Direct to Consumer

The frustrations a customer experiences with books being of out-of-stock, out-of-print, and delayed by delivery are eliminated. Readers are getting exactly what they want, when they want it, and publishers never miss a sale.

Worldwide Expansion

The compact size of the Espresso Book Machine® 2.0 (3.8 feet wide by 2.7 feet deep by 4.5 feet high) dramatically expands the opportunity to place machines in a variety of retail and library environments worldwide. More sites mean more opportunities for selling your books.

Reach regional localized markets. Streamline the import and export of books by avoiding costly fees and tariffs that are typically incurred when shipping physical copies internationally.
