Carma Coffee launched one of their automated coffee machines on Friday, February 21 along the town’s main thoroughfare, with passers-by able to enjoy free drinks on the day.
The unmanned kiosks are designed with minimal operating requirements in mind, including cashless payment processing and auto-lid capping.
"We already have machines in Inver stadium and also at Larne Football Club’s training ground (The Cliff), so we already have a presence in Larne, but this is the first high street 24/7 external solution that we will have installed anywhere,” a spokesperson for the company said.
