ℹ️ WHICH TYPE OF COFFEE MACHINE IS RIGHT FOR YOUR RESTAURANT?

TRADITIONAL BARISTA ESPRESSO MACHINES

Ideal where coffee is an important part of the customer experience.

A traditional espresso machine gives your team control over espresso extraction and milk steaming, making it ideal for venues wanting to serve a full café-style menu of espressos, Americanos, cappuccinos, flat whites and lattes.

Pair it with a suitable commercial grinder for a complete professional setup.

AUTOMATIC BEAN-TO-CUP COFFEE MACHINES

Ideal where speed, consistency and ease of use matter most.

A commercial bean-to-cup machine grinds the beans and prepares the drink automatically, making it easier for different members of staff to produce consistent coffee without extensive barista training.

Particularly useful during busy services when the person making coffee may also be serving food, clearing tables or working behind the bar.

Fresh-milk and soluble-milk options are available.

The Perfect Grind Can Mean the Perfect Espresso

With a traditional barista espresso machine setup, the grinder is every bit as important as the espresso machine, arguably even more so.

If your restaurant, pub or diner is going down the classic espresso machine route, we stock a range of professional commercial coffee grinders from brands including Remidag, Eureka and Cunill. Smaller grinders for low volume sites, up to high-torque grinders for venues that have as many coffee covers as theydo food.

Remidag Grinders — 3-Year Parts & Labour Warranty

Our Remidag professional grinders come with a free three-year parts and labour warranty as standard.

Grinder downtime might not mean closing the doors, like it would for a coffee shop, but it does mean your waiting staff having to explain to your customers why they can't end their meal with a delicious coffee — and a 3 year grinder warranty speaks volumes about Remidag's reliability.

ℹ️ FAQs About Coffee Machines for Restaurants & Pubs

Straightforward answers to help you find the perfect coffee machine for your pub, restaurant, bistro or diner

What is the best coffee machine for a restaurant?

There isn’t one coffee machine that is best for every restaurant. The right machine depends on your expected drink volume, menu, staffing, available space and whether you want a traditional barista or an automatic bean-to-cup setup all affect the right choice. StafCo can help you narrow the options down.

What is the best coffee machine for a pub?

Many pubs benefit from a commercial bean-to-cup machine because drinks can be prepared quickly and consistently by different members of staff. However, traditional espresso machines can work very well in gastropubs and other venues where premium coffee is an important part of the offering.

Is a bean-to-cup coffee machine suitable for a restaurant?

Yes. Bean-to-cup machines are particularly useful where different members of staff need to prepare consistent drinks quickly without extensive barista training, although we'd recommend fresh-milk versions over soluble milk to enhance your restaurant's reputation for quality ingredients.

Does a restaurant need a traditional espresso machine?

No. Traditional espresso machines are ideal for venues wanting a full barista-style coffee service, but a commercial bean-to-cup machine may be more practical where speed, consistency and ease of operation are more important.

What size coffee machine does my restaurant or pub need?

That depends primarily on your busiest service periods and the number of drinks you need to prepare at once. We can help you match the machine capacity to your expected demand.

Do I need a separate coffee grinder?

If you choose a traditional espresso machine, yes. A suitable commercial coffee grinder is an essential part of the setup. Bean-to-cup machines normally have their grinder built in.

Can I buy a complete café coffee machine package?

Yes. We have some great savings with both traditional barista espresso machine package deals and bean-to-cup machine package deals - combining selected machines with complementary equipment and accessories. Some packages also offer substantial savings compared with buying each item separately.

Can I lease a coffee machine for my restaurant?

Commercial coffee machines can be available through leasing as well as outright purchase. Get in touch and we can explain the available options and get your a tailored quote.

Plus, leasing a coffee machine
offers a business some amazing tax benefits.

Do you install office coffee machines?

Yes. We can install and set up your new commercial coffee machine and give any training that might be needed by you or your team.

Yes, for sure. Tell us about the type of business you're opening, expected customer numbers and the drinks you want to serve. We'll help you narrow down your options without overspending.
