Many Polish workplaces call it a kawomat. It means a machine that makes and dispenses coffee on its own.
Kawomat is a Polish colloquial term for a coffee vending machine – a device that makes and dispenses a drink, usually into a cup, once you choose it. At work it runs as self-service, and restocking and cleaning are often handled by a supplier rather than staff.
Coffee vending machine vs. coffee maker
A coffee maker is usually tended by the team: refilling beans, emptying grounds, cleaning the milk system. A coffee vending machine is built for self-service and longer stretches without user involvement. It often has a menu of several drinks.
Where it works well
In offices, shift-based workplaces, and buildings where many people need coffee at different times. The page on coffee vending machines (publisher's site) describes examples.
Who looks after it
That depends on the contract. In a serviced model, the operator restocks, cleans, and fixes faults.
FAQ
Does a coffee vending machine take payments? It can, but in workplaces it often runs free of charge when the employer covers the coffee.
Does it use real milk? It depends on the model – there are machines with powdered milk and machines with fresh milk.
