These coke machines are American ones, and they have always non metric units like psi and oz on them. Any food machine manufactured in metric countries carries metric units. I have seen these American coke machines with psi and oz on them in The Netherlands. Too bad for such companies that there are no ifp units for current and tension. And the BWMA..... enough said.
