Starbucks coffee machine

Starbucks is the world's largest coffeehouse chain, founded in Seattle, Washington, in 1971. While the brand is American, the coffee beans are sourced globally from regions in Latin America, Africa, and Asia-Pacific, and roasted in various facilities across the world. The specific automated self-service kiosks and 'We Proudly Serve' coffee stations, like the one pictured, are often managed through a strategic alliance with Nestlé. In 2018, Nestlé and Starbucks formed a Global Coffee Alliance, granting Nestlé the perpetual rights to market Starbucks consumer and foodservice products globally, outside of Starbucks coffee houses. The machines themselves are typically manufactured by specialized kitchen equipment companies in Europe or North America, depending on the specific model.
