Whether you’re setting up a new office, upgrading a tired breakroom or rolling out fresh coffee machines across multiple sites choosing between leasing and buying a commercial coffee machine is one of the first decisions you’ll make.
At Connect Vending, we offer both lease and outright purchase options across our full range of commercial coffee machines. Our team of experts will help you work out which option makes sense for your business, your budget and your team.
What is a Commercial Coffee Machine Lease?
Leasing a coffee machine for business use means paying a fixed monthly fee to use the equipment for an agreed period of time (typically 3 to 5 years). During the lease period you don’t own the commercial coffee machine, but you benefit from access to the equipment without a large upfront investment. At the end of the term, you’ll usually have the option to upgrade to a newer model, extend the agreement or take ownership of the machine outright.
Leasing is particuarly popular with businesses who want predictable outgoings and the flexibility to keep pace with the latest coffee technology.
What is an Outright Purchase of a Commercial Coffee Machine?
Buying a commercial coffee machine outright means paying for the equipment in full and owning it from day one. There are no monthly lease payments, no minimum term agreements and no restrictions on how or where you choose to use the coffee machine. Outright purchase is the most straightforward route to ownership and suits businesses that have the capital available and want full control over their assets.
Refurbished commercial coffee machines are also available if you want to reduce the upfront cost while still benefiting from full ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to lease a commercial coffee machine?
The monthly cost of leasing a commercial coffee machine depends on the type of machine, the length of the lease term and whether servicing is included in the agreement. Lease terms typically run from three to five years. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific requirements.
What's the difference between leasing and renting a commercial coffee machine?
Leasing typically involves a fixed-term agreement (usually three to five years) with the option to own the machine at the end. Renting tends to be shorter-term and more flexible, but often at a higher monthly cost. Leasing is generally more cost-effective for businesses with a clear long-term need.
Can I get a commercial coffee machine serviced as part of a lease?
es. Many of our lease agreements can include a full service and maintenance package, covering scheduled preventative maintenance, call-out cover and parts. This removes the hassle of managing servicing separately and ensures your machine is always running at its best.
Do you supply commercial coffee machines for small businesses?
Yes. We work with businesses of all sizes, from small offices with a handful of staff to large multi-site operations. We'll help you find a machine that matches the volume you need and the budget you have.
