Used these once, at a movie theater in Toronto. It was amazing being able to drink a Vanilla Coke in Canada at a movie theatre.

It's one of the only ways I can get non-diet coke with lime now. So I love it

I love experimenting with flavors, but sometimes the classic Coke or Mellow Yellow taste just isn't right. Like there was some sacrifice in squeezing all those flavors in there. Still love the idea, and can't wait to see them improve it.

Peach Sprite is delicious, so glad I chose that as my first combo. Haven't really experimented much with other flavors though. I like em but as OP said it kinda sucks it's a one person at a time kinda deal.

I can add vanilla to my Diet Barq's rootbeer. It's glorious.

The UI can be somewhat slow and unresponsive, but that can usually be solved by pressing on the screen harder. Light tapping won't work; it's not an iPhone.
When I first saw one my first inclination was to make a Grape Sprite. It's not a good drink btw. Since then I've mostly stuck to plain coke out of fear that my other demented soda dreams will turn out as horrible as the first.
I think I might of tried Coke with cherry, which distincly tasted different from Cherry Coke, but I might of been dreaming that.

They're great if you like flavored sodas i.e grape or cherry, but for me they're terrible with the basic flavors. Every time I've tried one with a basic flavor like normal Dr Pepper or Coke it always tastes like it has a bit of another flavor variant in it.

I heard they're never going to bring them to Yurop since they'll get vandalized big time.

Absolutely love these machines.
Someone with great taste. I love Melon Fanta but I've only ever had it in Japan and it's not always there.

I love them. So many options and new flavors to try.

And this. Hate that they took that off the market.
For the four of us who buy it.

Wish the Orange Coke in this was actually Mezzo Mix. Loved getting that at Club Cool at Epcot.

I didn't even know these machines allowed you to choose new flavors . I just thought it was just like a regular soda fountain

I'm such a boring person. I still get regular-ass Coke from the machine even when I have dozens of flavors to choose from that I can't get anywhere else.
I think I once had orange Coke. I've no clue why I keep not trying new ones.

The cafeteria at my work has one of these. Other than the fact that it seems to be down for maintenance a lot (not to mention the really slow UI...), it's a neat piece of machinery. The service guy was there one day, and he was showing a few of us how it worked - essentially, it's got a bunch of printer-style cartridges that hold the flavor concentrates, so it's almost like you're printing your drink...
I've never noticed any issues with 'other' flavors making it into my drinks. Whatever mechanism is used to keep the flavors separate, it seems to work pretty well.

It's nice to be able to get lime coke-ass-coke again.

I want Raspberry Coke in cans. Like now.
Always used to have them on holiday as a kid. Tastes better from a glass bottle. Idk why.
I love them, have gotten to try a lot of flavors that you don't ever see like peach Sprite.
Only issue is that they're clunky and slow (half of my button presses don't seem work). That fact combined with the dozens of choices and older people not knowing how to work the machine means there's often a line formed behind them.
With the old style machines like two or three people could fill up their drinks at once.

I'm sure this has been brought up already, but I usually still just stick with plain Coke when I use these machines and it never tastes like plain Coke. There's always a hint of some other flavor in there. THANKS COKE.
actually I think that's the only "flavor" I tried beyond normal Coke and it definitely did not taste like normal, God-Tier Cherry Coke.

I don't drink soda (I hate the taste of carbonation), so I love this because it offers great juice choices. I wish more places would adopt these, they're so nice! I might actually go to a Noodles & Company after work because I know they have one. In Wisconsin, I'm finding them to be semi-rare, and I never knew about them until last summer. I hate getting "new" things so late. I know Burger King has them now, but I don't have any Burger Kings nearby.

These are so terrible because you can taste other drinks in your drink. I just want Coke. I honestly get disappointed when I see this now because it means subpar soda for a gimmick.

the UI is slow and unresponsive but considering that the old ass coke machines most places were using are being replaced is a good thing.

Never seen one of these, but...
I never thought people actually drank the "favors" of Coke.
I mean, I knew they must get sold or else they wouldn't get produced, but I could never picture someone actually buying one of them.
I mean - vanilla, cherry, grape, raspberry, lime, etc. - in a soda?
What the heck?
You people are weird.

Is this an option or are you putting in half orange soda and half coke?
They're terrible, they taste way different from regular fountain sodas, I think the ratio of soda to syrup is off, or maybe they just use different syrup. But every single one I've used has tasted the same (Several different Five Guys, Jack in the Box, Firehouse Subs, etc., so not just one or two) and been really disappointing.
I like the idea because I like Cherry and/or Vanilla sodas, but every single soda tastes worse in them.
To be fair, you're kinda "the guy who doesn't like anything". So the fact that you don't like *thing* doesn't really hold much weight for others.
Sonic's Cherry Vanilla Coke is the bomb. Cherry Coke is great too. Not a fan of bottled Vanilla Coke, but if it's a place that adds their own vanilla flavor it's better.

Try it before you judge! Coke with Lime transformed Lime for me. It's by far my favorite soda next to cherry 7up. Prior to drinking Coke with Lime all those years ago, I hated limes and the lime flavor. Now I'm in love!

My mind was blown the first time I've seen one.
