Free coffee machine for a cafe
A free coffee machine for a cafe is the same trade we use for an office. Arico installs a Saeco Royal Plus. Servicing and tech support sit at $0 while you order beans from us each month. You pay for the coffee, from as little as 40 cents a cup. The machine line is not on the invoice.
Cafes search this because hardware quotes are expensive and a quiet week still has a rental on it. Offices search it for the same reason. We take the call either way. What you need on the floor is what the call is for.
What the machine is
Automatic bean-to-cup. Whole beans in a hopper, a grind per cup, a button. It does not need a trained barista standing on it. It does need a bench, power, and water.
Milk, cups, and a fit-out are yours. If the cafe already has those, the install is the machine and the monthly beans. How the free machine works is the full version of the trade.
When a cafe wants something else
A traditional espresso machine, a group head, and a person employed to pull shots is a different product. Plenty of cafes want that, and plenty want a simple second machine for staff or for a consistent cup when the main bar is busy. Say which one you are asking about. We install the Saeco. If the brief is a full cafe bar, we would rather hear it on the call than pretend the button machine is that bar.
That conversation is useful even when the machine is not the right one. It tells us what people are actually trying to replace.
What a cafe pays
No hardware rental while the monthly bean order continues. Stop ordering and the arrangement stops. Volume is whatever you pour: staff drinks, a simple customer cup, or both. Do not use an office headcount if the counter is the real number. The first month is allowed to correct the guess. Brian works the figure on the call, not from a blog post.
A free commercial coffee machine with a coffee purchase is this same structure with the search phrase people use when they are comparing suppliers.
What we need before it goes in
Power, water, bench space, and a person who can let us in. We are in Forestville and we install around Sydney. Getting a machine installed is the physical checklist, for a cafe counter as much as an office kitchen.

Yes, on the same terms as an office. Arico installs a Saeco Royal Plus. The machine, servicing, and tech support are $0 while you order beans each month. You pay for the coffee, from as little as 40 cents a cup.
Is this a traditional cafe espresso machine?
No. It is automatic bean-to-cup: a hopper, a grind per cup, a button. If you want a group head and a barista, say so on the call. We install the Saeco, and we still want to hear the brief.
