In short

The short version

Eversys Legacy is a compact Swiss super-automatic (De’Longhi Group) for those who need espresso from freshly ground beans: 2 kinds of milk, purchase at ~₽1.3–1.6M plus service. DrinkX is a Russian self-service station for traffic and menu breadth: a single drink in ~25–35 seconds, 4 kinds of milk and 10 syrups, telemetry, rent from ₽150,000/mo with installation and service. The choice comes down to what matters more: bean worship — or serving speed, menu, turnkey self-service and a CAPEX-free start.

  • You need menu breadth: 4 milks, 10 syrups, seasonal drinks across the network
  • A CAPEX-free start matters — rent from ₽150,000/mo with service
  • You need an identical cup at every location — as in Pyaterochka, VkusVill, Day2Day

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How is the DrinkX station different from Eversys Legacy?

They are different concepts. Eversys Legacy is a Swiss super-automatic built around freshly ground beans: 150 cups/hour, 2 kinds of milk, no built-in syrups, purchase at ~₽1.3–1.6M. DrinkX is a Russian self-service station: up to 100 drinks per hour, 4 kinds of milk and 10 syrups, telemetry and OTA menu, unattended operation, rent from ₽150,000/mo with service.

How much does Eversys Legacy cost in Russia?

Per open Russian dealer price lists as of July 2026, the Eversys Legacy L’2m (milk version) costs roughly ₽1.27–1.57M. Service is paid separately. Prices change — check with dealers.

Which is better for unattended self-service?

DrinkX is designed as a turnkey self-service station and runs with no staff at the machine. Eversys officially lists self-service as a Legacy scenario, but payment and unattended mode are handled by third-party solutions. For a fully unattended location, DrinkX is the simpler ready-made format.

Eversys uses beans — is DrinkX worse?

DrinkX runs on Bag-in-Box espresso: no grinders, grinding or grounds. The upside is a consistent cup at every location and less maintenance; the honest downside is that it is not freshly ground beans — if classic bean espresso is critical to your concept, look at Eversys or its peers.

Can you rent DrinkX instead of buying an Eversys?

Yes — that is one of the key ownership differences: the DrinkX station is available by subscription from ₽150,000/mo with installation, service and telemetry, no upfront CAPEX. Eversys in Russia is sold as an equipment purchase.

Which is faster — Eversys or DrinkX?

It depends on the metric. Eversys Legacy+’s rated “up to 150 cups/hour” is a peak lab figure achieved by dispensing two cups simultaneously; a single milk drink cycle is noticeably longer. In self-service, guests order one cup at a time, so the time per single drink is what decides: for DrinkX it is ~25–35 seconds, cappuccino included. For a self-service queue, DrinkX is faster.
