About the Brand
Mythos is a bean-to-cup coffee machine brand built in South Africa, created to solve the reliability and servicing headaches that imported machines often bring into local homes, offices and hospitality venues. Rather than chasing complexity, Mythos designs every model around consistent, one-touch performance — machines built to work hard daily and stay simple to maintain. It has become one of the trusted names in South Africa's fully-automatic coffee machine space, backed by Buna's own local support and servicing.
The Product
The Mythos Icon is one of the largest machines in the Mythos automatic range, built for high-traffic offices and reception areas that need serious daily throughput. A 10.1" touchscreen and 30+ programmable selections put a full drink menu at anyone's fingertips, while twin powder hoppers add hot chocolate and other instant drinks alongside your fresh coffee.
The Icon 2G variant takes this further with two adjustable grinders and two 1.2kg bean hoppers for running dual bean options side by side — contact us for details and availability.
Add an optional payment system, and the Icon becomes a fully self-service coffee point.
Key Features
10.1" Full-Colour Touchscreen (Large, Clear Interface)
A bigger display than the rest of the Mythos range, built for high-footfall spots where multiple people are selecting drinks throughout the day.
Dual Boiler System (Coffee & Milk At Once)
Coffee and milk brew and steam simultaneously, keeping queues moving during busy periods.
30+ Programmable Selections (Extensive Drink Menu)
A wide programmable menu covers espresso-based drinks and more, so one machine serves a full range of preferences.
Twin Powder Hoppers (Hot Chocolate & Instant Drinks)
Two dedicated powder hoppers sit alongside the bean hopper for chocolate or other instant beverages, without touching your fresh coffee setup.
Mains Water Connection (No Refilling)
Plumbed directly into your water line, so there's no tank to top up during a busy day.
Hot Water Outlet (Tea & More)
A dedicated hot water tap covers tea and other hot drinks without running them through the coffee system.
Optional Payment System (Self-Service Ready)
Add a payment gateway to charge staff, customers or the public per drink — ask us for details on compatible systems.
Integrated Milk & Coffee Cleaning (Built-In Hygiene)
Automated cleaning cycles on both the coffee and milk sides keep the Icon hygienic under heavy daily use, and every unit ships with 100 Ecozone cleaning tablets and 1 litre of milk-frother steriliser to get you started.
Who It's Built For
The Icon is built for busy offices, reception areas and self-service coffee points that need to serve a large number of people daily without a queue forming. If you're weighing up a payment system for unattended service, or simply need Mythos' highest daily volume in a single machine, this is it — the biggest screen, the widest menu, built to keep up.
