SAN DIEGO, USA – The KVM allows for a unique self-service craft beverage experience unlike a traditional vending machine, while providing a coffee shop like experience without the need for employee attendance or involvement. The KVM gives customers full control over their beverage experience, allowing them to pour exactly the amount they want and pay only for what they enjoy.

Vending machines are a staple of convenience in the U.S., with millions installed nationwide, offering a variety of snacks and beverages. Traditional vending machines, namely, beverage vending machines focus on selling beverages in fixed quantities–in containers like cans and bottles.

KVM sets itself apart and aims to transform the traditional beverage vending experience by allowing vending operators the opportunity and ability to vend beverages in bulk form–from kegs or bag-in-box containers, whereby customers can “pay-by-the-ounce” for their favorite craft beverages and pour as little or as much as they want without being restricted to a specific quantity. In turn, operators are empowered to make more money by selling beverages at a wholesale rate in an incremental fashion.

Craig Costanzo, Founder and CEO of Beverage Factory and Kegco®, says, “The KVM is an absolute game changer in the ‘Craft Beverages on Tap’ space. KVM allows for higher gross profits when selling kegs or bag-in-box products with less labor costs.”

Specifically designed for craft beverages, KVM dispenses drinks directly through beverage taps, offering a fresh and premium-quality pour. It also promotes eco-friendliness by giving users the option to use their own reusable cups. This sustainable, tap-based approach not only enhances beverage quality, but also aligns with environmentally conscious values, making it a unique and forward-thinking alternative to standard beverage vending solutions.

Modern Design

KVM’s proprietary design features a sleek and modern appearance, complemented by a 10″ touchscreen display and up to four customizable taps, which allows for full brand personalization of any company’s logo for a cohesive branding experience. Our proprietary beverage tap control technology combines custom-designed hardware and software to deliver precise control over liquid dispensing at each tap. The 2025 upgraded design also includes KVM’s proprietary Focused Air Cooling Technology (F.A.C.T™) and focused cooling chamber that allows the KVM to maintain a consistent temperature between the Topper portion of the KVM and its kegerator refrigeration unit, which now allows the KVM to serve beer and wine.

Advanced Software

KVM’s advanced software provides a comprehensive online dashboard for remote management of beverage vending operations. It enables real-time monitoring of transaction data, sales, inventory levels, temperature data and more, while allowing operators to schedule events like “happy hours” to drive engagement. Its unique PIN code functionality supports complimentary or discounted beverages at the operator’s or location’s discretion, with the option to bill the location later. Additionally, the integrated card payment system charges users by the ounce for beverages poured, ensuring precise billing like a gas pump. This feature-rich platform enhances operational efficiency while delivering a tailored and convenient user experience.

Marketing Capabilities

The KVM features visually appealing touchscreen displays that serve as both an intuitive customer interface and a powerful marketing tool. These displays allow for easy navigation of beverage options and personalization of orders while also offering a unique platform for advertising. Operators can display ads, product information, or special offers directly on the screen, enhancing customer engagement. Additionally, the machine supports PIN code entry for exclusive beverage promotions and discounts, allowing businesses to run targeted campaigns and provide rewards, giving customers a more personalized and interactive experience.

Pricing

Models start at $3,950.00 for the KVM topper (only), which fit on most standard kegerator refrigeration units (purchased separately), providing an affordable option for those looking to integrate our innovative technology into existing setups. For a complete solution, full units are available starting at $4,700.00, offering a turnkey system with all the features and functionality required to elevate your beverage vending experience.
