Café-quality coffee for every London office
Coffee machines, freshly roasted speciality coffee, installation, training and technical support, all from one team.
One team for machines, coffee and support
Great coffee changes how a workplace feels — and it's one of the easiest things to get wrong. We're not a vending company bolting on coffee, and we're not just a roaster dropping off bags of beans.
We're a coffee company that also happens to be one of the UK's leading independent espresso machine service partners — supplying the machine, the coffee, the installation and the ongoing support, all from one team.
Coffee machines for every kind of office
Traditional espresso machines
For workplaces that want café-quality coffee and don't mind (or actively want) a barista-style setup — the best flat whites and cappuccinos in the building, made properly. Includes machines like the Victoria Arduino Eagle One, a compact, energy-efficient espresso machine we install regularly for London offices.
Bean-to-cup machines
Low-maintenance, consistent, and built for offices where speed and simplicity matter more than someone standing behind a machine — still using proper speciality beans, not pre-ground supermarket stock.
Filter & batch brew
For higher-volume offices, meeting rooms, and workplaces that get through a lot of coffee across the day without needing an espresso setup at every point.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best coffee machine for an office?
It depends on your team and how you want to drink coffee — a traditional espresso machine suits offices that want a café-style setup, while bean-to-cup suits offices that want speed and consistency without needing someone trained on an espresso machine. We'll help you decide based on your actual space and volume.
Should we choose a traditional espresso or bean-to-cup machine?
Traditional espresso machines give you full control over the coffee (and usually taste best), but need someone reasonably confident using them. Bean-to-cup machines are lower-maintenance and consistent from the first cup, which suits offices without a dedicated barista. Most workplaces we talk to make this decision based on volume and whether anyone in the office wants to be 'the coffee person.'
Can you supply both the coffee and the equipment?
Yes — that's the whole point of working with us rather than a pure equipment supplier or a pure coffee roaster. One team for the machine, the coffee, the training and the ongoing support.
Do you install office coffee machines?
Yes, our team handles installation as part of setting up your workplace coffee solution.
Do you service and maintain coffee machines in London?
Yes — Modern Standard Service provides preventative maintenance and reactive engineering for the equipment we supply.
Can you provide staff training?
Yes, training is part of every installation, and we stay involved afterwards rather than leaving your team to work it out.
What size machine does our workplace need?
It depends on headcount and how often people make coffee through the day — tell us about your team and we'll recommend the right size rather than guessing from a generic chart.
How much does an office coffee machine cost?
Costs vary by machine type, volume and whether you buy, rent or lease. Get in touch and we'll give you a clear proposal — no guesswork.
Can equipment be purchased, rented or leased?
Yes — we offer flexible options depending on what works best for your business. Talk to us about what suits you.
How quickly can you install a workplace coffee solution?
Timelines depend on the scope of the installation — we'll give you a clear timeframe as part of your proposal.
