Commercial Bean to Cup Coffee Machines

Why Choose a Commercial Bean to Cup Coffee Machine

The demand for quick, hot, and fresh coffee can be high in environments like offices, bars, restaurants, waiting rooms, and showrooms. A commercial bean-to-cup coffee machine is more than capable of delivering a wide range of popular espresso-based drinks, from lattes and cappuccinos to much more. This eliminates the need for a fully-trained barista, making it an ideal solution for businesses of all sizes.

Also known as “one-touch” machines, or sometimes “super automatic” machines, they can prepare an entire coffee with a single button press, offering ultimate convenience for both customers and staff.

They require minimal effort from the user: simply keep the hopper filled with coffee beans, the water tank topped up (some models can even be connected to the mains), and regularly empty the waste bin and drip tray.

What is the best commercial bean to cup coffee machine?

The best machine can mean different things depending on the needs. If you have a good idea about your needs and buy, lease, or rent a machine from a reputable reseller who can also offer maintenance (looking at ourselves), you will be in a good position to have your coffee needs sorted.

How to choose the right bean to cup coffee machine

As with any significant investment in your business, it is essential to consider a few key factors before purchasing a coffee machine.

Each machine comes with different features tailored to specific sectors of the market. Some models offer functionalities that others do not.

We have created this guide to help you make the best decision for your coffee shop, café, catering business, or establishment.

How much coffee are you likely to produce?

For most businesses, this will be one of the most critical factors when selecting a machine. A solid estimate is all you need to make an informed choice about what best suits your needs.

Typically, entry-level automatic coffee machines can produce up to 100 cups of coffee over a 24-hour period. Meanwhile, premium or high-capacity models can brew upwards of 300 drinks per day.

We offer machines that cater to both ends of this spectrum, as well as options that fall in between. If you expect to exceed a machine’s maximum capacity, we usually recommend scaling up.

It is often more expensive to replace a machine that fails to meet your minimum requirements than to invest in one with a slightly higher capacity. Overestimating your coffee production needs is generally a more prudent approach.

What is your serving method?

These machines offer excellent flexibility. Bean-to-cup machines are ideal for busy self-service locations due to their ease of use. Customers can simply press a button to enjoy a perfectly brewed speciality coffee without requiring dedicated staff.

Thanks to technological advancements, some machines in our range now offer even greater ease of use with touchscreen functionality.

A touchscreen enhances the user experience by providing additional features and benefits that push-button models may lack. This is particularly valuable in settings where multiple users will operate the machine.

Who is going to be responsible for maintenance?

Before you pull the trigger, learn more about the machine’s maintenance needs.

Some machines can self-clean themselves and require very little maintenance from staff. Other machines can be more needy and require regular visits from a professional.

Knowing your machine’s needs could enable you to foresee costs and calculate your return on investment. Ultimately, this is a business investment.
