Staff are becoming more demanding about the quality of coffee and the best office coffee machine is likely to use fresh coffee beans and fresh milk to make the drinks. This article is designed by our family-run coffee equipment business to assist you when acquiring an office coffee machine to rent, lease or buy that is perfect for your exact needs.
Filter Coffee Brewers – Mild All-Day Coffee
These work by percolating hot water over ground coffee of the correct mixture of grinds (finer than cafetiere grind coffee but coarser than espresso grind) which normally passes through a filter paper into either a glass jug or a thermos flask.
The resulting brew is pleasant and thin on ‘body’ due to the fineness of the holes in the filter paper; aromatic, mild, pleasant and very drinkable. A filter coffee is the best office coffee machine UK for meetings and conferences and filter coffee is the fastest form of coffee for service and filter coffee’s popularity has made a comeback in recent years.
Our range of fresh filter coffees is delivered in 3 pint sachets of fresh ground coffee that is just right for 1 jug of filter coffee, there are 45 in a case and 50 basket filter papers as well
Bean-to-Cup Office Coffee Machines – On Trend
Bean to cup coffee machines are compact automatic robots performing the functions of a human barista coffee maker at the touch of a button. With a bean-to-cup you have either fresh milk or powdered milk integrated into the machine as well as fresh coffee beans.
A bean-to-cup coffee machine using fresh milk does produce a better quality caffe latte or flat white and they are also notably easier to clean in recent years. There are situations where a machine with powdered granulated milk and hot chocolate powder like the Necta Kalea Plus for example is an ideal solution.
The automation in a bean-to-cup coffee machine is very useful in offering a consistent drink with zero skill needed from your staff or visitors; undoubtedly there is an improvement in staff morale when this kind of coffee machine is fitted in an office.
Powdered skimmed milk for bean to cup office coffee machines has improved a lot in the UK over recent years and it is often 100% pure skimmed milk in agglomerated form. The myth that powder milk bean to cups are a lot easier to clean than fresh milk bean to cups is not really credible with the best office coffee machine units.

Traditional Espresso Coffee Machines – The Cafe Look
There is a place for espresso coffee machines and grinders in the office, some feel the best solution to keeping staff morale up is to have a barista on hand to knock out the flat whites and skinny lattes right within your offices.
We can quote for these with pleasure and we supply a range of 2 group and 3 group espresso coffee machines, coffee grinders, knock out drawers and of course our superb coffee beans – there are 8 types of coffee beans in our range including Fairtrade, Organic and Rainforest Alliance certified espresso coffee beans.
Instant Coffee Machines – Easy Coffee In The Office
Instant coffee machines use soluble (instant) ingredients like freeze-dried instant coffee, cappuccino topping powder (around 70% milk) and powdered hot chocolate.
They offer a compact and low-cost machine which is high speed and offers very hot drinks. They can be a real queue buster without breaking the bank but generally people are more seeking better quality coffee such as a bean-to-cup machine would give.
