Bean to Cup
A bean to cup machine grinds fresh beans, doses and extracts every drink at the touch of a button, so a member of staff with no barista training can serve a consistent flat white on their first shift. For offices, hotels, care homes, forecourts and self-serve counters that repeatability is the whole point: the two hundredth cappuccino of the day should taste like the first.
How the range scales
The range runs from compact machines such as the Ciao VS1, scaled for the dozen or two drinks a day a shop counter or small office kitchen honestly produces, through 60cm commercial cabinets like the Ciao Prima and Primo X, up to Jura Giga models rated for around 200 cups a day with twin grinders and twin hoppers. Start with volume rather than specification, because an undersized machine is the most expensive mistake in this category. Our guide to sizing a machine by cups per day works through the arithmetic, including the peak that actually decides it.
Three questions to settle
Then settle three questions. Milk: fresh milk from a chilled fridge tastes better and needs a nightly clean, while powdered topping is simpler and needs space for canisters. Water: plumbed into the mains for uninterrupted service, or a fill tank if the siting will not allow a supply. And cleaning: every machine here has a daily routine, and an honest answer about who will do it should narrow your shortlist more than any spec sheet.
Beans decide whether you reach the ceiling the machine sets, so read how to choose beans for a bean to cup machine before you order. If you would rather control grind, dose and milk yourself, compare these against a traditional espresso machine, or call 01706 216822 and we will size it against your real cup count.
Bean to cup questions we get asked
Do you need a trained barista to operate a bean to cup machine? No. The machine grinds fresh beans, doses and extracts every drink at the touch of a button, so a member of staff with no barista training can serve a consistent flat white on their first shift.
How do you work out which size you need? Start with volume rather than specification, and count your busiest hour rather than your daily total. An undersized machine is the most expensive mistake in this category. Our guide to sizing a machine by cups per day works through the arithmetic.
Fresh milk or powdered topping? Fresh milk from a chilled fridge tastes better and needs a nightly clean. Powdered topping is simpler and needs space for canisters. Answer honestly who will do the daily cleaning, because that narrows the shortlist faster than any spec sheet.
