Why choose our coffee at work

What you get from working with us, beyond the kit on the wall.

Curated bean selection

Freshly-roasted UK beans across 20+ blends, light to dark, single-origin to espresso. We help you pick what suits your machine and your team.

Format that fits the team

Bean-to-cup for self-serve, filter for high volume, espresso for the connoisseurs. We size around peak demand, not just headcount.

Single point of contact

One account manager who knows your install, same person for the bean order and the engineer call-out, not a generic call-centre.

Rapid breakdown response

If a machine goes down, service calls are responded to within an average of 8 working hours. Remote diagnostics catch most issues before you even notice.

Beans on a schedule

Subscription delivery so you never run out. Adjust quantity or skip a delivery via a quick email, no contract gymnastics.

Optional staff training

Quick walk-throughs on machine operation and the basics of pulling a decent shot. Refreshers whenever you need them.

Our approach

Coffee that earns its place

Most office coffee is either a tired pod machine that nobody loves or a serious investment in a barista setup nobody knows how to run. There's a sensible middle: a machine that fits your team, beans you'd actually want to drink, and a service that keeps it pouring.

We start by asking what your team actually does: peak times, coffee culture (espresso fans vs. instant tolerators), how much milk gets through, whether you want 'one machine' simplicity or a more curated coffee bar. From there we recommend bean-to-cup, filter, espresso, or hybrid, with beans matched to it. As a rough guide by team size: 30 to 60 people suits a compact machine like the Coffetek Vitro S1, 50 to 100 the Dr Coffee T200 or Vitro X1, 80 to 150 the table-top Vitro Series 3 or a floor-standing Crane Cali 2, and busy sites past that the Franke A800 or Coffetek Vitro X4. Every one of them is available fully managed or on rental, with beans, servicing and support included in a single monthly fee.

Workplace coffee shows up in retention conversations more than people expect, it's a daily rhythm and one of the most visible signals of how a workplace treats its people. As an independent office coffee machine supplier, our remit isn't just installing kit; it's making sure the cup at the end of it is one your team genuinely looks forward to.

Our approach

How we work together

A consultative model where we recommend the right format, install it cleanly, and stay involved with the day-to-day service.

1

Survey

Team size, coffee culture, milk preferences, and the install constraints around plumbing and power.

2

Recommend

Format (bean-to-cup, filter, espresso, hybrid) and a starting bean profile, we explain the trade-offs honestly.

3

Install

Delivery, plumbing where needed, commissioning, and a brief walk-through with your team on day one.

4

Support

Beans on a schedule, planned servicing, service calls responded to within an average of 8 working hours, and one named contact for everything.

Frequently asked questions

Get answers to common questions about our services.

Our rental packages include the machine, installation, ongoing maintenance, cleaning supplies, and technical support. Coffee beans and consumables can be included in the package or purchased separately on a regular delivery.

Our machines range from 50 cups per day for small offices to 500+ cups for high-volume locations. We'll recommend the right capacity based on your team size and peak-hour patterns rather than a generic average.

Standard installs are usually scheduled within 2–3 weeks once we've agreed the model and confirmed plumbing/power. Faster install windows are possible for replacement scenarios, let us know the urgency during the survey.

Yes, we provide a quick walk-through on machine operation, basic maintenance, and (for espresso machines) the basics of pulling a decent shot. Refresher sessions are available whenever a new starter or new shift needs them.

Absolutely. We offer a curated selection of premium UK-roasted beans, but you can also specify brands or blends you're already attached to, we'll confirm compatibility with your machine before committing.

We offer Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade certified beans, recyclable cups, and energy-efficient machines. For larger sites we can also help set up a grounds recycling programme through one of our partner schemes.

As a starting point: teams of 30 to 60 suit a compact bean-to-cup machine such as the Coffetek Vitro S1; 50 to 100 the Dr Coffee T200 or Coffetek Vitro X1; 80 to 150 the table-top Coffetek Vitro Series 3 or a floor-standing Crane Cali 2; and busy sites beyond that the Franke A800 or Coffetek Vitro X4. Peak-time demand, milk preferences and plumbing access all shift the answer, which is why we survey before we recommend.

Yes. Most clients take a fully managed package or a rental: the machine, installation, servicing and beans for one monthly fee, with no capital outlay. Outright purchase with a servicing contract is available for sites that prefer to own the equipment.
