Choose an Office Coffee Machine by Workplace Size

The right machine should match your number of employees, expected daily drinks, preferred coffee menu and available space.

Workplace Approximate demand Suitable machine
Small office or boardroom Up to 50 drinks per day Compact tank-filled bean-to-cup machine
Small to medium office Up to 80 drinks per day Compact fresh-milk coffee machine
Medium workplace Up to 150–200 drinks per day Plumbed bean-to-cup coffee machine
Large or busy office Up to 250–300 drinks per day High-capacity fresh-milk machine

These figures are a guide. Peak periods, visitor demand, drink sizes and menu complexity should also be considered.

How to Choose the Right Office Coffee Machine

The best office coffee machine is one that can comfortably manage your busiest periods without requiring constant refilling, cleaning or attention.

Before choosing a machine, consider:

  • The number of employees using the machine
  • Expected cups of coffee per day
  • Peak demand during mornings, lunches and meetings
  • Fresh milk or powdered milk preparation
  • Black coffee, milk drinks, decaf and hot chocolate options
  • Tank-filled or mains-water operation
  • Available counter space and utilities
  • Daily cleaning and maintenance requirements
  • Whether you want to buy or lease the machine

Compact Office Coffee Machines

Compact JURA machines are a practical choice for smaller offices, boardrooms, meeting rooms and studios. Tank-filled models do not normally require a permanent mains-water connection, providing greater flexibility when positioning the machine.

Medium and High-Capacity Office Coffee Machines

Busy workplaces may benefit from a plumbed Gaggia, JURA or Franke coffee machine with larger bean hoppers, higher daily capacity and more automated cleaning features.

Selected machines include two grinders or separate bean hoppers, allowing businesses to offer regular and decaffeinated coffee from the same machine.

Buy or Lease an Office Coffee Machine

Caffia offers flexible options for businesses looking to buy or lease an office coffee machine. Leasing can spread the cost over an agreed period, while purchasing outright may suit organisations with an available equipment budget.

The final cost will depend on the machine’s capacity, milk system, number of grinders, plumbing requirements and level of automation. Complete the enquiry form below and our team can recommend a suitable machine and provide a tailored quotation.

Why Choose an Office Coffee Machine?

Designed for Better Workplace Coffee

Better for Staff

Quality coffee helps create a more enjoyable workplace and gives staff easy access to fresh drinks throughout the day.

Ideal for Visitors

Offer clients, guests and meeting attendees a more professional coffee experience with a reliable office machine.

Simple to Use

Bean to cup office coffee machines are easy to operate, making them a practical option for shared staff kitchens and breakout spaces.

Options for Every Office

From compact workplace coffee machines to higher-capacity systems, there are options to suit different team sizes and daily drink volumes.

Types of Coffee Machines for Offices

Bean-to-Cup Office Coffee Machines

Bean-to-cup coffee machines grind whole coffee beans and prepare each drink automatically. They are popular in offices because employees can select a drink from the display without needing barista training.

Depending on the model, an office bean-to-cup machine can prepare espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte, flat white, hot chocolate, hot milk and hot water for tea.

Fresh-Milk Office Coffee Machines

Fresh-milk machines automatically prepare milk for cappuccino, latte and flat white. They are a strong choice for businesses that want to provide a premium, café-style coffee experience for staff, clients and visitors.

Depending on the model, fresh milk can be stored in a countertop or under-counter fridge. Selected machines also include automatic milk-cleaning programmes to simplify daily maintenance.

Black-Coffee Machines

For workplaces that mainly serve espresso, americano and longer black coffee, a machine without an integrated milk system may be the most practical option.

These machines generally require less daily milk-system maintenance and can work particularly well in smaller offices, boardrooms, meeting rooms and professional practices.

Plumbed and Hand-Fill Coffee Machines

A hand-fill office coffee machine uses a removable water tank and can be installed without a permanent mains-water connection. This makes it suitable for smaller offices or rooms where plumbing is unavailable.

A plumbed office coffee machine connects directly to the mains water supply. It reduces manual refilling and is generally more suitable for busy workplaces with higher daily demand.

What Drinks Can an Office Coffee Machine Make?

The available drinks will depend on the selected machine and milk system. Options can include:

  • Espresso and double espresso
  • Americano and long coffee
  • Cappuccino
  • Latte
  • Flat white
  • Latte macchiato
  • Hot milk
  • Hot chocolate
  • Decaffeinated coffee
  • Hot water for tea

Coffee Beans and Consumables for Your Office

The coffee beans used in your machine are just as important as the equipment. Caffia supplies espresso beans, certified coffees and decaffeinated options suitable for professional workplace coffee machines.

We can also supply hot chocolate, tea, syrups, cups, cleaning products and other machine consumables.

Office Coffee Machines: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best coffee machine for an office?

The best office coffee machine depends on the number of employees, expected daily usage, preferred drinks and available space. A compact JURA machine may suit a smaller office, while a higher-capacity Gaggia or Franke machine may be more appropriate for a large or busy workplace.

How much does an office coffee machine cost?

The cost depends on the machine’s capacity, milk system, number of grinders, plumbing requirements and level of automation. Caffia offers purchase and leasing options, with quotations tailored to individual workplace requirements.

Can I lease an office coffee machine?

Yes. Flexible leasing options are available on selected office coffee machines. Leasing allows businesses to spread the cost of professional coffee equipment over an agreed term.

How many cups can an office coffee machine make each day?

Compact professional machines may be suitable for around 50 drinks per day, while high-capacity office coffee machines can prepare approximately 200 to 300 drinks per day. The correct capacity depends on peak demand as well as total daily consumption.

Do office coffee machines need plumbing?

Not always. Smaller coffee machines may use a removable water tank, while higher-capacity machines are often connected directly to the mains water supply. A plumbed coffee machine reduces the need for manual refilling in a busy office.

What is the difference between fresh milk and powdered milk?

Fresh-milk machines prepare dairy milk from a refrigerated container, creating café-style cappuccinos, lattes and flat whites. Powdered-milk machines use a soluble milk ingredient and can be easier to stock and manage in busy self-service environments.

Are office coffee machines easy to use?

Most automatic bean-to-cup coffee machines are designed for self-service. Users select their preferred drink from a touchscreen or display, and the machine grinds, brews and dispenses it automatically.

Are office coffee machines easy to clean?

Cleaning requirements vary by model. Machines without fresh milk generally require less daily attention, while selected premium fresh-milk machines include automatic cleaning programmes. The manufacturer’s specified cleaning tasks must still be completed.

Can an office coffee machine provide decaf?

Yes. Machines with two bean hoppers can keep regular and decaffeinated coffee separate. Some models also include a separate bypass chute for a measured portion of pre-ground decaf coffee.

Can office coffee machines make tea and hot chocolate?

Many office machines dispense hot water for tea. Models with a chocolate canister can also prepare hot chocolate and chocolate-based coffee drinks. The available menu varies between machines.

Do you install office coffee machines?

Yes. Caffia can provide installation, commissioning and staff handover for office coffee machines, subject to the agreed package and completion of the required site preparation.

Can Caffia support businesses with multiple offices?

Yes. We can help organisations select consistent coffee equipment, ingredients and supplies for multiple workplace locations. Each site can be assessed according to its team size, available space and expected usage.

How long does a commercial office coffee machine last?

The working life of a machine depends on its build quality, usage, cleaning, servicing and whether it has been correctly matched to the workplace’s demand. Regular maintenance and daily cleaning help protect performance and reliability.
