Hello all!
New to the forums, but have to say - brilliant site
Alas, I must confess - Im not exactly a coffee connoisseur, and usually just drink your standard Nescafe Blend XX with a touch of milk. But looking to change my ways with your help
I’ve got no idea with coffee machines unfortunately, so I’m pretty much open to all suggestions. I’m looking to buy a machine for the office. So here she goes:
Requirements:
- A coffee machine for the office.
- Simple and easy to use
- Easy to clean
- Reliable
- Preferably not a huge machine
- If possible, bigger capacity (to save constantly having to refill etc.)
Users
- Staff of 10 (plus a client here and there)
- On average, we’re looking at approx 20 cups (2 p.p) a day
Budget
- $1500~2500. I can push $3000, if there is a ‘must have machine’
- Will purchase outright (unless advised otherwise).
What we’re drinking
- Mainly white coffee (although I’m sure that will change with a fancy new machine)
Before I found this site, I was looking at a few brand name machines - Delonghi Primadonna & Magnifica, Saeco Royal Professional & Talea Touch > reading the Choice review and both the Magnifica & Saeco Talea are on the recommended list. My main worry is, while for consumer usage – might be fine, how would they fair in an office environment, where the machine would have to cough up at least 100 cups of coffee a week).
Many thanks in advance!
