add a little extra to your workplace
Whether you’re upgrading an existing coffee facility or introducing one for the first time, Millsons Vending can help you find the perfect coffee machine suited to your business in Sussex.
A bean to cup coffee machine grinds whole beans fresh for every cup, then brews and pours your drink in one smooth process. No pods, no instant granules, just proper coffee at the touch of a button.
Millsons supplies, installs and maintains bean to cup machines for offices, schools, colleges, hospitals and hospitality venues across Kent, Sussex, Surrey, London and the South East. As part of our wider range of coffee machines in Kent and the South East, every bean to cup machine is matched to your site, your team and the number of cups you serve each day.
Why Choose a Bean to Cup Coffee Machine?
Better tasting coffee. Beans ground seconds before brewing keep their natural oils and aroma, giving a richer, smoother cup than anything from a jar.
A drink for everyone. One machine can serve espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte, flat white and hot chocolate, so everyone gets the drink they actually want.
Happier, more productive teams. Café quality coffee on site means better breaks, fewer trips to the high street and more time where it matters.
Less waste. No single use pods to throw away, and spent grounds can be composted.
Simple to use. Clear touchscreen or button menus mean anyone can make a great drink in seconds, with no barista training needed.
Bean to Cup Machines Sized for Your Site
Choosing the right machine comes down to daily demand, available space and the drinks you want to offer. Here is a guide to some of the machines we supply:
- Smaller teams: The Coffetek Vitro S1 Espresso suits sites making fewer than 60 cups a day, while the Rhea rhTT3 offers 12 direct selections and fits neatly under a kitchen cupboard. Browse our full range of Coffetek coffee machines.
- Fresh milk drinks: The Coffetek Vitro S1 MIA handles up to 80 cups a day and offers a plant based milk option. See more fresh milk coffee machines.
- Busy sites: The Franke A400, A600 and A800 produce barista style milk foam, and the A800’s triple boiler keeps up when the queue builds.
- High footfall areas: For receptions, canteens and public spaces, our freestanding coffee machines offer large capacity, cashless payment and eye catching displays.

The right business solution
“From the initial meeting and tender presentation, Millsons demonstrated their professionalism and their comprehensive vison of the vending offer they could provide us, including concepts they could introduce to our business over the contract duration to meet our specific customer profile and requirements.
Installing state of the art machines with our own branding, with full size digital screens for advertising has enhanced our offer. We have seen a considerable uptake of usage, with machines always well-presented and stocked, with some nice touches such as the coffee machines using local small batch coffee beans and having alternative milk available.
Millsons are approachable and provide detailed information at our quarterly meeting. We see working with them as a partnership that benefits both parties and of course the end users.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a bean to cup coffee machine work?
The machine stores whole beans in a hopper, grinds the exact amount needed for each drink, then brews it under pressure and adds hot water or milk. The whole process takes less than a minute.
What is the difference between bean to cup and instant coffee machines?
Instant machines mix soluble coffee with hot water, while bean to cup machines grind and brew real coffee beans for every cup. The result is a fresher, fuller flavour that is much closer to a coffee shop drink.
How many cups a day can a bean to cup machine make?
It depends on the model. Compact table top machines suit up to around 60 cups a day, while larger fresh milk and freestanding machines can serve hundreds. We will recommend a machine that matches your demand so you are not paying for capacity you do not need.
Do bean to cup machines need much cleaning?
Fresh milk machines need daily cleaning, though models such as the Franke A400 have an automatic cleaning system. With our fully managed service, we take care of it for you.
Can bean to cup machines make dairy free drinks?
Yes. Some models, such as the Coffetek Vitro S1 MIA, offer a plant based milk option, so team members who avoid dairy can still enjoy a latte or cappuccino.
Can a bean to cup machine make tea and hot chocolate?
Yes. Most machines also serve hot chocolate, and many include hot water or tea selections, so non coffee drinkers are catered for too.
