American National Coffee & Soup Vendor

“Two full years of Research, Development and Location Testing Stand Behind the World’s Finest…Hot Coffee Vendor”

The brochure sings the praises of this sleek vending machine. Probably made in the 1950’s, it was marketed as a hot coffee vending machine that could easily be converted to a hot soup vending machine (“Instantly convertible on location”).

Other features listed on the sales brochure:
• Economical in cost, servicing and operation.
• Powdered ingredients in constant quantities, maintained at constant temperature to
give full-bodied drinks of constant flavor.
• No expensive refrigeration.
• Sanitary construction.
• Complete rinsing of mixing bowl.
• Every safety feature.

Coffee and soup machines are still around today, but the designs are not as dynamic as the old ones, like the one we are featuring here. Have you ever happened to see one like this? Email and let us know.

Manufactured by:
American National Dispensing Co., Inc.

    I have a old coffee machine. It is called the coffee bar manufactured by the bert mills company of lombard illinois model 200. We believe this to be from the 1950s. Also it has a dial on the front to choose black coffee,with sugar, cream, and cream and sugar. These are its only selections and a vend price of 5 cents. Does anyone know anything about this?
