Office Coffee Machines

Small offices – Up to 40 cups per day

Recommended starting point: Liquidline K1

For smaller teams, meeting rooms and compact staff kitchens, the K1 offers freshly ground coffee and drinks in a relatively compact footprint. It can prepare up to 40 cups per day, with touchscreen selection and automatic rinsing features to support everyday use.

Up to 40 cups/day | Lease from £14/week.

Medium-sized offices – Up to 80 cups per day

Recommended starting point: Schaerer Coffee Club Fresh Milk

For medium-sized offices looking to serve quality coffee throughout the working day, the Schaerer Coffee Club Fresh Milk offers freshly ground coffee and fresh milk drinks in a convenient self-service format. It’s worth considering for teams that want to enjoy coffee-shop-style favourites, including cappuccinos and lattes, without the need for a dedicated barista.

Up to 80 drinks/day | Lease from £35.00/week.

Large offices – Up to 250 drinks per day

Recommended starting point: Schaerer Coffee Soul 12

For larger teams and workplaces with frequent demand, the Soul 12 offers a higher-capacity solution with a broad choice of coffee-shop-style drinks. It can prepare up to 250 beverages per day, making it worth considering for busy office kitchens, shared refreshment areas and larger organisations.

Up to 250 beverages/day | Lease from £97.50/week.

These recommendations are a starting point, not a rule that every office of a certain size needs a particular model. If your team has a high daily coffee consumption, concentrated morning demand or a preference for a wider drinks menu, we can help you compare higher-capacity options or consider more than one machine.

Which Type of Office Coffee Machine Should You Choose?

Bean-to-cup is a popular option for workplaces that want freshly ground coffee without needing a trained barista, but it isn’t the only solution. The right commercial coffee machine depends on your preferred drinks, expected demand and how much involvement you want from your team.

Bean to cup office coffee machines: Grind coffee beans for each drink and can prepare espresso based favourites effortlessly. They suit offices looking for freshly prepared coffee with convenient self-service operation.

Instant coffee machines for offices: Use soluble coffee and depending on the model, powdered milk or other ingredients. They can be a practical choice where straightforward operation, quick preparation and simple ingredient replenishment are priorities.

Pod or capsule coffee machines for offices: Offer portion controlled drinks with minimal preparation, making them worth considering for smaller teams, individual offices or meeting rooms.

Delivery, Installation, Servicing and Consumables

Choosing a machine is only one part of setting up workplace coffee. You’ll also need to consider where it will be installed, how it will be supplied with water and ingredients, and who will look after cleaning and maintenance.

Liquidline supports businesses with delivery, professional installation and training to help your team use its new machine. Our nationwide in-house engineering team can also discuss servicing and technical support options to help keep your equipment working reliably.

We can supply coffee beans, tea, cups, syrups and cleaning products alongside your machine, making it easier to keep your office coffee station stocked. The specific servicing arrangements and consumables you need will depend on the model and your chosen agreement.

Try Before You Buy

Choosing a coffee machine is easier when you can experience the drinks for yourself. A demonstration or tasting session lets you compare flavour, milk texture, drink selection and ease of use before deciding which system is right for your workplace.

Liquidline offers opportunities to see selected machines in action, including live demos for suitable models. You can also visit one of our showrooms to explore refreshment equipment and discuss your requirements with our team.

If you’re comparing several machines, bring an estimate of your daily drink volumes and a list of your team’s favourite drinks. That gives us a practical starting point for recommending suitable options.
