Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this page for?

CafΓ©s, offices, hotels, restaurants, schools, gyms and hospitality venues looking to buy and own a commercial coffee machine with expert guidance, installation and ongoing technical support from Redber.

What types of commercial machines do you sell?

Bean-to-cup, traditional espresso, bulk/filter brew and instant ingredient machinesβ€”plus grinders, boilers and accessories. If you’re unsure, we’ll help you choose based on drinks menu, staff skill and footfall.

How do I size a machine for my business? (cups per day)

A simple rule of thumb:

  • Up to ~30 cups/day: compact office/low-volume bean-to-cup
  • Up to ~80 cups/day: mid-volume bean-to-cup or small espresso set-up
  • Up to ~150 cups/day: high-volume bean-to-cup or 2-group espresso

    These brackets are widely used by UK suppliers and are a reliable starting point. We’ll refine with you on a call.

Should I choose bean-to-cup or traditional espresso?

Bean-to-cup: push-button consistency, faster training, ideal for offices or service teams without barista experience.


Traditional espresso: the barista workflow and craft control for cafΓ©s/bars; usually paired with a separate grinder and more training.

Plumbed or hand-fill? What’s best?

Plumbed machines suit higher volumes and reduce refilling; hand-fill (tank) models can work for lower volumes or where plumbing isn’t possible. We’ll confirm site water access during your quote.

Do I need water filtration?

Yesβ€”filtration protects boilers, improves taste and reduces scale-related breakdowns. We’ll specify the correct cartridge and changeover schedule with your machine.

Fresh milk or powdered milk systems?

Fresh-milk systems deliver the best latte/cappuccino texture and taste; powdered can be acceptable in self-serve or unmanned sites. We supply both and will match to your hygiene and staffing needs.

What does Redber include when I buy a machine?

Expert pre-sales advice, installation and ongoing technical support are core to our offer; training and preventative servicing plans can be added to suit your team and volume. Redber is your complete one-stop shop for every coffee solution – from freshly roasted coffee beans and commercial machines to business consumables, accessories, and ongoing supply – everything your cafΓ©, office, school, university, gym, hotel, or hospitality venue needs under one trusted partner.

What power do these machines need?

Many bean-to-cup and 1-group setups run on a standard 13A socket; high-output espresso (e.g., 2–3 group or large boilers) can require higher amperage and a dedicated spur. We’ll confirm electrical requirements on your chosen model before installation.

What space do I need?

Allow footprint for the machine plus grinder/tamping area (for espresso), milk fridge (for fresh-milk bean-to-cup), knock-out drawer, and safe ventilation/clearances. If counter depth is tight, ask us for compact options.

How often should the machine be cleaned?

Little-and-often. Purge and wipe the steam wand every use, backflush/rinse groups during and after service (espresso), and run daily cleaning cycles on bean-to-cup machines. This improves flavour and extends life. We’ll provide a cleaning kit and routine.

What about servicing and warranty?

We’ll outline a preventative maintenance schedule (e.g., 6–12-month services based on volume) and warranty specifics per brand. Our technical team supports you long-term with parts, labour and remote diagnostics where available.

How long does delivery and installation take?

Lead times vary by brand, colour and spec. In-stock models can be installed quickly; custom colours or specials take longer. We’ll confirm ETA at quote stage and book installation to minimise downtime.

Can you train our team?

Yesβ€”introductory barista training (espresso) or operational training (bean-to-cup) is available with every install so your team serves consistent drinks from day one.

Do you supply grinders, boilers and accessories?

Yesβ€”commercial grinders, hot water boilers, filtration, barista tools, cleaning consumables and more, all on the same invoice if required.

How do I get a tailored recommendation and quote?
