Drinks Dispenser

A utilitarian machine embedded in the corridor wall, its metal casing dulled by frequent use. Its clear plastic reservoir glows slightly under the harsh corridor lighting, while a row of six dispensing nozzles offers a choice of beverages detectable only by faint hissing sounds and occasional colored lights along the buttons. Costa absentmindedly presses a pad, triggering a muted whirr as the selected drink drops into a collection tray below.
