THE PERFECT BUILD FOR FOODIES & LEGO® FANS.
​Here's how it works

Inserting a Coin

The machine accepts ~24mm dia. coins (25¢ USD, 25¢ CAD, €0.50, £0.10, etc) and rejects others via coin return.

Unlocking the Dispensers

Upon payment, the mechanism unlocks for the customer to serve themselves pudding through pure mechanics.

Pouring the Ingredients

By turning the big cookie, pneumatics dispense milk, gears dispense pudding powder, and a conveyor belt dispenses a cookie—all at once.

Mixing the Pudding

The pudding cup slides to a mixing station, where a device mixes the milk and powder together.

Retrieving the Money

Hidden in plain sight, the owner can collect their earnings by removing the camouflaged coin tray.

Restocking the Machine

The roof comes off in three panels, allowing for easy refills, and there is easy access to the milk.
