How to choose the right bean to cup coffee machine

As with any major addition to your business, it's important to consider a few key factors before purchasing any coffee machine.

Each device will have varied features, aimed at certain sectors of the market. Some offer features that are unavailable in other machines.

We have created this guide to enable you to make the right decision for your coffee shop, cafe, catering business or establishment.

How much coffee are you likely to make?

For most, this will be one the biggest deciding factors when this type of machine. A solid estimate is all you need to make an informed decision on what is the best fit for you and your business.

In general, most entry-level automatic coffee makers will be capable of making up to a maximum of 100 cups of coffee during a 24 hour period.

Whereas a premium or high volume model could brew upwards of 300 drinks per day.

Of course, we have options that sit at both ends of the spectrum, and a few that fall just in between. Usually, we would recommend that if you anticipate more than the maximum that you scale up.

It's likely to be more costly to replace a machine that is not meeting minimum requirements, than a machine that is not achieving maximum output. An over-estimate of your coffee making requirements is often a wiser option.

What is your serving method?

These machines offer a great level of flexibility. They provide over the counter serving possibilities for your staff. Simply press a button and wait before handing to a customer.

Not limited to this scenario, a bean to cup machine is ideal for busy self-service locations, due to their simplicity of operation. There is no need for dedicated staff, customers can press a button to receive perfect speciality coffee.

Due to the nature of technology, we are able to offer even greater levels of ease-of-use. This is done with the addition of touchscreens on certain coffee machines in our range.

The addition of a touchscreen offers a greater user-experience. They also add extra features and benefits not found on push button models. Something worth considering where a multitude of users will be using your facilities.

You should choose a bean to cup machine if:

• Coffee is not your main product, but you still wish to offer premium coffee products

• Staff turnover is high, or a dedicated staff cannot be spared to operate an espresso machine
• Self-service is imperative

Mains Plumbed or Manual Fill Coffee Machine?

Which to choose? Having a mains plumbed machine means it'll keep itself topped up and ready at all times, reducing the downtime and time required to fill when it runs low. You will need a good water supply in the location you want to run the machine to do this.

That's where a manual fill bean to cup machine comes in. As the name implies, this type of machine has a water tank within, that needs to be filled up often to ensure you don't run out mid-coffee. How often you have to do this depends on the machine and how many drinks you make per-hour. This allows you to be much more flexible about where you locate the coffee machine.
