Choosing the right coffee machine for your business isn’t always easy. With a range of different commercial coffee machines available, it is important to make sure you select the style that works best for your needs.
To help you find the perfect fit, we’ve created a useful guide to the different types of coffee machines we offer. Whether you run a café, bar, office or hospitality venue, this guide will help you identify the commercial coffee machine that best meets your requirements.
Traditional Espresso Machine
We’ve all seen them — often behind the counter at your local café or bar. Their sleek, often chrome-covered exteriors have maintained their traditional Italian flair for decades.
These machines specialise in making espresso, and they make it exceptionally well. Using freshly ground beans, boiling water is forced through the coffee grounds to create the perfect shot of espresso. To produce a wide variety of drinks, these machines include a milk frother, which uses steam to foam milk to the ideal consistency.
Traditional espresso machines are more hands-on and require barista training to create the perfect drink, as each beverage requires a different amount of milk or espresso. They are ideal for cafés, bars and hospitality settings where quality is paramount, but they do take longer to produce drinks compared to automatic office coffee machines.
Bean to Cup Machines
Bean to cup coffee machines grind fresh coffee beans automatically, meaning you don’t have to do this manually. With the push of a button, your coffee and milk are combined to create the ideal drink.
Pre-programmed with multiple drink options, these commercial bean to cup machines offer convenience and consistency. While they may have slightly fewer personalisation options than traditional espresso machines, their easy to use interface means they require minimal training.
Bean to cup machines are a popular choice for offices and workplace environments in the UK, as they provide high-quality drinks with speed and simplicity.
Liquid Roast Machines
Liquid roast machines are often the type of machine businesses are least familiar with.
When opening the machine, you’ll see sealed packs of coffee, milk or chocolate. These products arrive frozen and must be thawed before use. Each product range offers different strengths and flavour profiles, allowing you to choose the ideal taste for your staff or customers.
Liquid roast coffee machines are a practical and efficient workplace coffee solution, offering consistency and fast dispense times, making them suitable for busy office environments and high-demand areas.
Instant Machines
If you are looking for a good-quality drink with minimal fuss, an instant coffee machine may be the right option for your business.
Using powdered ingredients to create beverages — which typically have a longer shelf life than fresh products — these machines dispense drinks quickly and offer several pre-programmed drink options. Instant commercial coffee machines are an economical solution, making them a popular choice for offices, waiting areas and staff rooms where speed and cost efficiency are priorities.
