Bean to Cup Coffee Machines for the office

The number of drinks per day is a key factor in choosing the right machine. You need to make sure your office coffee solution is robust enough to satisfy your staff and visitor needs. 

We recommend considering a coffee machine that will serve more than double the amount of staff you have on site. This is because 63% of Britons drink coffee regularly - averaging 2 drinks per day. Use our workplace coffee calculator to get an idea of how many people drink coffee in your workplace. 

Large offices with 50+ employees may require a machine capable of 200+ cups per day or even multiple machines.

If you have a small office with 10-20 staff, a machine with a capacity of 25-50 cups per day may be sufficient. Sadly, we don't supply Bean to Cup coffee machines for small offices (approx. 10 staff) but you can purchase a business POD machine from Lavazza UK. If you have up to 20 staff, a Flavia coffee machine might be ideal for you.

Fresh milk machines deliver barista-quality drinks – just like visiting a coffee shop, but at the touch of a button and without leaving the office. However, they do require daily cleaning and maintenance to keep them in top condition.

Consider whether your staff prefer black coffee options such as espresso and americano, or milky drinks such as cappuccino, latte, flat white, or hot chocolate. Some machines also provide fresh tea. 

We've ensured that all of our Bean to Cup machines come with the UK's favourite coffee drinks as standard.

We've even introduced a premium Bean to Cup coffee machine that offers flavoured syrups. This is a very popular choice as staff can customise drinks to their tastes. 

Machines with automatic cleaning cycles reduce the burden on staff. Fresh milk machines require daily cleaning, while granulated milk machines need less frequent maintenance.

Your site will be responsible for keeping your coffee machine clean. So this can be an important factor when choosing the right solution for you. 

As standard, we provide staff training on the machine maintenance when the machines is installed on-site. We also provide online cleaning and maintenance guides, giving step-by-step guidance for your team to refer to after training has taken place. 

This depends on your company culture. Offering free coffee can boost morale and productivity, while a paid system (e.g., a coin-operated or card-based machine) can help cover costs and become a revenue generation tool. Many businesses opt for subsidized pricing, where employees pay a reduced rate.

In our experience, the benefits of providing free premium coffee in the workplace far out ways the cost of the coffee machine. However, the "right" decision is personal for your business. With the cost of Coffee from high-street coffee shops constantly rising, many staff will be elated with subsidized workplace coffee - especially if it's high-quality Lavazza coffee. 

Machines with automatic cleaning cycles reduce maintenance. Some suppliers offer service contracts, ensuring regular maintenance and repairs. Lavazza Professional UK offers a range of Bean to Cup machines on both DIY (Do It Yourself) and FMS (Fully Managed Service) options, meaning you can either manage the maintenance in-house or allow us to support.
