Commercial coffee bean machine: what capacity should you choose and how can you ensure proper maintenance?

When choosing a bean-to-cup coffee machine for your business, one of the key criteria to consider is its capacity. The amount of coffee your business consumes on a daily basis will determine which machine is most suitable. If you have a small team, a compact machine may suffice. However, for larger offices or high-traffic workspaces, it is best to consider machines with a larger capacity.

What capacity should you choose for a bean-to-cup coffee machine in your business?


 

Small businesses and small offices

For a small office or small business, a commercial bean-to-cup coffee machine such as the Jura E6 can be an excellent choice. This machine can make up to 20 cups per day, which is perfect for environments with fewer employees. Its compact size and speed of use allow it to meet the needs of a small team, while ensuring consistent coffee quality.

 

Medium to large companies

For a business with a larger team, it is advisable to opt for more powerful machines, such as the Technicup CUP T. This model is designed to withstand more intensive use, with the capacity to prepare several coffees simultaneously. It is ideal for companies where coffee demand is high and constant. These machines are robust, reliable, and capable of handling a large volume of preparation without compromising coffee quality.

How can you ensure proper maintenance of a grain machine?

A commercial coffee bean machine is an investment that requires regular maintenance to ensure its longevity and efficiency. Here are a few tips on how to take good care of your machine.


 

Regular cleaning

Cleaning is one of the most important aspects of maintaining coffee quality and extending the life of the machine. Bean-to-cup coffee machines, such as the Jura E6, are equipped with automatic cleaning programs that make this task easier. It is recommended to clean the machine when prompted, especially removable components such as the coffee grounds container and water tank. Depending on how often the machine is used, a thorough cleaning should be performed weekly or monthly.

 

Maintenance of shredders

The coffee grinders in your commercial coffee machine must also be maintained regularly. It is important to check and clean the grinding wheels, as coffee residue can build up and affect the machine's performance. Maintaining the grinders ensures consistent, high-quality grinding, which is essential for perfect-tasting coffee.

 

Descaling

Water can be hard, especially if you are located in an area with mineral-rich water. This can cause limescale to build up in the machine, affecting its performance. Regular descaling, using specific products recommended by the manufacturer, is crucial to ensuring that your commercial bean-to-cup coffee machine works properly. Some models, such as the Technicup CUP T, have automatic descaling programs to simplify this task.
