Best Coffee Machines for Small & Medium Businesses
Explore the best coffee machines for small businesses, medium businesses and teams that love exceptional coffee. Find the perfect solution for your workplace.
If you run a small or medium sized business it’s probably fairly safe to assume that some, if not all, of your team appreciates a great coffee.
But, what are the best small business coffee machines and office coffee machines? How do you choose a solution that supports safety and reinforces the values of your business? What are your priorities when picking a machine: is it size? Simplicity of operation? That it’s easy to clean? Which machine can deliver the quantity and quality of coffee you need – and quickly?
In this article we’ve done all the legwork for you so you can discover the best coffee machines for your small business or medium team and find the perfect machine for your workplace.
Choosing a coffee machine for your small or medium business? Here’s what to consider
Ease of use
Efficiency in a coffee machine should not be underestimated. It is, besides the taste factor, one of the most critical determining factors in choosing which coffee machine is right for your small or medium-sized business. And don’t be fooled either; what a coffee machine may lack in size it can definitely make up for in efficiency.
There is no compromising style with the sleek Nespresso Momento Coffee machine which offers capsule recognition to take the guesswork out of deciding which coffee is best with each blend. It’s also as quiet as a mouse meaning that the only added noise in your business will be your team’s roar of approval.
And Nespresso’s small but mighty Zenius Coffee Machine, provides black coffee recipes and hot water at the touch of a button.
Both the machines can be paired perfectly with a milk frother to produce silky smooth lattes and cappuccinos.
Simple to clean
When selecting a machine, you should also consider how easy it is to clean. A coffee machine will need to be cleaned daily, so having a device that you can care for simply and efficiently could be essential. You may even want to look for a machine that offers automatic cleaning functionality.
Make a sustainable coffee choice
The choice you make with your coffee can make a lasting impact on your people and on the planet.
In 2022, Nespresso became B Corp certified, reflecting a long-standing commitment to sustainability, from a global recycling program and precision consumption design to the AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program, launched in 2003 in partnership with the Rainforest Alliance.
For 20 years, Nespresso has built close relationships with AAA farmers: paying premiums for high-quality coffee, providing technical assistance to increase productivity and quality, increasing access to social services and advancing the role of women in coffee. This work has been carried out by our network of agronomists and has built trust and loyalty between Nespresso, coffee suppliers and farmers, ensuring the coffee that you drink is sourced from some of the world’s finest coffee beans.
Nespresso also chooses to make capsules from aluminium because it is a perfect barrier to oxygen, light, and humidity and protects the freshness and aromas of our coffee for a long time. Aluminium as a material can be repeatedly recycled without losing its properties. Through Nespresso’s national recycling program, both the aluminium and the coffee in our capsules can go on to have a second life, with the aluminium returned to industry to make useful products such as bicycles while the coffee grounds are turned into soil mix for landscaping.
Importantly, Nespresso machines and capsules have also been designed for precision consumption with systems optimising the use of resources such as energy, water, and most critically coffee all of which minimises waste.
Diverse teams enjoy coffee differently
Did you know most Australians opt for a milky coffee? Or that coffee lovers are as diverse in their tastes as they are passionate about their daily brew?
With so many different options when it comes to coffee creation, it’s important to choose a machine that can cater to the multitude of tastes and preferences of your people.
With a Nespresso Professional coffee machine you have access to over 16 diverse and high quality coffee blends and your team can make their favourite coffee with ease.
Given our love affair with milky coffees, it’s also essential to pair your machine with a milk frother or choose a coffee machine starter pack that includes a complementary milk frother. Alternatively, you should choose a machine that has a built-in milk component.
Safety and hygiene
As we all adapt to new challenges around health and safety in the workplace, a simple, convenient and safe solution for coffee is more important than ever.
Because coffee capsules come hermetically sealed, the coffee never touches human hands. Nespresso capsules are made from aluminium which protects the coffee from external elements that could impact its quality, preserving the carefully crafted aromas and rich flavours inside. So, with Nespresso you know you have a coffee solution you can trust that employees and guests will enjoy.
Nespresso imposes strict hygiene measures in all factories and facilities to ensure cleanliness and sanitation, and follows all the relevant advice from the government and local health authorities.
The stylish Nespresso Momento range also offers the option of touchless technology, in which you can use your phone as the remote control so you can make a coffee without touching the interactive touch screen display.
