The Bunn Espresso Sure Tamp Superautomatic machine is now available with a cashless self-serve option from USA Technologies. The two-piece card reader and telemetry system supports both traditional magnetic stripe credit and debit cards and the newer NFC technology found in contactless cards and mobile wallets.

The Sure Tamp also offers a patent pending process for milk delivery: in the milk texturing fusion, a knife blade of steam is injected into the chamber which heats the milk, resulting in a milk that is rich and creamy.

Alerts provide cashless operators with near real-time information concerning the activity of their machines, delivering notifications of performance and sales issues. The portal alerts incorporate machine performance metrics that enable operators to focus on the most important issues in high utilization machines.
The portal features an alert dashboard that gives operators a quick overview of network health and the ability to drill into specific performance areas such as sales, device communication, DEX, payment systems, hardware and coffee.
