Coffee machines for a Melbourne office

Melbourne offices looking for a coffee machine usually land on hire first. Coffee machine hire Melbourne, coffee machine rental Melbourne, a lease with a term longer than the tenancy. The search is for hardware. The invoice is hardware plus whatever you drink.

Arico is a Sydney business in Forestville. We install in Melbourne as well. Same machine, same monthly beans, same call.

What the hire quote is selling

A unit on the bench for a term. Sometimes service inside that term, sometimes a call-out on top. Sometimes an exclusive bean or pod clause. Sometimes an exit fee if the floor moves to another building. We cannot summarise a contract we did not write. Read the one in front of you.

Hire versus a free machine is the paper comparison. Hire is not automatically a bad machine. It is a poor fit when you pay for the box in a quiet month.

The machine we put in

Automatic bean-to-cup. Whole beans, a grind per cup, a button. Arico installs a Saeco Royal Plus. It suits a kitchenette in a tower, a Richmond warehouse tea room, a staff room, or a waiting room off Collins Street.

A traditional group head with someone employed to run it is a different product. If that is the quote, say so. We still want the postcode.

The machine, servicing, and tech support are $0 while you order beans each month, from as little as 40 cents a cup. Stop ordering and the arrangement stops. How the free machine works is the terms. You do not own the machine. You also do not own the repair.

What the site needs

Power, water, and a bench. We put the machine in. We do not rebuild the kitchenette, supply milk or cups, or train anyone. Lift access and loading-dock hours are useful to mention. If the only tap is in a locked cleaner's cupboard, the machine runs from a tank someone fills.

Office coffee delivery is the monthly drop, roasted locally, by the kilogram. Who services the machine is what happens when it stops. We do not publish a same-day promise.

How much coffee a Melbourne floor drinks

Count the people who are actually in, not the names on the lease. Hybrid days in this city make the payroll number large and the hopper number smaller.

An office of twenty is the working example: twenty people, two cups, about 7 grams a cup as a planning dose, twenty working days, about 6 or 7 kilograms. Scale it. The first month corrects the guess.

The café run is the other quote a lot of Melbourne floors are already paying. Check that receipt next to the hire one.

How to start

Name, a phone number or email, postcode, rough headcount, what you use now. Brian rings, usually within a day, or you ring 0423 980 500. One call to see whether the site suits. If it does not, that is the first thing you hear.

A Melbourne office does not need a different machine from a Sydney one. It needs a bench, a postcode we can service, and a monthly order that matches the hopper.
