Schools, colleges & universities
Self-serve coffee machines for schools, colleges and universities
Where a coffee-to-go station fits
Universities and colleges often suit student-facing areas such as libraries, study spaces and halls. Schools should usually focus on staff rooms, receptions and visitor areas. Check your catering contract and any existing café provision first.
How to assess daily coffee demand
Forecast term-time and holiday demand separately. Lecture changeovers, exam periods, open days and evening study create sharp peaks, while holidays can reduce sales significantly. Use realistic trading days rather than a full year.
Space, access and installation
Choose a supervised or well-used space with safe circulation and room to prepare a hot drink. Consider who may use the station, accessibility, and whether hot drinks are permitted in libraries or study areas.
Cleaning, refills and servicing
Agree whether estates, catering or a department owns daily cleaning and refills, including during holidays. Confirm payment options suitable for students and staff, and how faults are reported out of hours.
