Types of Machines and Who Uses Them

Commercial Bean To Cup Coffee Machines

Bean-to-cup coffee machines are perfect for workplaces and customer-facing environments, offering freshly ground coffee at the touch of a button. These machines are user-friendly, versatile, and capable of producing a wide range of drinks, from lattes to cappuccinos. With models designed to brew anywhere from 30 to 300 drinks per day, they’re ideal for offices, automotive showrooms, and retail spaces.

Traditional Espresso Coffee Machines

Barista machines bring a traditional coffee shop experience to restaurants, cafés, and hotels. While they require trained operators, these machines deliver unparalleled quality, creating espresso-based beverages like macchiatos and flat whites with precision. They’re perfect for high-traffic hospitality venues where customer experience is paramount.

Commercial Filter Coffee Machines

Filter coffee machines are a reliable choice for bulk brewing black coffee. Compact and easy to use, they’re often found in hotel breakfast buffets, conference venues, and canteens. With manual-fill models available, these machines are flexible enough to operate in almost any setting.

Instant Coffee Machines

Instant coffee machines provide a quick and cost-effective solution for serving hot drinks. Perfect for care homes, healthcare settings, and staff rooms, these machines are easy to clean and maintain while delivering a variety of beverages quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Lease a Commercial Coffee Machine?

When investing in new equipment for your business, you need to make smart, well-informed financial decisions. Rather than committing to the large expense of buying a commercial machine outright, many of our customers choose to lease their machine.

By leasing a commercial coffee machine, you will have access to the equipment you require when you need it, rather than having to wait until you have the budget available. Leasing can also provide a tax break that you wouldn't have otherwise benefitted from if you had purchased a machine. Furthermore, you can upgrade your machine to the latest model when your contract comes to an end!

When you lease a coffee machine from Liquidline, you’ll sign up for a sales agreement, which will set out the terms of the lease. Coffee machine leasing typically lasts for a fixed duration, either 3 or 5 years. At the end of the lease, you can choose to extend it, give the machine back or upgrade to a new state-of-the-art machine.

What Drinks Can You Make with a Commercial Coffee Machine?

Our office coffee machines and commercial coffee machines offer a wide range of your favourite drink options; including latte, cappuccino, espresso, hot chocolate and more. In addition to this, we have our very own coffee bean brand, Café Bonté, which includes a range of sustainable blends that are Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance and UTZ Certified.

How Long Does a Machine Last?

Depending on the make and model, a professional coffee machine can last for up to 25 years. The level of maintenance and care also determines the lifespan of a coffee machine. Much like a car, the more attention you give a commercial coffee machine, the longer it will last. Regular cleaning, boiler inspections and water filter changes all dramatically increase the lifespan of your machine.

How Often Should I Clean My Coffee Machine?

All coffee machines require a quick daily clean, followed by a deep clean once a week. This is especially important in machines that use fresh milk, as this can build up on the components.

Low-capacity coffee machines and filter coffee machines generally require manual cleaning, whilst more advanced instant or bean-to-cup coffee machines will have automatic cleaning programmes built in.

Traditional espresso machines generally come with an automated cleaning system to clean the inner components of the machine, but the steam wand and portafilter will require cleaning by hand.
