Used Coffee Machines for Fuel Stations

Used coffee machines for fuel stations — purchasing a used coffee machine is a smart solution for fuel stations looking to start coffee sales with minimal initial investment or to expand an existing coffee area with an additional machine; after careful inspection, a used machine delivers the same quality as a new one at a significantly lower price.

What a used coffee machine means in BHS’s offering

Used coffee machines for fuel stations — the status of the used machines offered by BHS is determined by several criteria. Sources of acquisition — BHS’s used machines come from cafés, office coffee service companies, or fuel stations that have updated their equipment; they are not damaged or scrap metal but were operational devices. Technical inspection — before sale, each machine is inspected; worn parts (pump, heater, compressed tubes) are replaced; a full service and calibration are performed; see Coffee Machines for Fuel Stations. The customer is protected against hidden defects. Software updates — for some models, BHS updates the control software to the latest version.

Comparison between used and new coffee machines

Used coffee machines for fuel stations — the choice between a new and a used machine depends on budget, risk tolerance and planned service life. Price difference — used commercial coffee machines are typically 30–60% cheaper than new equivalents; the savings can cover several months of coffee consumables costs. Service life — a quality commercial coffee machine with good maintenance serves 7–12 years; a used machine with average operating time may be halfway through its lifespan; see the Coffee Serving Area. Parts may not be available for older models; BHS selects only models for which parts are accessible. Maintenance costs — maintenance costs for an older machine may be slightly higher; total costs over the planned usage period should be calculated.

Usage scenarios for used machines at a fuel station

Used coffee machines for fuel stations — there are several situations where purchasing a used machine is the most sensible decision. Opening a new coffee area — a fuel station opening a coffee area for the first time can test the concept with a smaller investment; if coffee sells well, a new machine can be purchased; if not, losses are lower. Seasonal additional machine — at crossroads stations, there is a higher customer flow in summer; a used additional machine for the season is an economical solution. Backup machine — in case of a breakdown, a used machine serves as a backup while the main one is being repaired; see Coffee Table Fittings. Budget-limited new opening — a new fuel station with limited working capital starts operations with used equipment and grows investments from revenue.

Maintenance and operation — the same as for a new machine

Used coffee machines for fuel stations — a used coffee machine requires the same daily maintenance as a new one. Daily routine — refilling beans, refilling milk, emptying the drip tray, cleaning the exterior; automatic cleaning program; the same actions as for a new machine. Water filter — a water softener or filter protects the machine from limescale; limescale is the main cause of machine breakdowns; see Coffee Tables for Fuel Stations. Periodic deep maintenance — every 3–6 months, deep descaling and heater inspection; BHS can provide maintenance services.
