Run from Suffolk, working in London
Optimus is run from Hadleigh in Suffolk and looks after offices across the UK, London included. The Franke A600 is the machine we look after more than any other. For a London office, the consultation happens in person at your site, so the recommendation fits your kitchen and your team rather than a guess over the phone.
Every London install starts with a free consultation and survey at your office: headcount, the busy days, how the team drinks, where the milk fridge will go, and the water and power in the kitchen. Then one specific recommendation, with the trade-offs explained.
Machine and servicing on one account, with one named contact. Beans and the cleaning products made for your machine are ordered through us as you need them, so you never deal with three different suppliers.
Installation and servicing are handled by our UK-wide network of local engineers, with service calls responded to within an average of 8 working hours. London gets the same promise as every Optimus site.

Find the office most like yours. The consultation decides the detail, but this is where the conversation usually starts.
The Square Mile: Bank, Moorgate, Liverpool Street, Aldgate, St Paul's
Banks, insurers, law firms and consultancies where the coffee is noticed by clients as much as by staff. Milk drinks dominate, and midweek is when the whole team is in.
We usually recommend
A Franke A Line A600 with fresh milk for a client suite or a floor of up to 200 cups a day, or two machines where the morning peak is sharp.
Canary Wharf, Wood Wharf, the Isle of Dogs, the Royal Docks
Large floors in managed buildings. The building sets the rules for deliveries, goods lifts and contractors, and one kitchen often serves a whole floor at nine o'clock.
We usually recommend
A Franke A Line A800 with parallel dispensing for up to 250 cups a day, or a pair of A600s on a large floor, each with fresh milk and installed to the building's contractor rules.
Shoreditch, Farringdon, Holborn, King's Cross, Victoria
Thirty to a hundred people, a compact kitchen and no room for a tower. Proper milk drinks without a barista.
We usually recommend
A compact fresh milk machine such as the Coffetek Vitro X1 MIA or S1 MIA, or the Dr Coffee T200 with fresh and powdered milk.
We cover the whole of London in the same way: the City of London and the EC postcodes, Canary Wharf and the Isle of Dogs (E14), the Royal Docks and Stratford, Westminster, Victoria and the West End, Holborn, King's Cross, Shoreditch and the South Bank.
Most of what people drink at work now has milk in it. Fresh milk makes those drinks noticeably better, and it asks a little more of the office in return. This is the trade-off we talk through before recommending anything.
Best for: Client suites, head offices and teams where the coffee is noticed.
Best for: Busy floors where nobody can own the milk, or as a backup.
You do not always have to choose. The Dr Coffee T200 runs fresh milk and has a powdered milk canister as a fallback, and a larger office can put fresh milk in the client suite and powder on the busiest floor.
Five machines cover most London offices, from a compact kitchen to a busy floor of up to 250 cups a day. Every one is available on rental or fully managed, or to buy outright with a service contract.

Fresh milk or powder, one machine or two: we will talk it through, no pressure. Calls answered 24/7.
Independent, coffee-led and accountable, with one contact for everything.
Sizing the machine, the fridge and the cleaning around a real team is everyday work for us, on Franke, Dr Coffee and Coffetek machines in offices across the UK.
Not tied to a manufacturer. We recommend across Franke, Dr Coffee and Coffetek fresh milk machines, based on your floor and how your team drinks.
A London head office and regional offices elsewhere in the UK on the same machines, the same service standard and one account.
Rental and fully managed packages put the machine and its servicing into a single monthly fee. Buying outright with a service contract is an option too.
The same four steps for every office, starting with a consultation.
A free consultation and survey in person at your office: headcount, peak days, the drinks your team actually orders, and the kitchen's water and power.
A specific machine and milk setup sized to your office, with the trade-offs explained. We are independent of any manufacturer.
Delivery, plumbing where needed, commissioning and a walk-through with your team on day one, booked around your building's access rules.
Planned servicing, beans and consumables ordered through one account, and service calls responded to within an average of 8 working hours by our UK-wide network of local engineers.
Common questions about fresh milk coffee machines for London offices.
Yes. Optimus is run from Hadleigh in Suffolk and supplies offices across the UK, London included. For the City, Canary Wharf, Docklands and the rest of London, the free consultation and survey happen in person at your office. Installation and servicing are handled by our UK-wide network of local engineers, with service calls responded to within an average of 8 working hours.
Yes. Managed office buildings set their own rules for contractors, and our engineers work within them: risk assessments and method statements, insurance certificates, and installs booked into the building's goods lift and loading bay slots. Tell us the building's requirements at the survey and the install is planned around them.
Fresh milk if the drinks matter and someone on site can keep the fridge topped up: the lattes and flat whites are noticeably better. Powdered milk if the machine has to run for days on its own. Some offices have both, fresh milk in the client suite and powder on the busiest floor, or a Dr Coffee T200 that does both.
Yes on the Franke A Line A600 and A800, whose FoamMaster works with dairy and most plant-based milks. The IndividualMilk option keeps the two milk paths physically separate, which matters for allergens and for vegan colleagues.
Around 30 to 60 staff, the Coffetek Vitro S1 MIA. Around 50 to 100, the Vitro X1 MIA or the Dr Coffee T200. Above 100, the Franke A Line A600, rated up to 200 cups a day. Where the day runs past 200 cups or the morning peak is sharp, the A800, rated up to 250 cups a day, or two machines. We size from your peak days rather than the average.
Your team buys the milk and keeps the fridge topped up, so it is worth agreeing who does it before the machine arrives. The machines run their own automatic cleaning cycles, and the milk system needs a regular clean as well, weekly on some models. Beans and the cleaning products made for your machine are ordered through us as you need them.
Yes. Every machine on this page is available on rental or fully managed, with the machine and its servicing in one monthly fee, and you can also buy outright with a service contract. We price each office after the free consultation, because the machine, the milk setup and the plumbing all change the number.
One number, 0330 678 4687, answered 24/7. Service calls are responded to within an average of 8 working hours by our UK-wide network of local engineers. Servicing is planned in advance, and beans and consumables are ordered through us as you need them.
