Commercial Coffee Machines for Offices, Cafés & Hospitality

Whether you run a modern office, a bustling café, a hotel breakfast room or a school canteen, we’ll help you serve consistently great coffee, tea and hot chocolate to staff and customers.

Why invest in a quality commercial machine? UK employees drink an estimated three to four cups of coffee per day, and workplace coffee breaks are integral to productivity and employee satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing the Right Machine

What’s the difference between bean‑to‑cup and traditional espresso machines?

Bean‑to‑cup machines grind beans and brew drinks automatically at the touch of a button, making them ideal for offices and self‑service areas. Traditional espresso machines require a trained barista to prepare drinks but offer more control and authenticity for cafés and restaurants.

How do I select a machine based on the number of staff or customers?

Estimate drinks per day: up to 50 cups suits a compact bean‑to‑cup or pod machine; 50–100 cups suits a larger bean‑to‑cup or twin‑group espresso machine; 100+ cups may require multiple machines or a professional espresso set‑up.

Can one machine serve coffee, tea and hot chocolate?

Many bean‑to‑cup machines have multiple canisters for coffee beans, powdered chocolate and powdered milk, enabling a variety of hot beverages. Please ask about multi‑drink options when requesting a quote.

Do you supply machines with fresh milk systems?

Yes. Machines such as Jura and La Radiosa use fresh milk for barista‑style texture. Powdered milk models require less cleaning and maintenance.

Pricing, Leasing & Finance

Is it better to buy or lease a commercial coffee machine?

Leasing spreads the cost over time and often includes servicing and maintenance. Lease payments can be offset as an operating expense. Purchasing delivers long‑term ownership and may be more cost‑effective for established businesses with capital.

How much does it cost to lease a commercial machine per week?

Lease rates vary depending on the type and specification of the machine. Pricing starts with compact bean‑to‑cup or bulk‑brew models and rises with higher‑capacity espresso and instant‑ingredients machines. To explore payment plans and calculate an exact weekly cost for your chosen machine, please see our Lease page. Our team can also provide a tailored quote for your business on request.

Are lease payments tax‑deductible?

In many cases they are, as they can be classed as business expenses, but you should confirm with your accountant to ensure compliance.

Do you offer finance plans for start‑ups and seasonal businesses?

Yes. We provide flexible rental agreements and short‑term leases with the option to upgrade as your business grows.

Delivery, Installation & Support

Do you deliver across the UK?

Absolutely. We deliver, install and service machines nationwide, including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Edinburgh and beyond.

What is included in the installation?

Our technicians install and set up the machine, calibrate it to your water supply, and provide a full demonstration. We ensure your machine is ready to use from day one.

Is barista training provided?

Yes. We offer basic barista training for staff at installation. Additional training sessions and advanced courses are available on request.

What maintenance plans do you offer?

We provide servicing packages covering scheduled maintenance, filter replacement and emergency call‑outs. Maintenance can be included in lease agreements or purchased separately.

Coffee Quality & Sustainability

Are your beans ethically sourced?

We offer a range of ethically sourced and Rainforest Alliance certified coffee beans. Speak to us about our sustainable blends and single‑origin coffees.

Which machines are the most energy‑efficient?

Many of our bean‑to‑cup models feature energy‑saving modes and automatic standby. We can recommend machines that help reduce electricity consumption while maintaining quality.

What should I do with used coffee grounds and waste?

Used coffee grounds are biodegradable and make excellent compost or fertiliser for plants. You can add them directly to your compost heap or sprinkle them around garden beds to enrich the soil. For other machine waste such as packaging or filters, please follow your local recycling guidelines. If you need further advice on environmentally responsible disposal, our customer service team will be happy to help.

Business‑Specific Needs

Which machines are best for offices?

For offices with 10–50 employees, compact bean‑to‑cup machines are a great choice. They grind fresh beans on demand and typically have built‑in fresh‑milk or powdered‑milk systems, making it easy to serve a range of drinks such as espresso, cappuccino, latte and hot chocolate without specialist training. Instant ingredients machines are another option if speed and low maintenance are priorities.

For larger offices (50+ employees), opt for higher‑capacity bean‑to‑cup models with larger hoppers, dual grinders and self‑service screens so multiple users can select drinks simultaneously. In very large corporate environments you may want to install multiple machines or consider a micro‑market setup to cope with demand. Whichever size you choose, look for energy‑efficient models with automatic cleaning cycles to minimise maintenance and downtime.

What’s suitable for cafés and restaurants?

Independent cafés and restaurants typically benefit from traditional espresso machines, which provide baristas with full control over grind size, water temperature and extraction, enabling them to deliver consistent espresso shots and textured milk drinks quickly.

Two‑group or three‑group machines allow multiple drinks to be prepared simultaneously during busy periods, and pairing them with a high‑quality grinder ensures freshness and flavour. In establishments where staff turnover is high or barista skills are limited, high‑capacity bean‑to‑cup machines can be invaluable as a supplementary option. These machines grind beans and froth milk automatically, allowing waiting staff to serve espresso‑based drinks at the touch of a button without interrupting the barista on the main espresso machine.

Do you have solutions for hotels or self‑service areas?

Yes. We supply a range of contactless and coin‑operated bean‑to‑cup machines designed for hotel breakfast rooms, conference centres and other self‑service environments. These machines accept card or token payments, offer multiple drink options (espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte, hot chocolate) and often include customisable strength and cup‑size settings. For high‑throughput areas we also offer multi‑drink vending machines stocked with instant ingredients for coffee, tea and chocolate beverages – ideal for 24‑hour service. Many of our self‑service solutions come with telemetry systems, allowing you to monitor consumption remotely and schedule cleaning or refilling efficiently.

Can you provide bespoke blends or white‑label coffee?

Absolutely. In addition to supplying machines, we roast and package coffee under custom labels for cafés, hotels and corporate clients. Our bespoke service lets you collaborate with our roasting team to create a signature blend tailored to your preferred flavour profile, whether that’s a bold espresso, a smooth filter coffee or a seasonal single origin. We can design and print packaging with your brand name, logo and story, allowing you to serve or retail a unique “house coffee” that reinforces your identity and encourages customer loyalty.

Minimum order quantities are flexible and our team can guide you on choosing ethically sourced beans, certifications and marketing collateral to support your white‑label offering.

Ordering & After‑Sales

How do I request a quote or place an order?

Use our online enquiry form, or call 01483 80 85 80 and talk with one of our consultants.

Do you offer bulk discounts for multi‑site businesses?

Yes. Multi‑site businesses and corporate chains can benefit from volume pricing and centralised servicing contracts.

Can I upgrade or swap my machine mid‑lease?

Depending on your lease agreement, upgrades or swaps may be possible. Speak to your account manager for options and fees.

Coffee is a big thing in our business, we have meeting and events spaces in central Birmingham , Manchester, Leeds and Glasgow and serve in the region of 150,000 customers a year, the hot drinks as part of our package is unlimited, so it’s a BIG number of hot beverages to be serving and we need it to be right and we want our customers to enjoy the offer and appreciate the importance we place on quality products.

Having wasted countless money on lesser machines, I bought this machine for our office. Definitely worth the investment. Easy to use, easy clean, what's not to love.
