Office coffee machines Melbourne CBD

Short answer: we supply, deliver and service office coffee machines across the Melbourne CBD – the Collins Street financial end, the William Street legal precinct near the courts, Spring Street government offices and the Hoddle Grid in between. A refurbished one-touch Jura, bought outright with a parts-and-labour warranty, sized for your busiest mid-week day, delivered through the building’s loading dock and set up on your floor. No contracts.

Key facts

  • CBD offices run hybrid: Tuesday to Thursday headcount is often double Monday and Friday. Size the machine for Wednesday.
  • Tower kitchenettes are small and shared. Jura’s compact one-touch models fit a standard tenancy kitchenette; office-grade models fit a floor of 30–60.
  • Deliveries go through the loading dock with a booking through building management – we arrange it.
  • The café downstairs charges $5.50–7. An office machine makes the same coffee for under a dollar a cup.

What CBD offices need

Hybrid-week capacity

A 40-person tenancy might have 15 people in on Monday and 40 on Wednesday. A machine sized for the average runs dry on the peak days, which are the days clients are in. We size on the Wednesday count – see what size coffee machine does your office need?

Quiet

Glass meeting rooms and open-plan floors carry sound. A loud grinder next to a client meeting is a problem; Jura’s grinders are among the quietest available, which is why they suit the legal and professional firms along William, Queen and Collins.

Small, shared kitchenettes

Tenancy kitchenettes are narrow and the bench is contested. A Jura ENA 8 is about 27cm wide; a WE8 fits a floor kitchen. Both fill from the top, so measure the clearance under the overhead cupboards.

No plumbing

Plumbing in a tower fit-out means building approval and a plumber. Tank-fed office-grade machines avoid it entirely and one refill a day is fine up to about 50 cups; above that we can arrange plumbing where a water point exists.

Who we supply in the CBD

Law firms and barristers’ chambers around William and Lonsdale Streets, accounting and advisory practices on Collins and Queen, government and association offices near Spring Street, recruiters, architects, engineering consultancies and co-working tenancies through the grid. The pages for law firms and accounting firms cover what those offices specifically need.

Delivery and set-up in a tower

  1. We book the loading dock and lift with your building management.
  2. The machine is delivered to your floor, set up on the bench, filter fitted, milk system connected.
  3. Ten-minute run-through for office management or reception.
  4. Servicing is on site or in our workshop – we collect and return through the same dock.

Beans in the CBD

The CBD is spoiled for cafés, which sets the standard the office machine has to meet. Dry, medium-roast whole beans through a Jura get there; supermarket beans do not. We deliver Melbourne-roasted beans to CBD offices weekly or fortnightly, no contract – office bean supply.

The numbers

A 30-person CBD firm making 40 coffees a day spends around $8,500 a year on beans, milk, consumables and servicing from an office machine – under a dollar a cup. The same coffees from the café in the lobby are around $55,000 a year, most of it staff money. Rentals pitched to CBD tenancies run $150–400 a month on 36–60 month terms; a refurbished WE8 bought outright is cheaper inside the first year – buy vs rent.
