Coffee Machine Hire for Events & Conferences
Short-term espresso machine rental with delivery and setup included — hire equipment only, or pair with our barista hire service for a complete solution.
Commercial Espresso Machine Hire — Equipment Without the Overhead
Our coffee machine hire for events service provides access to commercial-grade espresso equipment on a short-term basis — without the cost or commitment of ownership. Whether you're organising a conference, running a corporate event, managing a venue, or hosting a private occasion, short-term coffee machine rental gives you professional equipment for exactly as long as you need it.
This is the right choice when you already have trained barista staff, your venue can source its own operators, or you want to combine hired equipment with our standalone barista service. It's a cost-effective alternative to full all-inclusive bar hire, and particularly practical for multi-day conferences and events where continuity and self-sufficiency matter.
All hires include delivery, setup, technical configuration, and collection — our team dials in the machine for your water supply and runs an operational handover so whoever's using it is confident from the start. Consumables can be supplied separately, or we can put together a complete starter kit if needed.
- Commercial La Marzocco and equivalent machines available
- Delivery, setup, and collection all included
- Available from a single day to several weeks
- Pair with barista hire for a fully staffed solution
- Suitable for conferences, venues, events, and pop-ups
How Coffee Machine Hire Works
Straightforward from enquiry to collection.
Share your event dates, venue, expected volume, and whether you need barista staff as well. We'll recommend the right machine specification and provide a quote.
We confirm your venue's power supply and water access so the right machine is matched to your setup. Most venues are compatible without any modification.
Hire period is agreed — from a single event day to multi-week conference rental. We schedule delivery and collection to fit your event timeline.
Our technicians deliver, install, and configure the machine — dialling in the grinder and running an operational walkthrough with your team or barista.
The machine is yours to operate for the hire period. We're on hand by phone if any questions arise, and our machines are serviced and reliable.
At the end of the hire period, we collect, clean, and service the machine. No storage, no transport, and no hassle for you.
