Why Pay-Per-Cup Coffee Makes More Sense Than Buying a Machine Outright

-

When considering coffee options for your workplace, you’re faced with a big decision: Should you buy a coffee machine or rent one with pay-per-cup pricing?

At first glance, buying might seem like the more economical option—especially for growing teams that want to control costs. But when you break it down, pay-per-cup offers far more flexibility, predictability, and long-term value.

Let’s explore why forward-thinking businesses are ditching upfront purchases and choosing smarter, usage-based models.


💰 No Upfront Investment

High-quality commercial coffee machines can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000+ For many businesses, that capital expense is hard to justify, especially when team sizes or office needs can change.

With BrewLease’s pay-per-cup model, you eliminate the large upfront payment entirely. You only pay when your team actually uses the machine—making budgeting easier and cash flow more predictable.


🔧 Maintenance is Always Covered

Buying a machine means you’re responsible for all servicing, breakdowns, descaling, cleaning, and technical support. These costs can be unpredictable—and disruptive.

With BrewLease, maintenance and servicing are 100% included. We monitor machine health, provide support, and ensure you never have to worry about downtime or surprise repair bills.


📉 Avoid Underuse or Overuse

One of the most overlooked issues with buying a machine is the risk of mismatch. If you overestimate usage, you overspend. Underestimate, and you’re left with an overwhelmed machine that breaks down.

Pay-per-cup pricing scales with usage. If your office gets busier, you pay a bit more—but only in proportion to the coffee your team actually drinks. If usage drops, so does your cost. Simple, efficient, and fair.


📈 Transparent & Scalable Pricing

With traditional ownership, you're locked into a sunk cost regardless of how your business evolves. Expanding to new offices? Downsizing? Hosting visitors? None of that changes the fact that you paid thousands upfront.

Pay-per-cup offers flexibility:

  • No fixed contract or sunk costs

  • Transparent billing based on usage

  • Scalable with your business needs
