Kenco Local Business Service do sometimes offer short term coffee machine hire and rental arrangements for exhibitions or film shoots. Typically we will only offer this with refurbished equipment.
The Kenco Singles machine is a good choice for this kind of application. It is small, can be manually filled with water or plumbed into the mains, delivers a wide range of good quality drinks including coffee, teas, hot chocolate, decaffeinated coffee, peppermint in fusion and Kenco cappio. It is easy to use easy to look after and we almost always have refurbished machines available for these short term rentals.
We can offer other types of equipment on a short term hire or rent but it does depend what we have in stock. For more information on this please call the office.
Kenco Local Business Service hold a wide range of spare parts for a large number of Kenco coffee machines and vending equipment. As Kraft have moved away from the equipment market and outsourced the manufacture of machines to others it has become increasingly difficult to source spares for variety of the older Kenco coffee and vending machines.
If you are looking for spare parts from a Kenco singles machine then we have everything you could possibly want available and often we have both new and second hand parts in stock. We also have fully trained technicians who can offer advice over the phone or visit you in order to fix a machine.
We still have most parts for the older Kenco range of in cup equipment such as the Compact, Connections and Network. There are one or two bits that we cannot now get hold of but for most problems we will have a solution. We can still source a number of the parts as new, but if we can’t then we can often offer a second hand part instead.
The Kenco Bunn bulk brew coffee equipment is still manufactured, albeit without the Kenco badge, and as such we can supply a full range of spare parts for these machines. Again we have a limited supply of second hand spare parts for these coffee machines if you are looking to keep costs down.
The Kenco K Bars are based on the Astro coffee vending machine and as such all parts are still available for this equipment. We have also acquired a large number of second hand spare parts for these machines.
If you have an old Kenco coffee vending machine and you require either a spare part or some technical advice, or even a technician visit in order to fix a problem then please give us a call. We have a wealth of knowledge about these machines and are always happy to help.
The Kenco Maxi, which you may know as a Crane Vision machine, is a robust table top coffee machine that will dispense a range of speciality coffees such as Cappuccinos, lattes and mochas as well as decaffeinated coffee, hot chocolate and hot water for tea. It also has a jug facility allowing it to be used for conferencing and meeting rooms.
The Maxi can be used in many different environments. It is fast dispensing so will cope with high demand situations where it needs to produce good quality coffee very quickly. This makes it ideal for breakfast rooms at hotels or in a canteen environment where there are a large number of people may need to use it in a short space of time. Because it has a relatively large hot tank it can also dispense large quantities of hot water for tea. Often this is a problem with table top coffee vending machine. The Kenco Maxi however, handles it easily.
The maxi will also dispense much larger drinks, up to a 12oz measure, if you would like to opt for a “coffee shop” feel. This is improved further if you make sure you use good quality Kenco freeze dried coffee such as Kenco Really Rich or Kenco Really Smooth and a good quality whitener such as Milfresh.
To further enhance the offering you could look at using Kenco Millicano. This is an instant coffee with 15% of it being made up of ground coffee beans. The result of this is more of a “bean to cup” quality drink, but without the hassle and cost of bean to cup equipment.
This quality means that this coffee machine can be used in an office environment or in a showroom for customers. We even have customers who use it in the café. The key thing is what product is used in the machine and how it is set up. We always set up our machines to suit the environment into which they are being placed. If you want a lower cup cost then we can reduce the drink volume, but if you want to maximise the quality of the drink we can increase the ingredients volume and unsure that you use the best quality products such as Millicano and Milfresh milk granules.
For more information on renting this coffee machine or any other then please call the office.
Kenco Local Business Service have just won a contract to replace some old soluble ingredient coffee vending machines at a corporate headquarters in London. It is a very good case study in the importance of providing a good quality product.
There are 150 people on site and through the old machines they were using less than 1000 drinks per week. This seemed very low to us when we were told and had confidence that our higher quality offering would result in a much higher weekly usage. In order that we ensured the best possible quality we provided four Kenco K Bar bean to cup coffee machines. These are stylish floor standing, fully automatic bean to cup coffee vending machines that offer a wide range of drinks from large 9oz cappuccinos and lattes to hot chocolate, tea and soup.
The uptake was phenomenal. Overall the number of drinks used more than doubled. Indeed one machine is now providing as many drinks per week as were originally being used across the whole site. It goes to show the importance of providing a decent quality drink. This isn’t only the coffee but also applies to the whitener. We use the best quality whitener on the market: Milfresh skimmed milk granules. This product contains only milk and as such produces a great quality and creamy cappuccino, latte and mocha.
If you are looking to rent or lease a coffee vending machine please give us a call. We can guide you through the options available and help you to choose the best quality offering.
Kenco Local Business Service have a wide variety of office coffee machine available to rent or lease. Typically we rent reconditioned coffee machines directly, which gives us much greater flexibility, and we will lease brand new equipment. Obviously in this case we are limited to what we happen to have in stock if you are looking to rent over a short term (for example one year). If however you are happy to commit to a longer lease contract (typically 3 years) then we can supply whatever you like.
The difference between a rental agreement and a lease agreement is that with a rent we directly invoice you every three months for the machine. Because we have complete control over the contract we can offer more flexible terms and shorter contracts. The downside with these types of agreements for us is that Kenco Local Business Service assume all of the risk. Because of this increased risk generally we only enter into direct rental agreements with reconditioned equipment. With a lease agreement the risk is assumed by a third party, typically and bank or other financial institution. We effectively sell the coffee machine to them and they lease it to you. In this instance they assume the risk which means that we have to use their agreements and the terms and conditions contained within. Obviously this means that there is less flexibility with these agreements but it does allow you to have the machine that you want.
The Kenco Singles brewer is ideal as an office coffee machine and we have both new a refurbished machine available, therefore enabling us to offer some phenomenal deals on this type of equipment. If you would prefer a fully automatic floor standing office coffee machine we have both new and refurbished Kenco K Bar machines available.
The Jura coffee machines are a very attractive machine that would grace any office. However due to their popularity we often do not have refurbished machines available. Having said this, given what they offer in terms of quality of drink they are great value for money.
The Korinto bean to cup coffee machine is another that has proven very successful in the office environment. As this is still relatively new to our range (having been introduced two and a half years ago) we only rarely have refurbished machines available. It is always worth asking though as the Korinto really is a fantastic coffee machine that fits very well into an office setting.
The range of refurbished equipment available for rental constantly varies so it is always worth asking what we have available. If you would rather have a new machine then there are still deals that we can do but there will always be a longer commitment on these. For more information please call the office.
Someone looking to earn some extra cash without giving up his/her regular job or business can always do so by investing in a simple vending business. The best part is that the initial start up costs can be kept low with vending machine rental . The companies that provide vending machine rental frequently keep the statistics such as the popularity of the items at a specific location which would be beneficial for a newbie. There are many multinational companies like soft drink companies which will actually offer you vending machine rental to enable you to dispense their products.
Ask your vending machine suppliers what kinds of terms are needed for vending machine rental . You certainly need to get it clarified who is going to be responsible for its maintenance. You do need to check while negotiating the vending machine rental certain things like whether the machine accepts dollars apart from coins. Any machine can develop snags so an annual maintenance contract for the vending machine is critical even when it has been taken on rental. Probably such machines need them even more since these are not new machines and you don’t know how gently or harshly they have been used.
If you have more vending machines than locations you could offer them on lease to offices. There are many offices which prefer vending machine rental to outright purchase to provide their personnel snacks and drinks. The office saves time which can be put to more productive activity since people don’t have to leave the office premises for refreshments. You should consult with vending machine suppliers on the best solution to your changing needs.

The very early models of coffee machines used to dispense coffee of indifferent quality making many swear off them. Over the years the coffee machine London has evolved in many ways making coffee drinking a celebration. You often get a choice between instant coffee and freshly ground and brewed coffee. With coffee machines dispensing the beverage of your choice anytime anywhere whenever you feel like it, you don’t have to despair at the thought of having to spend a small fortune every month to get the specialty coffee of your preference.
For great tasting coffees roasted and ground to perfection you don’t have to search far. Coffee roasting has different degrees depending on the desired taste of coffee – it can be roasted light to produce a lighter taste with no obvious roast flavor or it can be roasted dark to feel that smoky-sweet and intense coffee flavor. If you like to grind your own it is available in presentations, beans and ground. Stay away from the dark roasts, as these coffees are the least healthy. A good rule of thumb is that the darker the coffee is, the less healthy it will be. This is because the longer the coffee is roasted, the more of the antioxidants and minerals are stripped away, and eventually all that is left is the caffeine.
While the idea of having freshly-ground beans every morning is certainly tempting, there are several things that you should know about the bean to cup coffee machines before you set out to buy one. The fully automated bean to cup coffee machines will grind, tamp, brew and filter the coffee for you at the touch of a push button – in just one minute! Several small appliance makers manufacture a line of these machines, including Jura-Capresso, Saeco, Krups, Cuisinart, Bosch, DeLonghi and Gaggia.
When you want to source a coffee machine London , ensure that you deal with an authorized stockist or ideally with the manufacturers themselves. That will ascertain that you are getting original equipment with proper warranty and guarantee.
The refreshment requirements for a factory or warehouse are often very different than other workplaces. For example if you are looking to rent an office coffee machine the criteria that you use to make your choice will most probably be different. Typically there is more space available in a warehouse and with the likilehood of more agency or temporary staff in a more industrial setting you may feel that you need to keep a lid on the costs.
If you are looking for a floor standing, high capacity and fully automatic coffee vending machine then the K Bar in cup machine is a good bet. We have a number of these available as refurbished or second hand which means that we can offer very competitive terms. They have 16 choices and as such offer a wide range of drinks. It also features a full change giver so if you wish to charge your staff then you can. With the refurbished equipment it is also sometimes possible to place the coffee vending machine free of charge subject to a minimum usage. We can even visit your site to keep the coffee vending machine filled and cleaned, thus saving you an awful lot of time and hassle.
If you would prefer a new coffee vending machine then the Astro is a good choice. It will offer a wide range of coffees including cappuccinos and lattes, hot chocolate, tea, decaffeinated coffee and even soups if you wish. It is also available in a bean to cup version if you would like to offer your staff a better quality of drink. There is even the possibility of vending larger 9oz paper cups to give the drink more of a “coffee shop” feel. The drink cost of this may not be as much as you think. Again we can visit your premises to fill and clean the machine. We also have a small number of the bean to cup versions available as refurbished and as such we can offer some very good deals including, in certain circumstances, free loan.
The Rondo snacks vending machine is perfect to provide snacks and cold drinks to your workforce. It will vend a wide range of crisps, confectionery, healthier snacks as well as cans and bottles of soft drinks. We do, from time to time, have refurbished Rondos available, so as with the Astros and the K Bars we are then able to offer some very flexible rents or lease and, in some instances can offer the vending machine on free loan.
These larger machines are all suitable for a busy warehouse or factory environment. If you would like to speak to someone about them, or any of the other coffee vending and snack vending machines that we have available then please call the office where we would be happy to help.
We rent many different types coffee vending machines to our customers. In all cases there are some things that we offer as standard. It is worth bearing these in mind as many of our competitors do not offer these services as standard.
Kenco Local Business Service will always include delivery and installation of your coffee vending machine in any rental agreement. Often our competitors will charge extra for these. The other thing that we include is a full on site warranty with any rental agreement. Again this is often an extra charge with many of our competitors.
Lastly please consider staff training. It is absolutely imperative that the staff who will be operating your coffee machine are fully trained on it. This can head off all sorts of problems in the long run. Again we include staff training in any quote, and once again our competitors often don’t.
We have had instances where we have had to be the Knight in shining armour after a customer had signed a lease or rental agreement with another company only to find that these items were not included. It is always worth checking before you sign everything that you have the appropriate back up and training on any coffee equipment. In you are interested in renting or leasing a coffee machine then please call the office. We will always deal with you honestly and fairly.
Many, if not all, of the table top bean to cup coffee machines that we supply offer a hot water facility. Often the machine will not produce tea and so it is assumed that this hot water button can be used to produce tea, using a tea bag. In theory this is true, however it does sometimes present problems.
When using a manually filled bean to cup coffee machine such as the some of the Jura range, regular use of the hot water button will simply deplete the hot water tank very quickly, meaning that you will have to very regularly fill it up. Probably more regularly than is practical.
Obviously you could go for a plumbed in coffee machine such as the Jura Giga X9 or the Korinto bean to cup machine. This does solve the problem of having to constantly fill up the water tank. However there are still issues as regular use of the hot water button on these machines will lead to down times where the machine is heating up. When cold water is introduced into the tank, for instance after use of the hot water button has depleted the tank, the machine will have to heat the hot tank back up. While this is happening you will be unable to use the machine. In some instances, such as in an office, this is not necessarily the end of the world. However in a busy café or restaurant this is a problem.
In order to minimise the times when your coffee machine is out of action because it is heating we would suggest one of two things. You can either go for a very high capacity machine with two hot tanks, such as the Kobalto bean to cup machine, or you can add a hot water boiler to take some of the strain off of the coffee machine. It also means that if your coffee machine does break down for any reason you still have the ability to produce hot water.
We have found that if you are renting a bean to cup coffee machine a hot water boiler is a very good idea and will head off a raft of potential problems, particularly if you dispense a lot of hot water. If you would like to discuss renting a coffee machine and hot water boiler please call the office.
