What Is a Fresh Milk Bean-to-Cup Coffee Machine?
A fresh milk bean-to-cup coffee machine grinds whole coffee beans, brews the espresso and combines it with refrigerated fresh milk to prepare drinks automatically.
Cappuccinos, lattes, flat whites, americanos and other drinks can be selected from a touchscreen or button menu, without needing a trained barista.
Fresh milk is normally stored in a separate milk fridge or cooler connected to the machine. The milk system must be cleaned regularly, but the result is a more authentic milk texture and flavour than machines using powdered or soluble milk.
These machines are particularly well suited to offices, hotels, restaurants, showrooms, cafés and other businesses that want consistent milk-based drinks with straightforward operation.
Don't Forget the Coffee...
A great coffee starts with great coffee beans
Our Italian Aroma coffee beans are freshly roasted in the UK in an Italian style, with blends ranging from smooth 100% Arabica through to fuller, stronger espresso coffees.
They work beautifully in automatic bean-to-cup machines and the range offers a variety of roasts and styles to complement your fresh milk coffee machine.
Individual 1kg bags and larger cases are available, with free UK mainland delivery on orders over £85.

Fresh Milk or Soluble Milk?
Fresh milk machines usually produce a more authentic milk texture and flavour, making them a strong choice where cappuccinos, lattes and flat whites are an important part of the drinks menu.
Soluble, or powdered milk, coffee machines can be easier to manage in very busy self-service environments because they do not require refrigerated fresh milk.
The right choice depends on drink quality expectations, daily volume, cleaning routines and how the machine will be used.
Fresh Milk Bean-to-Cup Coffee Machine FAQs
Answers about fresh milk systems, milk coolers, cleaning, capacity, installation and buying options.
What is a fresh milk bean-to-cup coffee machine?
A fresh milk bean-to-cup machine grinds whole coffee beans, brews espresso and uses refrigerated fresh milk to prepare drinks such as cappuccinos, lattes and flat whites automatically.
Does a fresh milk coffee machine need a milk fridge or cooler?
Yes. Fresh milk must be kept refrigerated. Most machines use a separate milk fridge or cooler connected to the milk system, although the exact setup depends on the machine and package.
Which is better: fresh milk or soluble milk?
Fresh milk usually gives a more natural milk flavour and texture. Soluble milk can be easier to manage in busy self-service settings. The best option depends on drink quality, daily volume, cleaning requirements and the intended location.
How often does the milk system need cleaning?
The milk system should normally be cleaned every day it is used. Always follow the machine manufacturer’s instructions and use the correct milk-system cleaner.
Can fresh milk bean-to-cup machines be plumbed in?
Yes. Many commercial models can be connected directly to the mains water supply. Other machines use refillable water tanks, which may suit lower-volume sites or locations without a suitable water connection.
How many drinks can a fresh milk machine make each day?
Capacity varies considerably. Compact machines may suit smaller offices, while larger commercial systems can manage several hundred drinks a day. Peak demand is as important as the total daily number.
Can I buy or lease a fresh milk coffee machine?
Yes. Machines may be bought outright or leased through finance. Complete package deals are also available, with the exact inclusions shown on each individual offer.
Do you provide delivery, installation and training?
Yes. As well as free delivery, we can install and set up your new commercial coffee machine — as well as give any training you might need to get the most from it.
Can I rent a commercial bean-to-cup machine that uses fresh milk?
Yes - we have a selection of refurbished used second-hand machines, including fresh milk bean-to-cup models.
