Above all, we work for you, ensuring your businesses and staffs satisfaction is our priority.
In addition, lease, rent & purchase options are available on all our workplace coffee machines.
Small Office Spaces
For smaller offices, a compact table-top machine is usually ideal for your requirements. Brothers recommend against small fresh milk machines (the quality isn’t there & you’re better off with powdered milk), the smallest fresh milk machine that we recommend is the Gaggia La Brilliante.
The Kometa offers a high quality powdered milk option for small offices. There is a stigma against powdered milk but using a sweet milk powder & high quality filter (partnered with this precise programme) allows us to craft a beautiful latte. Brother’s (self acclaimed coffee snobs) recommend this as the best ‘small use’ coffee machine on the market for offices – even better than fresh milk options.
Medium Sized Offices
For offices around the size of 40 to 80, you’ve got the decision of fresh milk vs powdered milk. There are benefits for & against but provided that you can allocate the daily cleaning role a number of individuals, this is an easy decision. Also always worth noting that cost per drink is cheaper with fresh milk.
Our recommended machines are any of The Krea Touch, Kalea Plus or Gaggia La Radiosa. These machines produce high street quality coffee to wow employee’s.
We try our best to be hands on & supportive to all of our customers; Customer 20i had a Kalea Plus originally but felt the need to upgrade due to growth, Brothers were able to upgrade their machine mid lease at no inconvenience to the customer.
Large Scale Offices
For larger scale offices, bespoke quotes are usually more fitting as a number of machines may be needed, you might require a Gaggia La Radiosa on each floor or a Kometa for you board room.
A larger scaled machine such as the Cimbali S30 might even be more suitable with this machine capable of producing up to 300 drinks a day.
Projects for larger scale offices are always fun as this often includes coffee area’s designed purposefully for the machine.

Having a hot drinks machine can be beneficial to the workplace in a number of ways. For most commercial premises outside of hospitality, like offices, gyms, and leisure facilities, we would usually recommend a hot drinks vending machine. Unlike the Barista machines, it doesn’t take a barista to make your coffee. You can simply select which drink you want, press a button, and the drink is made for you. A hot drinks machine in the workplace doesn’t limit you to just coffee either. Many of our hot drinks machines can offer up to 12 drink selections to make things from lattes to cappuccinos and hot chocolates. These are great solutions for keeping clients happy in waiting rooms, keeping staff happy in an office, or keeping spectators warm watching sports.
So what do we know coffee helps with and why would that help your business?
I think we can all agree (and science), that caffeine boosts productivity and mental stimulation to perform better. So one of the key areas our coffee solution will help with is in motivating workers to keep up productivity right throughout the day.
Improvements to cognitive function also mean you can recall details and remember things much better with coffee. Having a hot drinks machine is great for learning and problem solving in your teams. Allowing staff to think outside-the-box.
Reduce the amount of costly mistakes happening with the help of coffee. A more sharper and attentive mind when completing tasks is always a bonus.
Working at a desk all day can result in aches and pains from just sitting still so long. Encourage coffee breaks to not only get people moving, but to reduce pain from sitting – so your staff can focus solely on their work.
What else is coffee known for? Well, other proven effects are the burning of fat due to an increase in metabolic rate (induced by caffeine), A reduction in stress levels (as coffee is a great anti-inflammatory on the brain), it can even offer some protection against neurological diseases over time. Another great reason to have a drinks machine for daily drinking.
Though coffee can be a healthy daily great-tasting drink it’s also important to promote healthy use. As caffeine and coffee can be overconsumed, meaning it may cause headaches, and tiredness if too much is drunk.
In this post we’ll talk you through the different types of coffee machines available to you here at Brothers Coffee & Vending. It’s important to know what each machine is best suited to, whether you need a high output instant coffee vending machine, or a more traditional and artisanal coffee maker – each machine has its quirks.
I’m going to explain what each machine does with a few suggestions on how it could be used for business purposes. So starting off with the Barista Espresso Machine.
Barista Espresso Machine
Considered the gold standard of coffee making, a barista machine focuses solely on making freshly ground espresso shots. These machines often house their own boilers to save time when dispensing coffee for customers in coffee shops, cafes, and restaurants. Another common feature, found on our entire range of espresso machines, is the steam wand. Now, the steam wand is a great feature to have and is used to foam fresh milk. With the steam wand you can turn a dial to increase or decrease the pressure or aeration of the steam, this let’s you control the amount of froth and creaminess to be added to the espresso shot to make lattes and cappuccinos.
As you can see below, barista machines aren’t just about high performance, great tasting coffee, they look elegant in their own right – so I’m sure we could suit a style and performance machine to your business needs!
To freshly grind coffee beans for this machine you’ll need a coffee grinder, and we have a whole bunch of them for you to choose from in loads of different styles. On to our next type of coffee maker, the Bean to Cup Coffee Machine.
Bean To Cup Coffee Machine
For businesses looking to balance great taste with high output, a commercial bean to cup coffee machine is usually the solution for them. A bean to cup machine is exactly what it does. It takes freshly roasted coffee beans, usually kept in a hopper at the top of the machine, It then has a built in grinder that will grind and tamper into a coffee ‘puck’ ready to filter through hot water. This is all done at the touch of a button, in a short amount of time, so staff can focus on other jobs in such fast paced environments.
As standard most bean to cup machines will come with an LED touchscreen display or cluster of buttons for drink selection. They may even come with up to 3 hoppers to offer a wider range of drink choices including 2 coffee bean hoppers (one for medium roast, one for dark roast) and a hot chocolate hopper. Bean to cup’s are great all round machines that save you time and offer a selection of drinks not limited to just coffee. They also have a self-cleaning programme that can run at scheduled times.
See some images of the bean to cup coffee machines we have here at Brothers Coffee & Vending and be sure to let us know if we can help your business implement a coffee machine.

Recommending the right industrial coffee machines for your business is something that we take deep pride in. Purchasing a coffee machine for your workplace should be something that creates only benefits. It should boost team morale whilst increasing productivity and creativity levels.
Nothing dis-heartens us more than receiving calls from let down coffee lovers, asking if we’re able to help with a machine that they have been sold online. Knowing that they have been sold a machine that can only produce 50 cups a day when they need 50 an hour. Choosing the correct coffee machine for yourself can be a dispiriting effort and it is easy to make the wrong decision without the correct guidance but at Brother’s we ensure that every machine is the perfect match for the desired customer. If you, the customer, aren’t more than satisfied with your machine then we haven’t done our job.
Freshly roasted beans or instant?
In all honesty, freshly roasted coffee beans beat instant coffee every time, if you’re looking to create an authentic Brother’s coffee experience. We would thoroughly recommend using freshly roasted beans (especially our Deja Brew blend). That’s not to say that you can’t get a great drink from our instant range, our instant Colombian blend offer’s a great caramel flavoured, all day drinking coffee.
Fresh or powdered milk?
We always stress to our customer’s, fresh milk is not as daunting as it sounds, the majority of fresh milk machines are cleaned by the simple press of a button, allowing the coffee machine to put itself through a rinse whilst you continue with other tasks at hand.
As easy as fresh milk is to clean, it is worth noting that this must be a daily cleaning routine, whereas with powdered milk we would advise weekly.
How many drinks are you likely to produce each day?
One of the first questions our sales team always ask any potential customer is how many drinks are you likely to produce each day?
There is nothing worse than your business missing out on potential coffee sales due to your machine taking too long to produce that perfect drink when your needs are more aimed towards mass production.
What do your customers expect?
Which will best suit the need of your customers? Are they nipping in for a quick caffeine fix before they get on the road again, or are they after a social sit down over an Instagramable coffee?
If it’s just a quick fix, then a bean-to-cup machine is better for those in busy settings as it does all the work for you at the push of a button. Whereas, a traditional espresso machine takes longer to make but looks more aesthetically pleasing than a bean-to-cup machine.
Training your staff
We promise you that once trained, working with a traditional machine becomes second nature. However, it still does take training and practice so may not be ideal for businesses with a high turnover of staff.
In comparison, a push button bean-to-cup machine requires no skill from the member of staff other than serving your customer with a smile.
Professional installation & support with Brothers
Once you have chosen which coffee machine suits your business needs best, the next step is to think about getting it installed, set up and maintained. Unlike other companies, the aftercare and on-going support is included in our pricing, whether that be on the day call-outs or over the phone support and advice.
Types of Industrial Coffee Machines
Barista Espresso Machines
Brothers recommended choice:
GAGGIA LA REALE ESPRESSO MACHINE The best quality coffee that can possibly be produced, providing that the Barista is up to scratch and knows what they’re doing.
Barista espresso machines are mainly designed for restaurant use or for coffee shops, in environments where there is no compromise for the quality of coffee. This traditionally styled, top-of-the-range model is entirely shaped by light – not only the light that creates copper and steel reflections on its body, but also the suffused light of its LED profiles and its subtle, but suggestive, backlights.
The design delivers a shimmering effect, giving the machine its unique character as well as its scenographic impact: it’s virtually a mechanical sculpture. La Reale is also brimming with cutting-edge technology. Gaggia Milano believes that users shouldn’t have to choose between style and substance; that’s why, in La Reale, both come as standard.
Bean-to-Cup Coffee Machines
Bean-to-Cup coffee machines are extremely user friendly. They uniquely have a built-in grinder, meaning that all you need to do is add your delicious coffee beans to the machine and it will dispense your freshly grinded coffee at the touch of a button. Perfectly suited for the modern-day office coffee culture as well as being able to produce barista styled drinks to sell over the counter.
One of our greatest prides is the barista experience that we are able to create from these machines.
A stunning 10” HD display with touchscreen drink selection, the Gaggia La Radiosa is modern and sleek in design. With high capacity hoppers and milk supply. Craft the perfect cup of bean-to-cup coffee with the Italian Radiosa range.
Instant Coffee Machines
Instant coffee machines are extremely reliable, the drinks won’t be as high a quality as you’ll get from a bean-to-cup or traditional espresso machine but they won’t fail you.
Capable of producing the entire range of drinks as well delicious hot chocolates.
Perfectly suited for small offices, car dealerships or small shops.
These compact, high-speed instant coffee machines with multiple drink options and adjustable strengths are the perfect hot beverage machines for hotels, showrooms and office locations. The durable, stainless steel design and high-quality components compliment the high quality of the drinks. If you want a convenient frothy coffee or an intense and flavoursome espresso – then the Primo Instant Range is for you!
Coffee Vending Machine
Coffee vending machines are perfect industrial coffee machines, convenient for larger offices & factories.
Capable of producing the same quality as the instant coffee machines and with some even capable of offering bean to cup options.
Bring the coffee shop to your workplace. The Simplicity is a simple, easy to use machine bursting with innovative features. With an extensive drink range from frothy cappuccino’s to freshly brewed tea and even refreshing chilled drinks, the Simplicity offers the ultimate coffee break solution.
What else should you consider?
With constant innovation in every new industrial coffee machine, it can be hard to keep up with the latest and greatest features. That doesn’t mean the coffee will be better with a brand new latest model, it just may come with features that can help you as a barista or hospitality business. Features you may want to consider when deciding is:
Does it have a milk frothing system? Most of our systems do have an effective steam wand system that froths milk, as milk is just as important as coffee when making your drinks.
LED Screen? a touchscreen or digital display can help operate a machine with ease, quick buttons with obvious graphics make learning a new system much easier, these are more common in bean to cup machines to help you make perfect coffee.
What’s the capacity for coffee and water? Take note of what your estimated output will be as you’ll need to factor in how many coffee bean hopper changes you’ll have to make. This feature goes hand in hand with the dispensing time of each coffee.
What cleaning will need to be done? If you’re a busy business that doesn’t have the time to hand clean your machine and steam wands, then having a machine that’s programmed to clean itself would offer a clear benefit.
