LaRhea V Grande Coffee Machine: Cafe-Quality Drinks in a Compact Countertop Footprint
The LaRhea V Grande coffee machine is a commercial-grade tabletop brewer built on Rhea Vendors Group’s V+ grande platform, engineered to serve a full hot-drink menu at self-service speed. This listing is the instant (soluble) configuration: instead of grinding beans for every cup, it draws from up to five ingredient canisters — coffee, milk powder, sugar, hot chocolate, and decaffeinated coffee — and mixes each drink on demand in seconds. The result is a menu that runs from black coffee and white coffee to cappuccino, latte, hot chocolate, and flavored caramel latte, all from one 422 mm-wide machine that fits on a standard counter.
What separates this platform from basic powdered-drink dispensers is Varitherm, Rhea’s patented induction heating system. Rather than holding a tank of hot water at one temperature all day, Varitherm heats water on demand and adjusts the temperature to the specific recipe selected — even for different ingredients within the same drink. That means chocolate, coffee, and milk each get the water temperature they actually need, and the machine avoids the standby energy losses of a traditional boiler. Programmable portion control keeps ingredient dosing consistent cup after cup, so drink cost stays predictable and waste stays low — a meaningful advantage over capsule machines, where every serving carries pod cost.

Key Features
- Instant soluble brewing: no grinder maintenance, no bean hopper to manage — drinks dispense in seconds, which keeps queues moving in break rooms and waiting areas.
- Five-canister versatility: run regular and decaf coffee alongside milk powder, sugar, and hot chocolate so one machine covers the whole team’s preferences.
- Varitherm induction heating: recipe-specific water temperature and no standing hot-water tank, cutting standby energy use versus boiler-based machines.
- Programmable portion control: lock in dosing per drink for consistent taste and a known ingredient cost per cup.
- Touch-screen selection: customers pick and customize drinks (including strength adjustment) without staff help.
- Simple cleaning routine: two mixing bowls and soluble ingredients make daily rinse-downs faster than servicing a bean-to-cup group head.
About Rhea Vendors Group

Where the LaRhea V Grande Earns Its Keep
This machine is built for locations where people want a proper hot-drink menu but nobody has time to play barista: offices and break rooms, car dealership lounges, salon and clinic waiting areas, hotel breakfast corners, coworking spaces, and small canteens. Because it is a plumbed countertop unit roughly 26 inches tall, it slots into kitchenettes and beverage stations where a floor-standing coffee vending machine will not fit.
Sites serving up to around 120 cups a day are typically the sweet spot; soluble ingredients store dry, refills take minutes, and the per-cup ingredient cost typically runs well below capsule systems — which is exactly why offices switching from pod machines are the most common buyers.
Pair it with a snack or drink machine from our coffee vending machines for sale collection to build out a complete refreshment station.

FAQ: LaRhea V Grande Coffee Machine
How many drink options does the LaRhea V Grande offer?
With up to five ingredient canisters, it covers black coffee, white coffee, cappuccino, latte, hot chocolate, and flavored caramel latte, plus decaf variants — and portion settings are programmable per drink.
Is this a bean-to-cup or an instant machine?
This listing is the instant (soluble) configuration of Rhea’s V+ grande platform. It brews from soluble coffee rather than grinding beans, which means faster dispensing and a simpler cleaning routine. Rhea also builds bean-to-cup versions on the same cabinet.
What power and water does it need?

How much counter space does it take?
The cabinet measures 422 mm wide, 668 mm high, and 585 mm deep — roughly 16.6 by 26.3 by 23 inches — so it fits standard break-room counters with room to open the door for refills.

Resellers typically recommend the Grande cabinet for sites pouring up to about 120 cups per day, which suits most offices, lounges, and waiting areas.
