Are you looking for a coffee machine for your Oxford-based business or workplace? Find out more about the different options available and find the one that is right for you.

Coffee machines are now found frequently within most workplaces. Whilst we all love coffee, everyone has different preferences. This is why, at Nexus, we have supplied a broad range of options to Oxford-based businesses and homes over the past 25 years.

Whether you are searching for a machine that will provide you with an extensive selection of hot drinks or just a quick cup of quality coffee to get your day started, we have you covered.

What coffee machine options are there?

Whilst you may have heard the coffee machine terms ‘single-serve’ and ‘bean to cup’, it is often not very clear how they are different from one another or their advantages.

The crucial difference in each machine’s function is that bean to cup, as the name might suggest, is filled with beans which are then ground and brewed, whilst single-serve machines provide a broad selection of hot drinks one capsule at a time. Having provided hot drinks dispensers to Oxford and beyond for many years, we are knowledgeable of the myths that surround coffee machines.

It is because of this that we believe it is important for our customers to know about their options before committing to one.

Should I buy a bean-to-cup coffee machine?

The first, and most frequently misunderstood, of these two popular coffee dispenser options is the bean to cup coffee machine.

Despite being capable of serving an incredible cup of coffee, the maintenance and training required for bean to cup machines is often undervalued. Unlike the pricey steam arm coffee machines commonly found in cafés which use removable group heads for brewing ground coffee, bean to cup machines brew internally. This means that most of bean to cup models need to be disassembled and cleaned properly to remove used coffee grounds and guarantee quality.

So, despite these machines brewing some of the best cups of coffee for homes and workplaces in Oxford, it is worth noting that this is only possible if looked after.

Should I buy a single-serve coffee machine?

Single-serve machines, particularly such as our bestselling Flavia coffee machines, are the other popular hot drinks dispenser that we frequently supply around Oxford.

These capsule-based hot drink machines are used by many due to their wide range of options and their convenience, not requiring any training and very little maintenance. Single-serve machines are also brilliant for providing a variety of the UK’s favourite hot drinks brands, such as Mars, Kenco, and Yorkshire Tea.

Their single-use brewing method allow for switching easily between different drinks without any difficulty.

Can single-serve coffee machines be environmentally friendly?

Due to the waste often being associated with coffee machines, such as filters and refills, considering just how environmentally friendly using one is in your Oxford home or business is natural.

At Nexus, we care about being a sustainable supplier, offering sustainably packaged options whilst continuing to work with businesses such as Terracycle things that are more difficult to recycle.
