Short answer: buying outright is cheapest over five years if you have the cash and a service plan. Leasing spreads cost but usually locks your coffee supply too, and a free machine on loan is almost never free, it is priced into your beans.
Short answer: buying outright is the cheapest route over five years if you have the cash and arrange servicing separately. Leasing spreads the cost but is usually bundled with a coffee supply term. A machine on loan is not free, the cost sits inside your price per kilo and your minimum volume.
The number that matters is total cost of ownership across the full term: machine, finance, servicing, parts, filtration and the coffee price you are tied to. A lower headline lease payment with a higher price per kilo can easily cost more than a higher payment with market rate coffee.
The clauses worth reading twice are the term length, the auto renewal notice window, minimum volume commitments, early exit and settlement figures, and whether servicing is included or billed per visit. Those five decide whether you have flexibility in year three.
We do not need you to lease anything from us to help. Send us the agreement and we will read it and tell you what you are actually signed up to.
No. It is financed through your price per kilo, your minimum volume or the term length. That can still be a fair deal, but you should be able to see the trade.
One to three years is normal for a lease. Five year supply lock ins on a small machine are worth challenging.
Often yes, if the machine is owned or the finance is separate from supply. Where they are bundled, it depends on the wording; that is exactly what our contract review checks.
Our supply terms are rolling monthly with 30 day trade terms after the first paid order, with no machine subsidy strings.
