Top 10 Office Coffee Machine FAQs Answered

Thinking about getting a coffee machine? You’re not alone — and neither are your questions.

Most businesses ask the same things before committing. So instead of dancing around the details, here are the answers we give every single week. 

Buy, Rent, or Lease?

Each option has its place. Buying gives you ownership, leasing spreads costs, and free-on-loan setups can work when usage levels make sense. The “right” answer depends on cashflow, usage, and how hands-on you want to be.

What Size Machine Do We Need?

Size isn’t about headcount alone. It’s about how many people are onsite daily, how often they drink coffee, and whether customers use the machine too. Offices, factories, and schools all have different rhythms.

Fresh Milk or Granulated?

Fresh milk wins on flavour, granulated wins on simplicity. Both can work brilliantly when matched to the right environment and cleaning routine.

What About Maintenance and Breakdowns?

Daily rinses and weekly cleans keep things running smoothly. If something does go wrong, response time matters — and a good supplier makes all the difference.

And Yes… You Need a Water Filter

Filtered water protects your machine, improves taste, and extends its lifespan. It’s non-negotiable if you want consistent results.
