Automatic raw milk vending machines in Ljubljana, Slovenia


While visiting Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, we've seen for the first time automatic raw milk vending machines.

Take a look for yourself:









We've read the instructions and observed one lady using the machines: it all seems very easy and practical.

  1. Nice story and pictures. Did you find these sort of machines in other places around Europe as well, or was this very unusual.

    Hope you don't mind that I reuse your material in this post on the Bovine:

  2. Hello Michael and thanks for stopping by.

    We do not mind you using our material, as long as you mention the source.

    We did not encounter anywhere else in Europe these machines, but we read that they are also used in Italy.

    Best regards,

    Elena & Marius

  4. We remember exactly where we found it: it's at one end of the central market in Ljubljana, at the junction between 2 small streets: "vodnikov trg" and "dolnicarjeva ulica"

    Good luck with your project!

  5. Hello! We have a milk vending machine near Vicenza in Italy...there is a life-size statue of a cow in front of the vending area, where you can purchase the bottle then have the milk dispensed into it.
