What is a bean to cup coffee machine?

A commercial bean to cup machine grinds fresh coffee beans on demand and pours a finished drink at the press of a button. Espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte and flat white all prepared to the same standard every time, by whoever happens to be using the machine.

Our range covers fresh milk and powdered milk configurations, all built to handle daily commercial use.

Why choose bean to cup

Bean to cup machines give you quality coffee with very little effort. Every cup is freshly ground, automatically brewed and consistently poured, whether you are serving thirty drinks a day or three hundred.

With heavy duty components and a high boiler capacity, the machines are built to keep pace through a full working day with only minutes of daily upkeep.

What you get when you buy one from Split Bean

Every machine we supply comes with engineer install, water filter, delivery and your first 6kg of coffee, all included as standard. We configure every machine to suit how your business operates, from drink sizes and milk format to adding your own branding on the front panel where it fits.

After install, you have one team handling your coffee, supplies and any engineer support you need, wherever your business is.

Common questions about commercial bean to cup coffee machines

What is the best commercial bean to cup coffee machine?
It depends on the business. The right machine is the one that matches your daily volume, your milk format and how much time someone can give to cleaning. A compact fresh milk machine fits a small office well. A larger fresh milk machine covers a busy hotel breakfast service. A powdered milk machine fits a workplace that wants the coffee without the daily milk line cleaning. Get in touch and we will tell you which one fits the way your business runs.
How does a commercial bean to cup coffee machine work?
The user presses a button or selects a drink on a touchscreen. The grinder doses and grinds fresh beans into the brewing chamber. The machine tamps the coffee, then forces hot water through the bed under pressure to extract the shot. Milk drinks are produced by either an automatic fresh milk system that draws from a chilled supply and foams it through a steam pipe, or a powdered topping canister that mixes with hot water. The whole cycle takes 20 to 40 seconds.
How long does a commercial bean to cup coffee machine last?
Easily over five years with proper cleaning and yearly engineer visits. Lifespan tracks cleaning more than anything else. From our experience, eight in ten of the faults we are called out to come down to inadequate cleaning rather than a mechanical issue. Look after the machine and it will keep going for years past that.
Do bean to cup machines need to be plumbed in?
Most commercial bean to cup coffee machines are plumbed into mains water. Some compact bean to cup machines have a built in water tank as standard, which means they can run from a wall socket alone where mains plumbing is not practical. A water filter is essential on every commercial bean to cup machine regardless of the water source. Scale is the most common cause of premature failure.
How often does a bean to cup machine need cleaning?
Daily. Bean to cup machines need a daily flush of the brewer and milk system. Once a week the brewer takes a cleaning tablet. Once a quarter the machine needs descaling. Modern bean to cup machines automate most of this on a schedule, but they still need someone to start the cycle and load the cleaning tablet. Fresh milk machines need an extra five to ten minutes of milk line cleaning daily, every day, without exception.
Can someone who is not a barista use a bean to cup machine?
Yes. That is the entire point of the bean to cup category. A new starter can make a flat white on their first morning without anyone showing them how. The machine doses, tamps, brews and pours in one cycle. The only training needed is the daily cleaning routine, which takes about five minutes on a fresh milk machine and about two on a powdered milk machine.
