Saeco Introduces a Multi-Tasking Machine for Today’s Efficiency-Minded Business

CLEVELAND – March 20, 2008 – Responsive to the needs of all commercial applications including offices, hospitals
and educational facilities, Saeco USA introduces the latest edition to its vending machine line, the Diamante. Diamante
is the first and only vending machine of its kind providing fresh ground specialty coffee beverages alongside cold
beverages and snacks in one, compact machine.

“Combining these popular vending categories in one machine gives our customers space, monetary and energy
savings without compromising variety,” said Saeco USA vice president of sales, Ted Richissin.

Measuring just over six feet tall and two feet wide and deep, this one machine is aimed to save customers the hassle
and cost of leasing or buying multiple vending machines. Maintenance is also made efficient, by ensuring products
are stocked proportionally so that all restocking can be completed at once, eliminating the need for multiple service
trips. Still, Diamante offers vast selection with nine hot beverage options as well as milk, sugar or other soluble
powders for final beverages to please any coffee enthusiast. Additionally, 4-5 product shelves house multi-position
rows featuring 24-30 spirals for snacks and cold drinks.

Like Saeco’s other vending machines, Diamante is named after one of the world’s most valued gems, a diamond,
showing Saeco’s passion and value for delivering quality, custom coffee beverages. Its distinguishing coffee feature:
at the push of a button Diamante brews coffee, grinding it fresh from whole beans. With a pre-programmable internal
grinder and doser, the strength of the coffee can be set according to preference.

Diamante also provides customers with modern style. A rich gold and red exterior includes a standard or changeable
backlit graphic. Other Diamante features include:

• Water tank or plumbed water line


• 220 8-oz. cup capacity with automatic cup dispenser


• Option to override the automatic cup drop to accommodate a 12 oz. mug


• Easy, environmentally friendly cleaning
