The best coffee machine for your company

Chatting about the weekend by the coffee machine while enjoying a good cappuccino. A coffee round for the entire department after lunch. Or a cup of coffee for your guests to make them feel welcome. Coffee at work brings people together. And the coffee you serve says a lot about the type of company you are.Looking for the best coffee machine for the workplace? With these six helpful tips, you’ll find the machine that suits you best.

Determine your coffee consumption

Our own research shows that we drink an average of four cups of coffee per day at work. Recognisable? Or are you and your colleagues more into tea? And just as important: do you regularly receive guests at the office? Make sure your coffee machine isn’t too large or too small by mapping out how many cups of coffee employees and guests drink on average. This way, you take an important first step and immediately choose the right machine.

Choose the brewing method that suits your workplace

Look at how many cups of coffee your employees drink each day. This will help you choose a machine with the right capacity to meet demand without providing too much or too little.

Espresso machines

Ideal for lovers of high‑quality coffee with a rich flavour, but they require more time and maintenance.

Filter coffee machines

Suitable for larger teams, offering a familiar taste and easy maintenance.

Instant coffee machines

Perfect for fast service with minimal maintenance, although the taste often doesn’t quite match freshly brewed coffee.

Cafitesse machines

Operate with liquid coffee concentrate for fast preparation and consistent flavour, with the added advantage of a longer shelf life.

Capsule machines

Offer convenience and variety, but keep in mind the environmental impact and the cost per cup.

What else you should consider when choosing your coffee machine

Maintenance and cleaning requirements

Some machines require more frequent cleaning and maintenance than others. Espresso machines often need daily attention, while filter and instant machines are generally easier to maintain. When making your choice, determine how much time your team can dedicate to maintenance.

Brewing time per cup

In a dynamic work environment, the preparation time per cup is important. Instant and Cafitesse machines brew coffee very quickly, while espresso machines take longer but deliver higher‑quality coffee.

The right service contract

Service contracts vary by machine type and ownership model. For rented machines, service is often included, while purchased machines usually require a separate contract. Choose a contract that fits the needs of your machine and your company’s budget.

Aligning with your company’s values

Consider how your choice of coffee machine aligns with your company’s values. If sustainability is important, choose machines with recyclable cups or a model that minimises waste. Also make sure the machine’s capacity matches the size and usage of your team.

More satisfaction and productivity with the right coffee machine

Choosing the right coffee machine is all about finding the balance between quality, efficiency, and your company’s values. By identifying the needs and preferences of your team, you can select a machine that contributes to greater satisfaction and productivity in the workplace.
