm wide and units may stand directly beside one another. The Studio uses a rounded 20 cm shelf position, so a 100 cm shelf accommodates 5 units.
Critical difference
It is taller and holds more than the scoop-free dispenser. It is not wall mounted and should be selected where an available shelf or service counter suits the workflow.
The cylindrical wall-mounted model creates a vertical coffee display and keeps the service counter available for grinders, scales, packaging or customer service.
Best suited to
Specialty cafés, coffee roasteries, showrooms and premium retail displays where the assortment should be visible from a distance.
How it operates
Beans remain visible inside the vertical acrylic tube and are released from the dispensing section at its lower end.
Capacity logic
Approximately 4 kg. Fill quantity should still be adjusted to the turnover of each coffee.
Width and quantity calculation
The product diameter is 15 cm. A minimum 5 cm interval is included, producing a 20 cm position. An 80 cm available wall width therefore accommodates 4 units.
Critical difference
Installation height, wall structure, refill access and the mounting method require a separate technical check.
