milk dispensers cost from 350k to 600k,that is second hand being the cheapest but you can also import.
Milk must be pasteurized to be dispensed by this machine.(I can connect you with a guy who sells pasteurised milk)
You don't need to keep cows to do that.
Its a very good business.


@Wazuaguest,
I beg to differ with you. Milk dispensers do handle raw milk thus making it cheaper to consumers.I guess that is where the money is as long as you are not far from your milk source.

@Heri,
I do not know of a local person/organisation dealing with MDs but one thing i am certain is that the best dispensers are Italian.


The milk dispensers in Nairobi if not the whole of Kenya only vend pasteurized milk. That is the Kenya Dairy Board specification.....only processed milk to be sold!!!

Exactly! You cannot do raw milk. It is illegal to sell unprocessed milk. KDB officials told me it's OK to boil if you can afford it.

The main thing is to protect consumers from diseases brought about by consuming raw milk


Milk pasteurization is heating miok to temps up in the region of 72 degrees centigrade...Now the miok usually being dispensed is very cold...this means the machine could be consuming a lot of energy in terms of electricity.

Heating the miok to 72 deg cels and then cooling it down to 4 degrees is not a juok...this could easily eat into your perceived earnings.

On must really consider the cost of energy before setting up this business.

My cents!


Thanks. @ Wa P Can you comment on this? i was under the impression that you buy the milk from the supplier when it is already pasteurised?


Yes. The supplier should provide pasteurized milk. Yours is to keep it cool.

Will write to you later this week.


@Wa P, i am still waiting for your email. Please appreciate if you can send it

We had a bar discussion on the mushrooming Milk 'ATM' dispenser business and one guy came-up with a fresh idea, worth our dissecting.

Where was all this milk being dispensed 3 years ago?. Are our daily farmers getting the benefits of this dispenser?, Are we buying real milk from all this 'ATMs', If the milk from ATM is supposed to be pasteurized, how come it taste so different from sachet packed 'Fresha', 'Tuzo' etc?.
How come you rearly get 'no stock' on this dispensers?.

Could we be drinking something else other than the milk as we know it?.
....He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion..

hiyo ya atm ndio original taste. Za akina 'Fresha', 'Tuzo' ndio fake
The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.

Read an article a while back of how unscrupulous business men were selling artificial milk especially in Urban areas. The chemical concentration of the ATM milk is way higher than the conventional large scale processors

But generally I think we have become a man eat Man society

An example
