How to choose a commercial automatic coffee machine
Every machine on this page is bean-to-cup: it grinds whole beans, brews the shot and textures the milk by itself, so staff or customers only have to pick a drink. What separates them is how many cups a day they are built for, how they handle milk and water, and how much drink variety you need.
Start with cups per day
We rate each machine by the number of cups a day it comfortably handles, and the same figure is on its product page. The morning rush is when an undersized machine struggles, so estimate realistic drinks per person and leave some headroom.
- Up to 20 cups: Jura W8 and the second-hand Jura WE8. Suited to studios, small offices and meeting rooms.
- Up to 50 cups: Jura X10 and WMF Elevation 10. For small to medium offices and self-service areas.
- Up to 100 cups: Jura GIGA X3, WMF Peak 50 and WMF 1100S. For medium to large offices, canteens and showrooms.
- 150 to 200 cups: Jura GIGA X8c (150) and WMF 1500S+ (200). For office floors, conference venues, hotels and catering.
- Up to 300 cups: the WMF 5000S+, built for coffee shops, bakeries, petrol stations and quick-service venues.
Fresh milk and daily cleaning
All of these machines froth fresh milk, so the milk system needs cleaning every day. Jura's professional models have automatic one-touch milk system cleaning plus built-in rinsing, cleaning and descaling programmes. WMF uses Click+Clean on the Elevation 10, Peak 50 and 1100 S. The 1500 S+ and 5000 S+ can be fitted with AutoClean, which doses the cleaning granulate and rinses the coffee and milk systems for you. Our coffee machine cleaner range has the tablets and milk cleaners to keep on hand.
Water tank or plumbed in
The Jura W8 and the second-hand WE8 run from a 3-litre tank only, so they go anywhere with a power point, but someone has to refill them. The Jura X10 and GIGA X3 (5-litre tanks), the WMF Elevation 10 and Peak 50, and the WMF 1100S (4.5-litre tank) can run from their tank or be plumbed in, which saves refills and drip-tray emptying on busy sites. The Jura GIGA X8c, WMF 1500S+ and WMF 5000S+ need a fixed water connection and drain. Both brands use water filter cartridges to limit scale, so check your local water hardness before installation, and allow for a plumber if you connect to mains.
One grinder or two, and hot chocolate
A second grinder lets you offer two coffees side by side, such as a house blend and a decaf. The Jura W8, X10, WE8 and GIGA X3 (with a 1 kg hopper) and the WMF Elevation 10 have one grinder. The Jura GIGA X8c has two ceramic disc grinders with two 650 g hoppers, and the WMF 1100S and Peak 50 have two grinders. The WMF 1500S+ takes up to three bean hoppers with two grinders, and the 5000S+ has two bean hoppers plus a chocolate or chai canister.
For hot chocolate or chai from the same machine, look at WMF. The Elevation 10 has a separate powder hopper, the 1100S and Peak 50 can be configured with one, the 1500S+ can take a twin powder hopper and the 5000S+ adds a syrup station as well. Its Dynamic Milk system also makes several hot and cold foam textures. Jura machines make coffee, milk and hot water drinks only.
New or second hand
If your budget is tight or your volumes are modest, the second-hand Jura WE8 is the entry point to this range. Every reconditioned machine comes with a 12-month warranty. For heavier daily use, buy a new machine rated comfortably above your expected cups so it keeps up as the team grows.
Buy, lease or rent
You don't have to pay for a commercial machine upfront. There are three ways to put one in your workplace:
- Buy outright. Every machine includes delivery and set-up, and you buy coffee from any supplier.
- Lease over 24 or 36 months. An operating lease can cover the machine, installation and maintenance, with the option to upgrade, add to or hand back the equipment at the end of the term. A finance lease covers the equipment only, and you own the machine at the end. Both start with a free 7-day trial, you buy coffee from the supplier of your choice, and servicing and repairs are charged as needed.
- Rent with no lock-in contract. Our rental packages include a free 7-day trial, free service and repairs, a free loan machine while yours is away and free quarterly cleaning. Coffee is bought from our range.
Call 1300 365 487 or send an enquiry for a written quote on the option that suits you.
Beans and business pricing
Automatic machines grind on demand, so whole beans give the best cup. Start with our espresso coffee beans, or try dark roast coffee beans for a stronger milk coffee. Businesses that order coffee regularly can apply for a business account for B2B pricing of up to 25% off RRP.
FAQs
What is a commercial automatic coffee machine?
A commercial automatic coffee machine (also called fully automatic or bean-to-cup) grinds whole beans, brews the espresso and textures the milk by itself when someone taps a drink on the screen. Commercial models are built for higher daily volumes than home machines. They have larger bean and water capacity and automatic cleaning programmes, and some can be plumbed in. That suits offices, self-serve areas, hotels and venues without a trained barista.
How many cups a day does my office coffee machine need to make?
Multiply your headcount by the number of coffees each person drinks a day, then allow for visitors and meetings. A team of 20 drinking two coffees each needs about 40 cups. A machine rated for 50 cups, such as the Jura X10 or WMF Elevation 10, leaves headroom. Choose a model rated above your estimate rather than right at it, so it copes with the morning rush.
Can I use an automatic coffee machine in a cafe?
Yes, in the right venue. High-output models such as the WMF 5000 S+ are designed for coffee shops, bakeries and petrol stations, and they make consistent drinks without a trained barista. Many specialty cafes still prefer a traditional espresso machine and a barista so they can control each shot and the milk texture. Automatic machines suit self-serve counters, hotel breakfasts and venues where speed and consistency matter most.
Do commercial automatic coffee machines need to be plumbed in?
Not all of them. The Jura W8, X10 and GIGA X3 run from a refillable tank of 3 to 5 litres, so they only need a power point. The Jura GIGA X8c, WMF 1500S+ and WMF 5000S+ need a permanent water connection. The X10, GIGA X3, WMF Elevation 10, Peak 50 and 1100S can be plumbed in as an option. On busy sites a plumbed machine saves constant refilling. Check the power and water requirements of your chosen model before installation.
Can a commercial coffee machine also make hot chocolate?
Some can. The WMF Elevation 10 has a separate powder hopper for chocolate or chai, the 1100S and Peak 50 can be configured with one, and the WMF 1500 S+ can be fitted with a twin powder hopper for chocolate or other toppings. The WMF 5000 S+ has a powder hopper for chocolate or cocoa and a syrup station for flavoured drinks. That lets one machine serve coffee, hot chocolate and specialty drinks. Powder hoppers come on specific versions, so check the configuration on the product page or ask us before you order.
How do you clean a commercial automatic coffee machine?
Clean the milk system every day, and run the coffee cleaning and descaling programmes whenever the machine prompts you. Jura's professional machines have automatic one-touch milk system cleaning and built-in rinsing, cleaning and descaling programmes. On WMF models such as the Elevation 10 and 1100 S, Click+Clean handles the daily milk clean, and larger WMF models can be fitted with AutoClean. Use the tablets and milk cleaner the manufacturer specifies, available in our coffee machine cleaner range.
Can I lease or rent a commercial coffee machine instead of buying?
Yes. Machines can be financed over 24 or 36 months as an operating lease, which can cover the equipment, installation and maintenance and lets you upgrade or hand back at the end of the term, or as a finance lease, which covers the equipment only and leaves you owning the machine at the end. Both start with a free 7-day trial and let you buy coffee from any supplier, with servicing and repairs charged as needed. Or choose one of our rental packages: no lock-in contract, free service, repairs and loan machines, and free quarterly cleaning, with coffee bought from our range.
