Coffee Machine for Co-working Spaces

So how do you decide which is the best coffee machine for your co-working space?

<p>Firstly, you need to consider who is your captive audience and how many drinks will be vended per day? These points mean a lot. If you are looking to create a ‘coffee shop style’ environment, you really want to look at a traditional espresso coffee machine to create the authentic feel about your space. The Merano Group coffee machine will create some of the best espresso’s you can imagine. However, the biggest draw back of having a traditional espresso machine is that you will need someone to operate the machine. We can provide you support and barista training but you will need to consider whether you want to be making the coffee manually rather than using an automatic bean to cup machine for your coworking space. The number of drinks required per day will also determine the capacity of machine you will require. There’s no point spending extra on a huge coffee machine if the maximum capacity in your coworking space is 20 and vice versa. So if you’ve got a 100 plus users you will need to look at a machine that is capable of making coffee all day long.</p> <p>There are many options when it comes to a bean to cup machine and they are usually split into two types; granulated milk and fresh milk. We usually recommend the granulated milk type as they require less cleaning and there is no risk of milk going off in the machine as it’s a freeze dried product. Granulated milk has come a long way in recent years and our product is 100% skimmed milk, which isn’t sweetened like the traditional whitener and all the drinks are ‘skinny’! Fresh milk coffee machines do have the edge over granulated milk but they will need to be cleaned each night to flush out the milk pipes and help prevent them blocking up. Unless you have a dedicated front of house person or cleaner, the cleaning can be an issue which is why it may be better for you to consider the granulated option.</p> <p>Minimising touch points is a hot topic right now and therefore we have created a touchless coffee machine! Our Aviano coffee machine has the ability where you can select your drink from 2cms away from the screen without actually touching it. It’s very clever but simple technology and we highly recommend this coffee machine for your coworking space. It looks great and offers a wide range of drinks, covering most of the range that a coffee shop offers. The Aviano has high capacity and the Maxi version will cater for 100 users having the largest ingredient canisters available on the market.</p> <h3>Don’t forget the tea drinkers!</h3> <p>The Aviano Dual actually has a real leaf tea brewer so is an all-in-one coffee machine that also offers tea and chocolate. If you would prefer people to make their own tea, would recommend the Billi boiling and chilled water tap for your coworking space as it will dispense boiling water on demand so people spend less time at the tea point. Whilst usually you may want to encourage people to natter whilst making their brew. With the Covid restrictions, a lot of kitchens are limiting the amount of users at any one time so the quicker they are the better.</p>
