Choosing a coffee machine for your office is a significant decision. It's essential to select a machine that can handle the demand, as this directly impacts its reliability and lifespan. Each machine is rated based on the number of staff and the daily coffee consumption it can support. For instance, in an office with 100 staff members, the average daily coffee consumption is approximately 100 cups. This includes staff who drink one or more coffees, non-coffee drinkers, and client coffees. To ensure the machine operates within its capacity, it's advisable to choose a model with a higher staff rating than your current and projected staff numbers over the next 3-5 years. This also accommodates any unexpected staff growth. Upgrading the machine is always an option if necessary.

A steam wand lets you steam milk in a jug like your favourite café. Although it requires some practice, the benefits are significant. You can steam any type of milk—regular, lite, soy, almond, or oat—and have complete control over the foam level and temperature. Despite having leftover milk and a jug to clean, the process adds a personal touch and can be very satisfying.

An automatic milk system provides a convenient solution for milk steaming. It efficiently draws milk from the fridge, heats it, adds air for foam, and dispenses it directly into the cup. Operating quietly without creating a mess or waste, this system saves time. A (2 x 2 litre) milk fridge, equipped with milk lances, allows you to select from various dairy milk types without the hassle of removing tubes from the milk. The fridge accommodates two 2-litre cartons and one 1-litre UHT carton.

The WMF models have a built-in steam wand, while the Jura models do not. However, you can add a WPM ProSteam to a Jura machine for manual milk steaming.

Do you need a machine that makes automatic chocolates and mochas or chai if preferred?  The WMF range have a built-in soluble canister for chocolate or chai. To make chocolate or chai on a Jura automatic machine, or manual espresso machine, add 2 - 3 teaspoons of drinking chocolate, or chai, to some hot water and stir until dissolved.  Use the machine to add the milk, either the automatic milk system on a Jura or the steam wand on a manual machine.

Some models operate from a built-in water tank only, some must be connected to plumbing/drainage, and some provide both options. Connecting the machine to plumbing and drainage reduces machine maintenance throughout the day, as the water tank does not need to be filled, and the drip tray does not need to be emptied. The water filtration system also eliminates the need to descale the machine. Please note, descaling can also be eliminated when using a tank water machine by using in-tank water filters. There is a plumbing cost associated with connecting the machine to plumbing/drainage, and the mains water models are more expensive.

To check if you have bench space available for a machine, go to the machine's specifications table. There, you will find the bench width required for the machine by itself and for the machine with a milk cooler/fridge. You will also see the height clearance required above the benchtop. If you have overhead cupboards or shelves, measure the distance between the benchtop and the bottom of the cupboard/self.
