What is an instant coffee machine?

A commercial instant coffee machine is one of the simplest machines you can buy. Soluble ingredients sit in canisters inside the machine, and at the press of a button the powder mixes with hot water to pour a finished drink. Espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte, hot chocolate, mocha and more, all from a single touchscreen with no barista needed.

Their simplicity makes them easy to use, easy to maintain and a sensible choice for almost any business serving coffee.

Why choose instant

If you want a reliable, professional cup of coffee with very little complication, a commercial instant machine is the right choice. Drinks dispense quickly, so busy sites can keep everyone moving without queues.

Cost per cup on quality ingredients stays low, and the daily routine is a couple of minutes of upkeep. The result is consistent, quality coffee that almost anyone can serve.

Common questions about commercial instant coffee machines

What is the best commercial instant coffee machine?
It depends on where the machine is going. For back of house staff kitchens, contractor sites and high volume locations, a larger machine usually fits best, built to handle the daily demands of a busier site. For receptions and front of house locations where the machine is visible to visitors, a more compact machine with a narrower footprint and the option for branded panels is usually the better answer. Get in touch and we will tell you which one fits the way your business runs.
How does a commercial instant coffee machine work?
The user presses a drink button. A precise dose of freeze dried coffee powder is released from a canister into a mixing bowl. Hot water from the boiler is added at the right temperature and the drink is whisked and poured into the cup. Milk drinks use a second canister of powdered cappuccino topping, and chocolate drinks like hot chocolate and mocha use a third canister of chocolate as standard. The whole cycle is quick.
How long does a commercial instant coffee machine last?
Easily over five years when looked after correctly, with yearly engineer visits. Instant machines have a very simple cleaning routine, which means they reach and pass the manufacturer lifespan reliably when looked after. From our experience, eight in ten of the faults we are called out to come down to inadequate cleaning rather than a mechanical issue, and the simple cleaning routine on instant machines makes them easy to keep on top of.
Do commercial instant coffee machines need to be plumbed in?
Most commercial instant coffee machines are plumbed into mains water. Some also offer a pumped tank fed version where mains plumbing is not practical. Either way, a water filter is essential. Scale is the most common cause of premature failure on any commercial coffee machine.
How often does a commercial instant coffee machine need cleaning?
Daily flush morning and evening. The flush pushes water through the mixing bowls and clears any residue. The whole process takes a couple of minutes and runs at the press of a button on most machines. Once a month the canisters, pipes and mixing bowls come out and go through a dishwasher. Modern commercial instant machines use push fit connectors throughout, so disassembly takes no tools and no manuals.
What kind of milk does an instant coffee machine use?
Powdered cappuccino topping in a canister. The machine mixes the powder with hot water, whisks it and pours the drink in seconds. The cappuccino topping we supply gives you a smooth, milky cup that drinkers actually enjoy.
