Office Coffee Machines for Your Business

The right office machine turns the kettle and the jar of granules into something people actually look forward to. A bean to cup machine grinds fresh beans for every drink and pours cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites and americanos to a cafe standard. An instant machine mixes a quality freeze dried coffee with hot water for a fast, hot, consistent cup. Either way it is a full menu at the press of a button, with no barista, no training and no queue.

And it is not only the coffee drinkers who are covered. Hot chocolate keeps the non-coffee drinkers happy, and a decaf option means nobody is left out in the afternoon. Whoever walks up to the machine gets the drink they want, made to the same standard every time, which is exactly what keeps people using it day after day.

The right machine depends on how many people use it and how busy the rush gets, not just the headcount. A small office is well served by a compact machine like the JL36 bean to cup or the Platinum Mini instant. A medium office wants the throughput of a JL38 Fresh Milk or a Quattro. A larger floor, where everyone arrives for coffee at the same time, needs a high footfall machine like the Platinum Espresso that keeps pouring through the morning.

The other choice is bean to cup or instant. Bean to cup is the one to pick when the quality of the coffee matters and you want fresh ground drinks. Instant is the simplest to run and the fastest through a queue. If you want to think it through properly, our guide to the best coffee machine for an office walks through how to choose, and our complete office coffee guide covers the wider picture.

An office machine has to cope with the 9am rush and the post-lunch one, then sit quietly the rest of the day, and it has to be usable by everyone from the new starter to the managing director with no training at all. The machines here are built for exactly that: a clear touchscreen, a drink in seconds to a minute, and the build to pour all day without missing a beat.

They are also built to be left to get on with it. The cleaning routines are designed around a busy office where nobody is dedicated to the machine, so keeping it in good shape is straightforward rather than a job in itself. The machine that just works, so the coffee is never the thing anyone has to think about.

Good office coffee is a smaller investment than most businesses expect, and you do not have to find it all up front. Buy the machine outright, or spread the cost with flexible lease finance to suit your cashflow, whichever works better for the business.

Every quote is built around the exact machine and setup your office needs rather than a one size figure, so the best way to a real number is to tell us about your office. Our guide to what a commercial coffee machine costs sets the wider picture in context.

Our engineers carry out the full installation in person. They deliver and position the machine, plumb it in and fit the water filter, then calibrate it and tune the drinks menu to your taste, dialling in the strength, the size and the milk on each drink so the office serves coffee exactly the way it wants it. Nothing is signed off until every drink is tested and pouring properly.

After that you have one company behind the machine, for the coffee, the ingredients and any technical support you need, and the same people each time who know your setup and answer when you call. That is how we have looked after UK businesses since 2009.
