A whole café, shrunk into a box
Flying Turtle is a fully automated robotic barista, designed by an award-winning Italian studio honoured with multiple Red Dot Design Awards. It does what normally takes a coffee shop, a bubble tea bar and a smoothie counter — from a footprint of one metre by 0.85.
Customers order on a large touch screen, make the drink their own, and watch it made fresh in front of them. No baristas, no rota, no fit-out — and it blends into refined spaces rather than shouting over them.
- Only the finest ingredients — hand-selected single-origin coffee beans, ceremonial-grade matcha, rich premium cocoa and 100% real milk. No creamers. No compromises.
- Hyper-personalisation — size, hot, iced or blended, six sweetness levels from 0% to 130% (sugar, honey or zero-calorie stevia), your choice of bean, one to three shots, and dairy or oat milk.
- Barista-level engineering — controlled tamping pressure, water temperature and ingredient dosing deliver consistent flavour, cup after cup.
- Obsessive hygiene — RO drinking water passed through a filter and UV steriliser, ice made inside the machine, and the mixing unit flushed with high-pressure boiling water after every single cup.
- Nothing for your team to do — Flying Turtle handles ingredient refills, cleaning, maintenance and on-site technical support. You provide the space and a standard plug socket.

The menu
500+ drinks. Nine menus. One machine.
From your daily coffee to refreshing fruit teas and dessert-inspired treats — there's a different favourite for every mood. Pick a category, then tap any drink card for its nutrition.
Carefully selected. Precisely brewed. Beans are ground fresh and every coffee is brewed to order, with a choice of bean in most drinks: a rich, smooth Brazil Blend, a whiskey barrel-aged Honduras, or a delicate, floral Geisha. One to three shots, hot, iced or blended.
Ceremonial-grade Japanese matcha, two ways: bold, umami-rich Uji from Kyoto's historic tea fields, or a smooth, nutty Nishio blend — your choice in most matcha drinks. Straight, as lattes, or in combinations like honey matcha lemonade and strawberry matcha.
The section that turns heads: authentic Thai milk tea, proper black tea, and milk teas in flavours from lychee and peach to chocolate — most of them hot, iced or blended.
Rich premium cocoa and 100% real milk — no creamers. From a classic hot chocolate to dark, caramel, mint and strawberry versions, plus the Virgin Chocolate for cocoa without the sugar. All available hot, iced or blended.
The comfort menu, built on pure cow's milk for its naturally rich taste — just real milk, no creamer. Strawberry, caramel, honey, peach and mint versions, hot, iced or blended. All caffeine-free, so the kids can join in.
Dessert in a cup, from a machine. Frappés made with real OREO cookies, crumbles, cheesecakes and lime pies — the drinks that end up on social media, and bring their followers to your site.
Smooth protein shakes with 21–22g of protein per serve, from chocolate and vanilla to espresso, matcha and Oreo — and you can add protein to selected drinks too. The category gyms and leisure centres ask about first.
Freshly carbonated sodas — yuzu, lychee, strawberry, lime and more — plus Pepsi with a twist: caramel, coconut, mango, yuzu, and Pepsi No Sugar for the zero-calorie crowd.
Frozen, blended and very hard to walk past: apple, lime, peach, honey, strawberry and mint — even a Pepsi Slushy. The summer menu that keeps a machine busy long after the lunch rush.
Values are per serving for the standard recipe — sweetness level, milk choice, extra shots and add-ons change the figures. Drinks and options vary by machine. Full nutrition for every drink, including per-100g values, is shown at the machine and at flying-turtle.uk. For allergen information, please ask us.
Personalisation
A little less sweet. A different milk.

Where it fits
For the spaces people use every day
One machine, about a metre wide, brings a full drinks menu to places where a café would not fit — or would not stay open. If your site has footfall and a spare corner, it can become the most popular spot in the building:
Schools, colleges & universities
Caffeine-free milk drinks and slushies alongside proper coffee — with full nutrition published for every drink.
Petrol stations & transport hubs
Barista coffee at any hour, with no staff on the clock. Made for forecourts, stations and park & rides.
Offices & workplaces
A better coffee break for employees and their visitors — without hiring a barista.
Factories & industrial estates
Round-the-clock shifts deserve round-the-clock drinks. Protein shakes and proper coffee for every shift pattern.
Healthcare & waiting areas
Fresh drinks for staff on long shifts and for visitors — when the canteen shut hours ago.
Shopping centres & attractions
High-footfall retail is where it shines — and the dessert drinks alone pull crowds (and their cameras).
Gyms, hotels & leisure
Protein shakes after training, coffee before it. Lobbies, lounges and poolside too.
Student & residential buildings
Lobbies, mailrooms and common areas — a daily ritual that keeps residents in the building.
Somewhere we haven't thought of? — if the footfall is there, we're interested.

Enquiring takes two minutes
You provide the space and electricity — Flying Turtle looks after the machine, the ingredients and the service. The footprint is 1.00m by 0.85m, running off one standard UK plug socket, with a water supply optional. Every proposal is tailored to the location, and it starts with the short form below.
- Send an enquiry — tell us your location type and postcode. That's genuinely all we need to start.
- Tasting & consultation — a real person gets in touch to talk through your site, and you can taste the drinks for yourself.
- Site assessment — we check space, power, water options and expected demand, and answer every question you've got.
- Tailored proposal & install — then the machine arrives, with refills, cleaning and maintenance handled from day one.
Questions
The things everyone asks
How much space does the machine actually need?
The machine is 1.00m wide, 0.85m deep and 1.95m tall, with roughly 25cm of clearance behind it for ventilation and servicing. It runs off one standard UK electrical outlet (230V, 13A). A water supply and wastewater outlet are preferred but both are optional — final requirements are confirmed at the site assessment.
Does it need staff to run it?
No. It's fully self-serve — customers order and pay at the machine and drinks are made automatically. Flying Turtle handles the everyday too: ingredient refills, cleaning, maintenance and on-site technical support. Nothing lands on your team.
How is it kept clean?
Obsessively. Every cup is brewed with RO (reverse osmosis) drinking water that's passed through a filter and UV steriliser. Ice is made inside the machine, eliminating contamination, and the mixing unit is cleaned with high-pressure boiling water after every single drink served.
What's on the menu?
Over 500 drinks across nine menus: specialty coffee (with a choice of Brazil, Honduras or Geisha beans), teas, Uji and Nishio matcha, chocolate, milk drinks, frappés and desserts made with real OREO cookies, protein shakes, freshly carbonated sodas including the Pepsi range, and slushies. Most drinks come hot, iced or blended.
What about nutrition and dietary requirements?
Full nutrition — energy, sugars, protein, salt and caffeine — is published for every drink, per serving and per 100g. Oat milk is vegan and gluten free, zero-calorie stevia replaces sugar on request, and drinks start from 0 kcal. For allergen information, just ask us and we'll provide it for the drinks you're interested in.
How does hosting actually work?
It's a partnership: you provide the space and electricity, Flying Turtle looks after everything else. Locations with expected demand of 30+ drinks a day are typically offered a share of drink sales; quieter sites may suit rent-free placement or a drink-voucher arrangement instead. Every proposal is tailored to the location after the site assessment.
What do drinks cost customers?
Typically £2–£6 per drink. Customers pay by credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or coupons and drink vouchers — it's fully cashless.
Is it available across the whole UK?
Enquiries are open UK-wide, with availability subject to location assessment and service coverage. Check your postcode at the top of this page — if we're not in your area yet, the waitlist means you hear from us the moment we arrive. If you'd rather talk it through, call 0800 442299.
