Coffee Beans & Espresso Beans for Workplaces

Coffee beans for everyday workplace and hospitality service

Whole coffee beans are a good fit when you want fresh-ground drinks from a bean-to-cup machine, commercial grinder or fresh-ground vending machine. Supplied mainly in 1kg bags, they are easy to store in a staff kitchen, coffee point or back-of-house cupboard and help facilities teams replenish machines without relying on smaller retail packs.

This collection includes 1kg coffee beans, espresso blends, decaf coffee beans and case options for regular commercial use. You will find established Lavazza coffee beans as well as Amber Coffee Co, Lorenzo and Derwent Yard, giving you a choice of everyday workplace blends, Italian-style coffee and options for higher-use sites.

Brands and blends in the range

Lavazza coffee beans

Lavazza is a recognised choice for workplaces, vending, cafés and hospitality venues. The range includes Lavazza Super Crema, Lavazza Expert Crema & Aroma, Lavazza Expert Aroma Piu, Lavazza Expert Gusto Pieno, Lavazza Expert Aroma Top, Lavazza Qualità Rossa, Lavazza Crema Classica and Lavazza Dek Decaf. These blends provide a broad choice for sites that want a familiar brand in a commercial coffee format.

Amber Coffee Co beans

Amber Coffee Co offers a strong own-brand alternative in 1kg bags and case formats. House Blend, Everyday Blend and Italiano Blend are suited to offices, vending operators, cafés and hospitality venues that want reliable trade coffee without depending solely on larger national brands.

Lorenzo and Derwent Yard coffee

Lorenzo coffee beans bring an Italian-style option to espresso-led menus and workplace coffee machines. Derwent Yard Mill Roast is another straightforward 1kg commercial coffee choice for regular replenishment.

Match the beans to the machine and menu

For office bean-to-cup machines, consistency matters. Beans need to work reliably through repeated daily use while delivering a drink that suits a wide range of tastes. A balanced medium roast is often a sensible starting point for office coffee machines, as it can offer rounded flavour without being too oily. Always check your machine guidance, particularly if you run an automatic grinder.

For cafés, restaurants and coffee-led hospitality service, choose beans around the menu. Stronger and darker espresso blends can stand up well in milk-based drinks such as cappuccinos, lattes and flat whites. Smoother blends may be preferred in guest lounges, hotels and offices where people are likely to drink americanos or black coffee as well as milky drinks.

Fresh-ground vending machines use whole beans to grind coffee for each drink. They are commonly found in offices, showrooms, leisure venues, canteens and higher-end workplace coffee areas where a fresh-ground alternative to instant vending coffee is wanted.

Why 1kg bags and case packs work well

A 1kg bag is a familiar commercial format that fits day-to-day machine replenishment and stockroom storage. It also makes it easier to keep track of coffee usage and manage cost per cup across staff kitchens, reception areas and meeting spaces. If your site gets through coffee quickly, case options can reduce the need for frequent top-up orders and help keep the same blend available.

Higher-volume purchasing is particularly worth considering for busy offices, vending routes, cafés, catering teams and sites with several coffee machines. Check how much coffee each machine uses before ordering so you can hold enough stock without overfilling limited storage space.

Including decaf in your coffee offer

Keeping decaf beans available gives staff, guests and customers a non-caffeinated choice. Lavazza Dek Decaf is a recognised decaf bean option for workplaces and hospitality areas. For machine use, make sure you have a dedicated decaf bean hopper or a separate grinder available, as needed.

Complete your coffee station

Coffee beans are often ordered alongside granulated milk powder, vending milk powder, coffee syrups, sugar, sweeteners, paper cups, stirrers, takeaway cup lids and coffee machine cleaning products. Regular cleaning is especially important for bean-to-cup machines and commercial grinders, helping to maintain drink quality and machine performance.
