Bean 2 Cup or Traditional

So which do you choose? Bean 2 Cup or Traditional Espresso Machine. In my opinion there is only one answer but let me preface that with some explanation.

Outlets are drawn to the Bean to Cup machines because of ease of use, you don’t have to train staff to steam the milk, fill and tamp the coffee handle or then make the coffee. BUT they miss the point - what you save on staff training on making coffee you more than make up on cleaning -and this is where the Bean to Cup coffee machine bites back!

Most traditional espresso machines are very reliable, easy and cheap to maintain -Bean to Cup are not -a service contract will cost you twice the price [or more ]

Despite what some people think to train someone to use a coffee machine is not such a burden but if you feel training is an issue then lack of training on a bean 2 cup will leave you without coffee and an expensive bill.

Why is this? Mainly because machines are not designed to take our high fat milk and milk frothers are prone to block up and malfunction within a short time.

So my advice is buy a Traditional, pay less, produce more coffees per day, have lower maintenance cost and a longer working life.
