Cold Drink Systems & Machines

Shop cold drink systems and machines for cafés, offices, leisure venues and hospitality — including milkshake mixers and machines, slush machines, Billi taps, Bevi smart water coolers, ice cream machines and milk fridges. Whether you are building a complete cold drinks menu from scratch or adding a single high-margin product to an existing counter, this range covers the equipment needed to serve cold drinks consistently and profitably.

Cold drinks are one of the highest-margin categories on any café or hospitality menu — and most cold drink stations require minimal extra staff training to operate. Free next working day delivery on orders over £69, with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 4:30pm Monday to Friday. For the powders and ingredients to run these machines, browse our milkshake range, frappe powders and coffee syrups.

What's in the cold drink systems range

Milkshake mixers and machines — Our commercial milkshake mixers use a high-speed spindle to blend powder and milk into thick, consistent shakes in seconds — no ice required. Pair with Shmoo milkshake powder for the fastest, most reliable setup. For sites starting out, our milkshake packages bundle the machine, cups and powder together so you can start serving immediately.

Slush machines — Commercial slush machines are one of the most reliable impulse purchase drivers in leisure and retail environments. Available in single and twin-bowl configurations, they operate continuously and require minimal intervention once the mix is loaded. Compact countertop models suit cafés and kiosks; larger multi-bowl units are better suited to high-footfall venues, theme parks and leisure centres.

Bevi smart water cooler — The Bevi Standup 2.0 is a bottleless, mains-fed water cooler that delivers filtered still or sparkling water on demand, with custom flavour options and functional boosts — including Vitamin Boost and Electrolytes — at the touch of a button. Designed for modern offices and hospitality spaces, it eliminates single-use bottles and provides a premium drinks amenity that employees and visitors actively use. Choose cold, ambient or hot water, with adjustable carbonation and flavour strength per pour.

Billi taps — Billi taps deliver instant boiling, chilled and sparkling water from a single under-counter unit — replacing kettles and water coolers in offices, hotel rooms and food service environments. No waiting, no clutter, no single-use bottles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cold drink machines are best for a café?

The most profitable starting point for most cafés is a milkshake mixer or high-powered blender for frappes — both use powders with a long shelf life and command a strong margin per drink. If you have a customer-facing counter with passing footfall, adding a slush machine generates consistent impulse sales with very little effort. Our milkshake packages are the fastest way to get a shake station up and running from a standing start.

What is the Bevi water cooler and how does it work?

The Bevi Standup 2.0 is a mains-connected, bottleless water dispenser that filters tap water and delivers still, sparkling or flavoured water on demand. Users select their preferred water type, carbonation level and flavour at the machine — with no bottles to replace and no manual refilling required. It supports five flavour options in the UK market and optional functional boosts, making it a premium hydration solution for modern offices and hospitality environments.

What is a Billi tap?

A Billi tap is an under-counter boiling and chilled water system that delivers instant boiling water, chilled still water and — on some models — chilled sparkling water, all from a single tap. They replace kettles and water coolers in offices, hotel rooms and food service environments, reducing energy use and counter clutter while providing always-ready water at the exact temperature needed.

Can I use a milkshake mixer to make frappes?

No. A spindle milkshake mixer blends powder with milk but cannot crush ice. For frappes — which require blending ice to a smooth, consistent texture — you need a high-powered blender with an ice-crushing motor. See our milkshake mixers and blenders range for models rated for commercial ice-crushing use, and our frappe powders for the ingredients to go with them.

Do slush machines need a lot of maintenance?

No — commercial slush machines are designed for straightforward daily operation. Once the mix is loaded and the machine reaches temperature, it runs continuously with minimal intervention. Regular cleaning between flavour changes and a thorough clean at the end of each day keeps the machine in good condition. Browse our slush machines for full spec details on individual models.
