When it comes to purchasing a professional coffee machine, you generally have three options: buying a new machine, purchasing a used one, or acquiring one through a contract with a coffee supplier.

The third option is contract-based acquisition that can be complicated. It largely depends on the terms set by the supplier or roaster. While some agreements may be reasonable, many can be restrictive. Often, you're locked into buying a fixed amount of coffee regardless of your actual needs and are tied to the supplier’s pricing and quality standards. As a result, the overall value can decrease, especially when factoring in the technology provided under the contract. In many cases, purchasing your own machine especially through a hire purchase plan can provide greater long-term value and flexibility.
