Office Coffee Machines – How to buy.

Office Coffee Machines reward your staff and customers with superb tasting fresh espresso coffee drinks and specialty hot beverages at the touch of the button. Most countries of the world have  become have become increasingly sophisticated drinkers of coffee and the benefits of providing staff and customers quality and choice in their office coffee has been well recognized by many leading companies.

Office Coffee machine capacity (usage) is usually divided into three criteria.

  • Light volume for small offices – serving between to 30-80 cups a day
  • Medium volume -for medium sized offices  serving 100-200 cups a day
  • High volume for larger offices – serving 250+ cups a day

Milk Options:
Perhaps the most important thing to consider when choosing an Office Coffee Machine is whether to go for a model with a Fresh or Powdered Milk. While some office coffee machine models are strictly powdered milk only, many models have the option of an ‘add on’ fresh milk unit. More expensive models may even the fully automatic milk frother built into the coffee machine – which is also refrigerated to keep the milk cool.

Powder, Granulated or Freeze Dried Milk which is stored in a canister inside your office coffee machine have come a long way in recent years and may suite those who do not want the inconvenience or additional upfront and ongoing cost of fresh milk – although this is some trade off with sacrificing overall drink quality.
Expansion
Office Coffee Machines may include options for both additional bean hoppers and additional powder canisters. This gives extra capacity for busy periods, the option of a decaffeinated coffee as well as offering specialty drinks such as flavoured coffees, hot chocolate and chai.

Selections
Different Office Coffee Machines will have differing numbers of pre-programmed selections. The more sophisticated the machine the more drink style and cup size selections are available.
Manufacturers
When choosing your Office Coffee Machine it is important to buy from a reputable supplier and choose a model from a recognised manufacture – such as HLF, N&W, Schaerer or Saeco. This will ensure that your purchase is well supported with warranty, servicing and parts for many years.
Equipment Finance
All good Office Coffee suppliers will offer a range of equipment finance options to ensure the purchase of your office coffee solutions meets the cash flow requirements of your business. This includes pay per cup, rent-try-buy, lease or outright purchase.

Youeni Foodstore - Surry Hills, Sydney, Australia

Wed, 16 May 2012 19:10:36 PDT

Location: Sydney, Australia Just opened this week, and pretty close to their other store - but it seems to be working for them. Pretty incredible looking food and fresh baked pastries everyday - they're making everything in house, and apparently roasting their own beans too. The service was sharp and a little old-school (just maybe the good-old-fashioned-service has returned?!). While I waited...

Telescope, Paris, France

Tue, 15 May 2012 11:38:03 PDT

Location: Paris, France Just up from Palais Royal and the Louvre, this bright little cafe served me a stunning, thick, creamy macchiato to go. With amazing coffee hard to find in Paris, I'll definitely be making a beeline for this cafe again, and will make the time to take a seat and grab a cake too. Shame I was on the go!!


Vertigo Cafe & Bar, Gold Coast, Australia

Mon, 14 May 2012 17:46:22 PDT

We had their gourmet sandwiches and a coffee for lunch and it was the best we have had in a very long time will be back for sure.
