100% self-powered vending · zero CO₂

Coffee that runs on the sun and the wind.

Neo Kiosk Sun Café® is the first freshly-ground espresso vending machine that is completely energy self-sufficient. No connection, no subscription, no outage. It goes up where the grid does not reach — 24/7, 365 days a year.

Who we are

French know-how, not an imported product.

Conceived, designed and prototyped between Brittany (France) and Bulgaria. Neo Kiosk Sun Café® combines the quality of a real espresso with the complete freedom of a mobile, self-powered point of sale. Whole beans ground fresh to order, exceptional hygiene standards, and a return on investment designed to land within months.

A brand of the Smart City Led group, active since 2015. In France, UCT (Pont-de-Claix) is the exclusive distributor: that is where, near Grenoble, a showroom unit can be seen.

How it works

Free energy, coffee that never stops.

It all starts with energy. The kiosk generates its own, stores it, and uses it to grind, heat and serve. No strings attached.

01 — GENERATE

Solar + wind

A combined 2.5 kWp of capacity harvests sun and wind. The kiosk stays available at night and in bad weather.

02 — STORE

5 kWh battery

A lithium reserve guarantees service 24/7. No grid outage can stop it.

03 — SERVE

Zero-CO₂ espresso

Whole beans ground to order, extracted at high pressure and high temperature. Bar-grade quality, decarbonised at the source.

Coffee 2.0

Fresh beans. Never a pod.

Grinding to order means turning down the non-recyclable pods that clog up waste sites. It also means serving coffee that actually tastes of something, cup after cup.

  • ☕8 drinks to choose from — create your own recipes based on coffee, tea or chocolate.
  • ◉1.5 kg of beans in reserve, i.e. around 190 coffees between two visits.
  • ⚙Italian grinder, 100,000-cycle burrs, high-pressure and high-temperature extraction.
  • ♻No stirrers — mixing is handled by a programmable cyclone system.
  • ▣100% contactless payment — MDB level 3 board (card, smartphone, Apple Pay). No cash to handle.
  • ⚡2 USB ports to charge a phone in the time it takes to drink a coffee.
In real conditions

Watch it live, outdoors.

No socket, no cable : set down on the tarmac, the Sun Café® makes its own energy from sun and wind and serves espresso around the clock. The machine, filmed exactly as it really runs.
