Korean-Style F301-V Coffee Machine Specs

If you’ve ever walked into a small Korean cafe and seen a compact, coin-operated coffee machine pumping out drinks with little effort, you’ve likely encountered something like the F301-V. But whether you’re looking to install one in your shop or just curious how these machines work under the hood, there’s a lot more to them than meets the eye.

The F301-V is a 16kg, 800W Korean-style coffee machine with two 2500g ingredient hoppers, space for 80 paper cups (6.5–9oz), and customizable brew settings including temperature, dose, and water volume per drink. It also tracks individual drink sales and includes automatic cleaning functions.

What Is the F301-V Coffee Machine?

The F301-V is a commercial-grade, semi-automatic coffee machine designed primarily for environments like convenience stores, offices, or small cafes. It features a straightforward design tailored for efficiency and ease of maintenance, with built-in functionality for multiple beverage options and payment via coin mechanism.

Technical Specifications Breakdown

The machine runs on AC220V/50Hz power and draws 800W, making it suitable for standard electrical setups in many countries. It measures 300mm (W) × 480mm (D) × 630mm (H) and weighs 16kg, so it’s built for stability but still portable enough for relocation within a venue.

Water is supplied via a built-in 2.7-liter tank, which sits inside the unit. For longer operation or higher volume settings, an external water supply can be connected thanks to its upper-positioned pure water bucket input.

It includes two separate ingredient hoppers, each capable of holding 2500g of coffee or other beverage powders. This allows for offering two different drinks without needing to refill constantly. The machine accommodates standard 73–74mm paper cups, serving both 6.5oz and 9oz sizes from the same cup holder—ideal for flexible drink sizing.

Programmable Functions and User Features

A major advantage of the F301-V is its programmability. Operators can set individual parameters for each beverage, including:

• Water volume per shot
• Ingredient (powder) dosage
• Beverage price
• Custom water temperature

These settings allow for fine-tuning the taste and cost of each drink according to local preferences or inventory. The machine also includes an automatic cleaning cycle and a full self-diagnostic system to ensure consistent performance and reduce manual maintenance.

Tracking sales is simple: the F301-V logs the number of cups sold per beverage, helping owners monitor which drinks are most popular. Payment is handled through a dedicated coin recognizer, although models supporting other payment types may be available depending on configuration.

Design and Usability Notes

Built for high-use scenarios, the F301-V is relatively compact yet robust. Its internal layout is designed to minimize downtime, with features like auto-cleaning and diagnostics ensuring smooth daily operation. The 80-cup storage fits neatly within the chassis, and the dual hoppers help streamline multi-drink service without frequent refills.

The 73–74mm cup size compatibility means it works with common paper cup dimensions used for both 6.5oz and 9oz drinks. That flexibility is useful in settings where offering varied portion sizes helps with both upselling and customer choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size cups does the F301-V coffee machine use?

The F301-V uses 73–74mm diameter paper cups, which are compatible with both 6.5oz and 9oz drink sizes. This lets you serve smaller espresso-based drinks or larger coffee beverages from the same cup holder.

How much coffee can the F301-V hold at once?

The machine has two separate ingredient hoppers, each with a capacity of 2500g. That means you can load up to 5000g of coffee or beverage powder total, reducing the need for frequent refilling in high-traffic environments.

The standard model includes a dedicated coin recognition system for payment. Other payment modules (like card readers or mobile payments) may be available as add-ons or in alternate configurations, but the base model is coin-operated.

How often does the F301-V need cleaning?

The F301-V features an automatic cleaning function to reduce manual intervention. However, depending on usage volume, regular descaling and component checks are recommended to maintain performance and hygiene standards.

What is the power requirement for the F301-V?

The machine operates on AC220V/50Hz electrical input and consumes 800W. Ensure your location’s power supply matches these specifications or use an appropriate transformer for safe operation.
