Most people know us for bean-to-cup.

Fewer know we kit out full barista setups.

We supply traditional espresso machines from La Marzocco, Faema and Fracino, with Mazzer and Mahlkönig grinders alongside them.

Treat the machine and grinder as one decision, not two. Get the pairing wrong and you’ll fight your setup every service.

Trade prices. Installation overseen start to finish by one person. Every machine calibrated to your recipes. 24hr engineer response. Discounted coffee for as long as you have it.

And the coffee going through it is Fairtrade, carbon neutral and B Corp certified.

How do you pick a coffee for your business?

Here’s what most suppliers won’t tell you. Our espresso beans all sit at roast strength 4. Carvi, Classic, Nick’s Roma, Archie’s Colombian. Same strength, four completely different cups.

So strength isn’t the decision. Flavour is.

☕ Carvi leans dark and nutty. Holds its own in milk.
☕ Archie’s Colombian is smoother. Chocolate and caramel.
☕ Nick’s Roma is sweet, syrupy and bold.
☕ Archie’s Decaf sits at strength 3. Softer, and genuinely good.

The real question: what are your customers actually ordering?

Your coffee is about 98% water.

Which makes it the biggest ingredient in the cup, and the one nobody thinks about.

Hard water flattens the flavour you paid for in the beans. It also builds limescale inside your machine until something expensive stops working.

A filter sorts both. We stock Brita Purity, Jura Claris and WMF cartridges.

Coffee tasting flat lately and you’ve already changed the beans? It’s the water.

Decaf has a reputation problem. So we’re here to fix it.

Archie’s Decaf is a Fairtrade single origin from Peru, decaffeinated using the Mountain Water process. Chemical free, and widely reckoned to be the only method that takes the caffeine out without taking the character with it.

☕ Roasted peanuts, soft milk chocolate, cookie dough
☕ Medium body, mild acidity, a touch of burnt sugar

The beans come from smaller farms where growers must preserve 35% of the land’s indigenous habitats. Wildlife protected, farmers paid.

If you serve decaf as an afterthought, your customers can tell.

Unpopular opinion: your grinder matters more than your machine

World-class beans, a £10,000 espresso machine, and an inconsistent grind will still hand you a bitter shot.

Too fine and the water crawls through. Bitter and harsh. Too coarse and it races past. Thin and sour.

Consistency is the whole game. That’s what you’re paying for in a proper commercial burr grinder.

We supply Mazzer, Mahlkönig and Faema...

Getting inconsistent shots? Check the grinder before you blame the beans.

Barista-style drinks. No barista required.

The Franke S700 is a two-step machine. Your team steams the milk in a jug and hand-pours the drink, so you get the craft of a traditional setup without the training.

Built for cafes and restaurants doing up to 250 cups a day.

Spec it with manual or fully-automatic steam arms, separate regular and decaf hoppers, iQ Flow brewing and a Brita C1100 filter. No milk fridge needed, so non-dairy and iced are easy.

Lease from £51.62 a week.


What’s your daily volume? Tell us and we’ll spec one properly.

Meet Carvi. Our Italian style espresso, and the quiet favourite of a lot of busy cafes.

Strong, without the bitterness that ruins the second cup.

☕ Roasted nuts, dark cocoa, sweet cedar-wood
☕ Smooth, creamy mouthfeel
☕ Thick crema, so it pours lovely latte art

Our recipe: 18g of coffee in, 55g of espresso out, in about 24 seconds.

Fairtrade. Carbon neutral.

Every bag of coffee we sell is connected to a farming community somewhere in Latin America, East Africa, or Southeast Asia.

Fairtrade pricing means those farmers receive a guaranteed minimum, whatever the market is doing. Stable income. Room to plan. A chance to invest in their own futures.

Through our partnership with Compassion, we also support income generation projects for caregivers in coffee-growing communities.

Your coffee does more than you might think.

Your office coffee machine should not be a source of stress.

If it breaks down regularly, takes forever to clean, or produces inconsistent drinks - it’s probably not the right machine for the space.

We help businesses find the right match based on volume, footfall, and how hands-on they want the setup to be. And every machine we supply comes with next-day breakdown cover and a dedicated account manager.

What’s your biggest frustration with your current setup? Genuinely curious.
