Deciding on the right vending package can be challenging. What machine will I require? What type of drink do I want to supply? Where is the best location for the machine? Am I getting the best deal from my existing supplier? These are all important questions. Although ultimately, only you can decide what's right for your business, we can offer some strategy suggestions to help you make the right choice. 

1. Capsule / Cartridge / Pod systems explained

Quick and easy to use and maintain, capsule machines use innovative systems that work in a similar way to a filter - but much faster. They are perfect for making speciality coffees and other drinks. The capsules are individually packed and sealed, ensuring that the fresh ground coffee, leaf tea or other drinks are always at their best.

Capsules are hermetically sealed pots of ground coffee, tea or ther drinks that are inserted into a drinks machine. The machine pierces the capsule and forces hot water through to make the drink. They contain just enough product for one shot and are mess-free. A quick and hassle free route to a homemade espresso, simply add a pre-packaged capsule of coffee to your machine, press a button, and wait for the drink to pour into your cup.

Capsule systems are ideal for locations where there is a need to serve quality drinks quickly and simply in relatively low volumes such as meeting rooms, small cafes, bakeries and sandwich shops.

Where quality filter coffee is required in small or large volumes, Bargaincoffee.co.uk's commercial filter coffee machine range caters for all requirements.

Pour and serve coffee brewers offer a simple, value for money way of solving corporate beverage needs. Put a filter paper in the basket, add coffee, pour a jug of fresh cold water in the machine and a few minutes later you have a jug of delicious fresh brewed coffee available to quench your thirst. The only drawback with these systems is that you can only serve coffee. 

If you are considering buying pour and serve equipment, the best choice to go for is a commercial quality machine. These are usually made of stainless steel, have two jugs, two hotplates and a more powerful boiler. They usually stand alone and do not require any plumbing. Bargaincoffee.co.uk supplies Bravilor equipment which is renowned for its durability and reliability.

A great blend delivered through a filter system provides a fresh, simple roast and ground coffee. Filter allows for multiple cups and top-ups from one brew. Ideal for locations where there is a steady demand for quality coffee such as bars, restaurants and open plan offices.
