[Electronics-Talk] Accessible vending Machines

[Kyle Garcia]

Hello,

I am doing some research for my work on what accessible vending machines
options are out there and figured it would be worth seeing if anyone on
this list has some leads. Does anyone know of any particular models that
are more accessible than average? Similarly, are there any exceptionally
inaccessible ones to avoid? We currently have a snack and drink machine at
each of our locations, with not all locations having the same models.
While both at my worksite can be operated with keypads there have been
complaints from associates having difficulty using the machines
non-visually. My supervisor is open to other types of machines as well if
there is say a super accessible coffee or food machine that we could add as
an additional option.

Thank you in advance,
