Q.   Those machines with the coffee beans displayed on top look really cool - do yours have that? Also some machines are really curvy and 'sexy' looking with bright graphics on the front.

A.   No - our bean canister is fully enclosed within the cabinet. The beans on top may look cool, but the clear or 'smoky' look plastic canisters holding the beans are exposed to ultra-violet light that accelerates the bean oxidization and ageing and that results in a poorer quality beverage.

As long as the bean container (or hopper) is not directly feeding the grinder i.e., it is for display purposes only, that style is fine. If that 'look' is desired our machines can be customised to provide that.

This aspect is particularly important in machines where bean usage is relatively slow. The traditional machines and larger super-automatic fresh milk machines found in cafes etc; will often have the top mounted bean hoppers but they may be consuming one or more kilograms of beans per day so the problem of exposure to UV is minimal.

Customisation of machines to your requirements is one of our specialties. You may wish to have your corporate colours for example, on the doors, front panels, etc; and the cost can be as little as $120 extra per machine. Other graphics can also be added which may use your logo or other art style markings that express your individuality.

These options are also available for our in-house rentals through 'Euro Caffe' and adds very little to the rental costs.

So - looks are important, but as they say, 'Beauty is only skin deep'. We think our range is very handsome and that the new 'Blue Light Family' is quite stunning.

However in the end we believe that performance is the all important criteria and we think ours perform as well as, if not better then the competitors. But then - we would say that wouldn't we!!
