Coffee Bean Counters: Great Coffee, Great Service!

Automatic Coffee vending machines are found just about everywhere these days. Whether you are taking your car for a service, working in a corporate office of buying milk in a convenience store – chances are that you’ll find a coffee vending machine sitting on a counter. Machines that have pumps, sensors, valves, and grinders to automate the brewing process are generally referred to as automatic.Automatic machines also automate the brewed volume. They do this by adding an in-line flow meter to the group head: when the programmed amount of water has passed through the meter, the pump turns off. Automatic machines automatically grind the coffee, tamp it, and extract the espresso shot. The operator only has to fill the bean hopper and, if the machine is not connected to a water line, add water to a reservoir. Some models contain an automated milk frothing and dispensing device. Super-automatic machines take away the ability to manually tamp and grind the coffee, which may affect the quality of the espresso.Many commercial machines can function in an automatic mode.Most super-automatic machines are more compact than a machine with a separate grinder. Don’t make the mistake of buying your coffee machine from just “any” company! Buying a coffee machine is a real investment in great coffee; it is also a real financial investment. So why wouldn’t you want to ensure that you are buying a great brand from a reputable supplier? Will you get a quality machine and will you get equally good back up service or be left high and dry when you need your grinder serviced. Coffee machines, like cars, need to be service every so many thousand cups. So buying from a reputable coffee machine dealer is important. Coffee Bean Counters makes great coffee machines which we know are really popular. Fortunately we also supply fantastic after sales service to all our customers and that loyalty has resulted in our office customers buying machines for their homes too! We also have experience of dealing with people who have bought their coffee machines from less competent suppliers. These companies are not coffee machine experts and often just add on a line of additional products to their existing business. They attract their customers with grand promises of “free” this and “free” that, not to mention “great pricing”. The problem is that “free” often means “shortcut” to poor quality and service. They simply are not competent to deal with technical issues and those promises soon become empty. Each coffee vended contains exactly the same amount of ingredients. This reduces the “heaped-teaspoon-effect” where your tin of coffee can disappear oh so quickly! Modern coffee vending machines are not only compact but can offer more choices that can include anything from an espresso to a cafe latte, cappuccino and yes, a plan white or black coffee too. Drinks can be selected with or without sugar and milk too, allowing an incredible choice of hot beverages. It’s great to offer clients and staff real choices. As the coffee machine holds all the ingredients inside airtight canisters, there are no messy Tupperware containers left out on kitchen or pause area tables to attract ants or cockroaches. The machines have automatic rinsing cycles and hot water is flushed through the dispensing pipes and mixing bowls to keep them clean. There is no waiting for the kettle to boil when you have a coffee vending machine. It remains on and ready for the moment you press the button. So be it late at night or early in the morning, you’ll get a hot cup of coffee anytime and fast! This also adds value in the office environment where getting a quick cup of coffee, means exactly that.
