Choosing the right coffee machine for your business can be overwhelming, especially given the myriad of brands and technologies available. To simplify this process, HTG—the parent company of Taylor UK and Hubbard Systems—has introduced Barista Tech, a coffee machine supplier that helps operators find the perfect machine for their specific needs.
Barista Tech operates on a straightforward principle: their coffee machine specialists visit customers to discuss their coffee requirements, assess their site, and provide tailored machine recommendations. Typically, they present three different models from various manufacturers to suit the customer’s needs.
Collaborating with over a dozen renowned brands, including industry leaders like Synesso, La Marzocco, and Schaerer, Barista Tech’s experts can narrow down options from a wide selection of machines, including traditional espresso, bean-to-cup, and bulk brew systems. They take into account the customer’s requirements, skill levels of the staff, coffee preparation methods, and budget—ranging anywhere from £4,000 to £40,000. Sustainability, operating costs, and staff shortages are also considered in their recommendations.
Barista Tech provides a comprehensive coffee solution, offering everything from standalone coffee machine sales to complete packages that include machines, service, maintenance, high-quality coffee beans, and even the cups for serving. Additionally, they supply a variety of accessories, including grinders and water treatment systems.
Pete Gray, managing director of Barista Tech, states, “With years of experience in the coffee machine sector through a select range of brands, we understand the market and bring significant expertise to the table. With Barista Tech, our goal is to provide customers with an easy solution built on a wide array of machines and technologies. We handle the entire process—from the initial inquiry and proposals to installation, training, ancillary services, and ongoing support. We do the heavy lifting, allowing them to focus on their business.”
