Buying a second hand or ex-demo commercial coffee machine
Every machine in this range is a bean-to-cup automatic: it grinds, brews and froths milk at the press of a button, so staff need no barista training. A used commercial automatic can cost much less than a new one, but check a few things before you buy.
Match the machine to your daily cups
We rate each machine by the cups a day it comfortably handles. The WMF 1100 S is rated for up to 100 cups a day. It runs from a 4.5-litre water tank, so it needs no plumbed water connection, and it has two bean hoppers, each with its own grinder. The Jura GIGA X3 is also rated for up to 100 cups a day. It has a 5-litre tank, a 1 kg bean container and 32 drink options.
Tank or plumbed-in water
The Jura GIGA X3 runs from a 5-litre water tank, so it only needs a power point. The WMF 1100S has a 4.5-litre tank with an integrated filter, and it can be plumbed in if you would rather not refill it through the day. Plumbing in needs a cold water line and a drain nearby, so allow for a plumber if you go that way.
Ex-demo, refurbished or second hand
Ex-demo machines have been used for demonstrations or trials and usually have light use. Second hand machines have already worked in an office or café. Refurbished or reconditioned machines have been serviced and had worn parts replaced. Every machine we recondition goes through a fixed procedure for its model, and the product page lists what was fitted. On a Jura GIGA X3 that means a new brewing unit and drive motor, steam thermoblock and steam pump, ceramic and dispensing valves, cappuccino frother parts and milk hose, new steam-system O-rings and connectors, a steam temperature sensor and a drip tray grill, followed by a descale and a full clean. On a WMF 1100S we fit new brewing unit O-rings, a new foam suction chamber, plug-and-clean adaptor and milk hose, then descale and service the machine. The second-hand Jura WE8 gets a new brewing unit, grinder, thermoblock, ceramic valve, air suction and milk hose.
Warranty, servicing and running costs
Every refurbished and reconditioned machine we sell comes with a 12-month warranty, and we service the machines we sell ourselves rather than referring you to a third party. Budget for water filters and regular cleaning, which keep an automatic machine reliable. Our coffee machine cleaner range covers milk systems and brew units. If nothing here suits, compare new office and workplace coffee machines.
FAQs
Is it worth buying a second hand coffee machine?
For an office or café, often yes. A reconditioned commercial automatic costs much less than a new one and is built for daily volume: the machines on this page are rated for up to 100 cups a day. Whether it is good value depends on its condition, what was replaced during reconditioning and the warranty. Check that the rated capacity matches your daily cups and that someone can service it in your area.
What is the difference between ex-demo, refurbished and second hand coffee machines?
Ex-demo machines have been used for demonstrations or trials, so they usually have light use. Second hand machines have been in regular service in a home, office or café. Refurbished or reconditioned means the machine has been serviced and had worn parts replaced before resale. Each of our product pages lists which parts were replaced, and every refurbished or reconditioned machine we sell comes with a 12-month warranty.
Do your second hand coffee machines come with a warranty?
Yes. The machines in this collection are listed with a 12-month warranty. Each product page shows what else is included, such as delivery and setup. If you need the warranty terms in writing before you order, contact us and we will send them.
Can I buy a second hand coffee machine in Brisbane?
Yes. We sell online and deliver Australia-wide, including Brisbane and regional Queensland. Delivery is free on orders over $200. Order by 3pm Melbourne time on a business day for same-day dispatch, but reconditioned machines can take up to 10 working days to prepare, so check the product page for timing.
What should I check before buying a used commercial coffee machine?
Check four things:
- Daily capacity: the WMF 1100 S and Jura GIGA X3, for example, are each rated for up to 100 cups a day.
- Water supply: tank, plumbed-in or both.
- Power: the Jura GIGA X3 is rated at 220–240 V and 10 A.
- Parts and service: make sure parts and servicing are available for the brand.
Also ask what was replaced during reconditioning and how long the warranty runs.
Can I use these machines in a café?
They are better suited to offices, staff rooms, showrooms and self-serve areas than to a busy café counter. Jura and WMF design them for push-button drinks that anyone can make. A café serving coffee all day usually needs a traditional two- or three-group espresso machine with a dedicated grinder and a trained barista.
Do I need a plumber to install a second hand automatic coffee machine?
Not for the machines in this range. The Jura GIGA X3 has a 5-litre water tank and the WMF 1100 S has a 4.5-litre tank, so both can run from a power point alone. WMF also offers a continuous water supply for the 1100 S if you want it plumbed in, which saves refilling in busier workplaces.
