The decision to rent a commercial coffee machine or to buy one greatly depends on your needs.
Here is a practical guide to coffee machine rental to help you learn how both solutions differ from each other,
what the different advantages are and how to make the right choice for you.
So what are the differences between renting and buying?
While many prefer to buy the coffee machine(s), in some cases it makes sense to rent instead because if you do choose to do this then you won’t need an upfront investment.
The terms of a lease can be tailored to suit your needs, you can choose a time frame that suits your business. It is more economical to choose a shorter term because the interest you pay will be lower. However, if you have less capital available then you may benefit from lower monthly payments over a longer period.
There may be some ongoing costs for water filtration and the coffee itself in addition to the cost of renting. Renting a machine gives you cost effective flexibility whilst providing a great cup of coffee.
If you buy a coffee machine, then you will receive a good return on your upfront investment because you will enjoy your machine for an average of between six to eight years.
This period is dependent on various factors including: usage (light or intensive), environment (dusty factory vs. office), water hardness and how well it is maintained - the better you take care of your professional coffee machine(s) the longer you will enjoy the benefits.
Many customers choose to purchase the machine upfront because this means that they keep ownership of the equipment, therefore it can be more economical to buy a professional coffee machine than to rent. If you don’t want to be responsible for maintenance and repairs yourself, then you can include a service contract with your purchase on an annual basis.
