Introducing the new "range"
A commercial coffee machine in the UK can cost from around £1,995 to buy outright or approximately £10.60 per week on a five-year lease.
Traditional commercial espresso machines generally start from approximately £2,979.60 to purchase or £19.10 per week on lease, while larger, higher-capacity coffee systems can cost more than £20,000.
The final price will depend on the type of machine, daily drinks volume, milk system, plumbing requirements, installation, warranty and any accessories included in the package.
At Caffia, we supply commercial coffee machines for offices, cafés, restaurants, hotels, showrooms and other customer-facing environments throughout the UK
The following figures provide a useful starting point when budgeting for a commercial coffee machine.
Two machines may both be described as commercial coffee machines but be designed for completely different environments.
A small office serving 30 drinks each day will not need the same equipment as a hotel breakfast area, busy café or self-service location producing several hundred drinks.
The main factors affecting the price are outlined below.
The first consideration is the kind of machine your business needs.
A commercial bean-to-cup coffee machine automatically grinds the coffee beans, prepares the espresso and, depending on the model, adds fresh or granulated milk.
These machines are popular in offices, showrooms, waiting areas and self-service locations because they provide consistent drinks without requiring a trained barista.
Traditional machines give the operator greater control over coffee extraction, milk texture and drink presentation.
They are often chosen by cafés, restaurants, hotels and bars where trained staff prepare each drink.
Commercial instant coffee machines can provide a wide menu of drinks quickly and with relatively simple cleaning requirements.
They are commonly used in workplaces, factories, staff areas and locations where convenience and speed are particularly important.
Filter and bulk-brew systems prepare larger quantities of coffee in advance. They can be a practical option for conferences, breakfast service, events and other high-volume environments.
Daily drinks volume is one of the most important factors when selecting a machine.
A machine designed to produce up to 50 drinks per day will usually cost less than a system built to handle several hundred drinks. Higher-capacity machines may have:
Choosing a machine based only on the lowest price can result in reliability problems if it is regularly used beyond its recommended capacity.
A properly sized machine should comfortably handle your normal daily demand as well as busier periods.
The type of milk system can also affect the purchase price and ongoing costs.
Fresh-milk machines are generally chosen by businesses wanting a more premium range of lattes, cappuccinos and flat whites. They may require a separate milk chiller and more detailed daily cleaning.
Granulated-milk machines are often easier to operate and maintain. They can be particularly suitable for staff rooms and self-service environments where simplicity is more important than fresh-milk texture.
Commercial bean-to-cup machines are available with both fresh and granulated milk systems, and the most suitable option depends on the drinks menu and how the machine will be managed each day.
Some commercial coffee machines have a water tank that must be filled manually. Others connect directly to the mains water supply.
A manual-fill machine can be less complicated to install and provides more flexibility if the machine may need to be moved.
A plumbed-in machine is usually more convenient in a busy location because staff do not need to keep refilling the water tank. However, the installation may require:
The machine price alone may therefore not represent the full cost of the finished coffee setup.
The table below shows examples of current JURA packages quoted by Caffia.
In summary, commercial bean-to-cup coffee machines currently start from around £1,995 to buy outright, £16.57 per week on a three-year lease or £10.59 per week on a five-year lease. Prices increase for higher-capacity machines, fresh-milk systems and plumbed-in models.
All prices exclude VAT, are subject to status and may change depending on the final machine package, warranty and optional extras selected.
