SHOT Cup 2 for automated hot beverage dispensing

Use case: hot beverages

Hot beverage dispensing for seasonal and outdoor operations

Whether on a hotel terrace, in a winter garden or at a mobile outdoor bar: dispensing mulled wine, punch or tea is automated efficiently with compact instant heaters. Hot beverages are heated only at the moment of dispensing and served cup by cup at a consistent temperature. No bulky warming containers required. This supports staff even during high outdoor demand, minimizes logistics and ensures consistently high beverage quality without long overcooking.

Challenges with hot beverages

01

Quality loss through warming containers

Beverages such as mulled wine or punch overcook in classic kettles for hours. Alcohol evaporates, flavor changes and bitter notes develop.

02

Limited space

Mobile outdoor bars or terrace stations often do not provide enough working space for large kettles and complex dispensing technology.

03

Difficult power supply

Traditional large hot beverage systems often require expensive or hard-to-access heavy-current connections outdoors.

04

High logistics and disposal effort

After closing, leftovers from kettles often need to be disposed of and sticky containers cleaned with considerable effort.

How compact hot beverage dispensing works

01

Heating through instant flow

The cold beverage is drawn directly from the container and heated inside the device to the preset target temperature of 50 to 85 °C. Long preheating times before opening the outdoor bar are eliminated completely.

02

Precise portions at the push of a button

Manual ladling is no longer needed. At the push of a button, the exactly calibrated amount is dispensed automatically. While the drink is being poured, staff can complete the order or take payment in parallel.

03

Invisible storage of large containers

Thanks to the integrated beverage pump with up to two meters suction height, canisters, tanks or bag-in-box systems can be placed under the counter or in the background. Only the compact dispenser remains on the work surface.

04

Simple 230V operation

The system operates from a regular 230V socket. Complex heavy-current installations are not required, making the setup highly flexible for temporary terrace bars or seasonal operations.

The right technology

SHOT Cup 2 is used as a compact instant heater for this setup. For autonomous self-service scenarios, the setup can be extended with Selfcup and payment.

FAQ about the hot beverage setup

Does the beverage need to be preheated?+

No. The liquid is drawn from the container at room or outdoor temperature and heated inside the device to the configured drinking temperature within seconds.

What happens to the remaining beverage after closing?+

Since the beverage is not heated in the storage container, the remaining liquid can stay in the canister or bag-in-box and be reused the next day. Daily disposal of unused quantities from large kettles is avoided.

How far away can the storage container be placed?+

The integrated beverage pump handles a suction height of up to two meters. Containers can therefore be stored flexibly and invisibly below the counter.

Can different cup and mug sizes be used?+

Yes. The dispenser has a height-adjustable stand that can be adapted to different cups, glasses or mugs. The portion size can be reconfigured within seconds.

Is there an option for self-service outdoors?+

Yes. For autonomous stations, the system can be extended with a payment module as Self Cup. Guests can then dispense and pay for mulled wine or tea completely on their own.

Optimized winter operation for your outdoor areas

Avoiding traditional warming kettles makes hot beverage dispensing more space-saving, higher in quality and much easier logistically. Extend your terrace or outdoor bar setup with compact instant-heating technology.
