2. Capacity

Each coffee machine is rated in terms of the number of staff it is suitable for.  We base this on 60% of staff drinking 2 coffees per day 5 days per week.  This calculation accurately determines the average number of coffees a machine will make allowing us to ensure the machine has enough capacity to meet demand and will be reliable over its recommended life span.  This calculation allows for coffee you make for clients.

Select a model that has a staff rating that is greater than the number of staff you currently have and expect to have over the next 3 - 5 years.  If staff numbers grow unexpectedly, upgrading the machine is always an option.

3. Steam wand or Automatic milk system

A steam wand allows you to steam milk cafe style in a jug.  Manually steaming milk requires some training however you can steam any type of milk, regular, lite, soy almond etc and you have complete control over foam level and temperature.  There is some left over milk at the end of the process and a milk jug to wash.  The process can also be noisy if not done properly.

An automatic milk system draws milk directly from the milk fridge, heats the milk, adds air for foam and dispenses it directly into the cup.  There is no noise, mess or waste however you are limited to a max of three types of milk if you have a milk fridge with milk lances.  The milk lance system allows you to open the fridge and plug into the your prefer option without pulling tubes out of the milk.  There is space inside the fridge for 2 x 2 litre cartons and a 1 litre UHT carton.  Please note the Jura WE8 cannot be connected to a milk fridge and is limited to one type of milk.

4. Chocolates & Mochas

Do you need a machine at makes automatic chocolates and mochas?  The WMF range all make automatic chocolates and mochas.  To make a chocolate on a Jura automatic or manual machine, add 2 - 3 tea spoons of drinking chocolate 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.

5. Water tank or plumbed in

Some models operate from a built-in water tank only, some models must be connected to plumbing / drainage and some models provide the option of both.  Connecting the machine to plumbing and drainage reduces machine maintenance thought the course of 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 by using in tank water filters on tank water machines.  If plumbing and drainage are not available in the location you wish to position the machine a water tank model is the best option.  There is also a plumbing cost associated with connecting the machine to mains water / drainage and the mains water models are more expensive.

6. Space requirements

To check you have the bench space available for a machine go to the specifications tab for the machine.  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 bench top.  If you have overhead cupboards or shelves measure the distance between the bench top and the bottom of the cupboard / self.
