Hospitals, Hospices & Care Homes

A nice coffee will make you feel better…

Coffee machines for hospitals, hospices and care homes need to be efficient, easy to use, and capable of serving a large number of people.

Speed and Efficiency – Hospitals and care homes often have high demand for coffee, especially during peak times. Choose coffee machines that can brew coffee quickly and efficiently to minimize wait times for residents, patients, and staff.

Hygiene and Cleanliness – In environments where hygiene is paramount, such as hospitals and care homes, it’s essential to choose coffee machines that are easy to clean and maintain. Look for machines with removable parts that can be sanitized regularly to prevent the spread of germs.

Ease of Use – Many residents and patients in care homes and hospitals may have limited mobility or dexterity. Select coffee machines with simple controls and intuitive interfaces that are easy for anyone to operate, including elderly or disabled individuals.

Bean to Cup Coffee

Bean-to-cup machines can be an excellent option for care homes and hospitals due to their convenience, ease of use, and ability to produce high-quality coffee beverages.

Ease of Use – Bean-to-cup machines automate the entire coffee-making process, from grinding fresh coffee beans to brewing the perfect cup of coffee with the push of a button. This simplicity makes them easy to use for staff and residents/patients alike, regardless of their level of coffee-making experience.

Hygiene – Bean-to-cup machines are designed with hygiene in mind, with features such as self-cleaning systems and removable parts that can be easily sanitized. This helps maintain a clean and hygienic coffee service, which is essential in care environments where infection control is a priority.

Accessibility – Bean-to-cup machines are user-friendly and accessible to people of all abilities, including those with mobility issues or disabilities. They typically have simple controls and intuitive interfaces, making them easy to operate for residents, patients, and staff alike.

Bulk Brew Coffee

Bulk brew coffee machines can be a practical solution for hospitals and care homes, where there is often a need to serve large quantities of coffee quickly and efficiently.

High Volume Capacity – Bulk brew coffee machines are designed to produce large quantities of coffee in a single batch, making them suitable for serving a large number of residents, patients, and staff in hospitals and care homes. These machines can brew several gallons of coffee per cycle, accommodating the high demand for coffee during peak times.

Hygiene – Many bulk brew coffee machines are designed with hygiene in mind, with features such as self-cleaning cycles and removable parts that can be easily sanitized. This helps maintain a clean and hygienic coffee service, which is essential in healthcare environments where infection control is a priority.

Consistency – Bulk brew coffee machines ensure consistent quality across every batch of coffee, as they control brewing parameters such as water temperature, brewing time, and coffee-to-water ratio. This consistency is important for meeting the expectations of coffee drinkers in hospitals and care homes and ensures a positive coffee experience for everyone.

Traditional Espresso

Traditional espresso machines may not be the most suitable option for hospitals and care homes due to several factors specific to these environments. But, if you’re looking to create a coffee shop environment away from the main care areas, then a traditional espresso could be exactly what you’re looking for.

Premium Coffee Experience – Traditional espresso machines offer the ability to produce high-quality espresso shots and espresso-based beverages such as lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos. These beverages provide a premium coffee experience for patients, visitors, and staff who appreciate specialty coffee drinks. It’s an ideal way to create a sense of ‘normality’ in a possibly stressful environment.

Revenue Generation – Coffee shops equipped with traditional espresso machines can generate additional revenue for hospitals, hospices and care homes through coffee sales. Especially if they attract visitors, patients, and staff from both within and outside the facility. The proceeds from coffee sales can be reinvested into hospital facilities, programs, and services.
