Coffee Machine for Co-working Spaces

A guide to choosing the right coffee machine for your co-working space.

This guide will help you decide the right coffee machine for coworking spaces.  With more people working remotely or seeking more flexible work spaces, coworking spaces are being increasingly popular.  You may be an independent start up and having worked around the clock and invested your hard earned cash into renovating a space, you want to see the biggest return on investment.  ROI from a coworking space is only going to come from your clients using the space to its maximum potential.

Coworking doesn’t work for everyone, however, by creating a space with lots of different working environments it can help attract a larger client base.  Some people love to work in a vibrant, bustling workspace, whilst others prefer a quiet corner at times to put their head down to the work.  A lot of people are happy working in a coffee shop so providing good coffee in your co-working space will help draw these people to your space, you really need to take the coffee culture in your coworking space to the next level.  Holding free trial days in your space can help build momentum when you’re looking to attract more clients, and having a coffee machine offering top quality coffee will go a long way.  Remember that a lot of these people will have been used to buying 2 or 3 cups of coffee per day from coffee shops and if you offer this free in your space, this will be a big magnet as they could actually see themselves saving a few pennies each day by working from your space.

Co-working doesn’t work for everyone, however, by creating a space with lots of different working environments it can help attract a larger client base. Some people love to work in a vibrant, bustling workspace, whilst others prefer a quiet corner at times to put their head down to the work. A lot of people are happy working in a coffee shop so providing good coffee in your co-working space will help draw these people to your space. You really need to take the coffee culture in your coworking space to the next level, holding free trial days in your space can help build momentum. When you’re looking to attract more clients, and having a coffee machine offering top quality coffee will go a long way.  Remember that a lot of these people will have been used to buying 2 or 3 cups of coffee per day from coffee shops. If you offer this free in your space, this will be a big magnet as they could actually see themselves saving a few pennies each day by working from your space.

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

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.

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.

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.

Don’t forget the tea drinkers!

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.

Top 5 benefits of offering good coffee machines for co-working spaces:

  • Attract people who are used to working in coffee shops.
  • People will prefer working in your space rather than from home.
  • Create a good talking point that people can have in common and help enjoy the company of others.
  • Customers could save money working from your space rather than buying coffee from retailers.
  • Help you to retain customers by creating the warm and inviting experience.

Coffee machines for hospitals, the perfect solution!

Coffee machines for hospitals, the perfect solution!

Coffee Machines for Hospitals, the perfect solution!

Wellbeing Group has unveiled new contactless touchscreen technology for coffee machines, designed to reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses in a post Covid-19 world.  This new technology is the ultimate solution for coffee machines for hospitals whether it’s in a public area or a hospital staff room.

Partnering with leading manufacturers has allowed us to bring this technology to the market place to help offices and hospitals reduce touch points on their hot drink making facilities.

The touchless technology, known as ‛distance selection’, allows the user to select their drink from 2cms away from the screen – without physically touching it!

The system forms part of Wellbeing Group’s long-term ambition to make tea points safer, cleaner and healthier.

So which coffee machines is this technology available on and which coffee machines are most suited for the healthcare environment?

The Aviano bean to cup coffee machine has the touchless technology and would be suitable for hospital staff rooms.  This would allow staff to quickly make drinks between shifts and reduce the need to wipe the machine after each use, saving costs of wipes and the environmental impact.

If a payment system is required, a Nayax contactless system can be fitted or otherwise, a simple coin module can be fitted to the side of the machine to take coins and tokens.

For communal hospital area, the Aviano Maxi would be a good option as it is suited for high volume areas with its huge ingredient canisters.  This machine can be supplied with a base cabinet for the coffee waste to fall through into.  This coffee machine also has the touch free option so users can avoid touching the screen when they choose their hot drink.

We have supplied coffee machines and water cooler to many NHS trusts throughout the UK, including the Worcestershire NHS, Gloucestershire NHS, Hospitals in the South West, Wales and South Coast.  We have several packages available to suit any NHS requirement with special ingredient packages thrown in as a gesture to allow free drinks to be served when the machine is installed.  We are used the invoicing procedures of the NHS and a dedicated account manager is at hand to ensure we meet the requirements to help both parties avoid delays on payment and reduce admin times.

To find out more about coffee machines for hospitals or to get a quote, please feel free to contact one of our friendly team team.

Why Bean to Cup Machines Are Great For Large Offices

Bean to Cup Coffee Machines are probably the most satisfying type of machine, as they produce coffee shop quality coffee at the touch of a button. They are impressive and durable and almost everybody will be able to find a drink to satisfy them. Bean to Cup Machines create such a buzz, and quite rightly so because it is like having a full time barista in your office!

 

With these systems, there is no need to pack or grind the coffee beans yourself and maintenance is simple; although some light maintenance is required to ensure you get the best out of it. The routine would include topping up the ingredient canisters and emptying the coffee grouts bin and the drip tray.

 

These systems serve the classic crowd pleasers – cappuccinos and lattes. If you do opt for a bean to cup option, we recommend you look out for hot drinks machines that provide both fresh espresso coffee and real leaf tea.

 

For smaller offices, the Arezzo is also a wonderful machine with 6 drinks on its menu: Americano, cappuccino, espresso, hot chocolate, latte, mocha, as well as hot water. If a mains water feed isn’t possible, it can be plumbed in which is a handy option for a lot of workplaces.

 

However, our favourites, best suited to larger offices are as follows:

  • The Aviano Dual is a proven bestseller thanks to its attractive design and multiple options. We really love the fact it includes real leaf tea. Its angular touch screen makes it very easy to use so it’s well suited to visitors and first-time users as well as employees. This particular model is suitable for around 70 employees and will make around 250 cups a day.
  • The Aviano Maxi range is an ideal machine for offices with up to 100 members of staff. This machine combines fresh coffee, hot chocolate and milk options. It is an overall winner for larger offices. Its appeal comes from its canisters that are the same size as floor standing vending machines and it also boasts an attractive size, which means you won’t have to top it up too often. Drinks are made and served quickly and it has an external waste kit option that allows the liquid waste to be attached to the mains waste.
  • A reliable favourite of ours is the Cimbali S20 Simple to use, durable and attractive, this machine makes barista-style coffee. It makes around 250 cups and is great for companies with around 80 employees. We love the fact that this utilises fresh milk, providing the ultimate fresh coffee experience in the office.  
  • The Cimbali S30 is probably one of the most impressive machines. It brings coffee in the workplace to a whole new level. It can make around 400 cups a day and is easily suited to a business of 150 employees. Professional features such as the fresh milk options (hot and cold, froth etc.) and steam control revitalises the standard coffee machines you find in most offices. This machine is attractive and boasts an 8.4” digital touch display and a stylish stainless steel brewing unit. If you are looking for an exciting piece of kit and premium drinks, then this machine will not disappoint.

Touchless Office Coffee Machines

Wellbeing Group are pleased to introduce our innovative touchless coffee machine range. These contactless coffee machines minimise the risk of spreading viruses in the canteen areas of your workplace, meaning those of us that are worried about missing out on our treasured hot drinks, need not fear!  

With the possibility of hundreds of consumers touching coffee and vending machines every day, concern about the safety and hygiene of vending and coffee machines has been elevated by the Covid-19 pandemic, with mechanical push-buttons or touch-screen panels joining the list of potential transmission points for germs if they are not adequately cleaned.

Touchless Coffee Machine Innovation

Top 6 Touchless Coffee Machines for your Office is a guide as there are a few aspects to consider when looking for a touchless coffee machine that you can select your drink without touching the actual machine itself.  Some machines allow the coffee machine to connect to an app on your phone so you can order your drinks without touching the machine and others have special touch screen technology where you can select your drink from 2cms away from the screen!

The downside to using a hands free coffee machine with an app on your phone, is that it takes longer to make a drink by the time you get your phone out, open the app and make your selection.  You also still have to be in close proximity to the machine to put your cup in place, and communication with nearby users is required to avoid the possibility of clashing Bluetooth signals when making drinks.  Our touchless technology is much more convenient as you don’t need your phone and it can be retro fitted to some models of coffee machines.
