Coffee consumption as a contemporary beverage first emerged in modern-day Yemen in the mid-15th century at Sufi shrines, where coffee seeds were initially roasted and prepared in a way similar to current processes.
Coffee machine hire for London offices, corporate events and temporary workplaces.
Pearl Lemon Catering sources drip coffee makers, single-serve pod machines, commercial espresso machines, French presses and bean-to-cup systems (machines that grind beans and prepare drinks automatically). The machine format can be selected around the number of users, expected drink volume, available staff and the site’s power and water connections.
For offices with more than 50 employees, suitable options include machines capable of producing at least 100 to 120 cups per hour. Named options include the Jura GIGA X8 and WMF 1500S+, with automated milk frothing, programmable drink profiles and dual bean hoppers for multiple coffee options.

1. Tell Us What You Need
Tell us whether the machine is required for an office, corporate event, temporary workplace or personal setup.
Share the required date, London postcode, expected number of users, preferred drinks and any known power or water restrictions. You can send these details through our contact page or discuss them during a booking call.
2. Choose the Machine Format
Choose between a bean-to-cup system, commercial espresso machine, single-serve pod machine, drip coffee maker or French press.
The machine can be assessed against the expected drink volume, available staff, cleaning requirements and available space. For offices with more than 50 employees, the page recommends a machine producing at least 100 to 120 cups per hour.
3. Confirm the Site and Rental
The selected machine is checked against the site’s power, plumbing and water requirements before the rental is confirmed.
Commercial espresso machines may require a dedicated 13A or 32A connection. Fixed office equipment generally benefits from mains water, while machines used for events can operate with manual-fill tanks. London installations can also be assessed for WRAS-approved water filtration.
Booking note: Availability depends on the machine type, rental period, required date and installation requirements. Share the site details before confirming the booking so the equipment, power, plumbing and filtration requirements can be reviewed.
A suitable coffee machine must match the number of users, required drink output, available power, water supply, waste-water requirements and servicing needs.
Pearl Lemon Catering can use these details to help determine whether a bean-to-cup, espresso, pod, drip or French press setup fits the location.
The onboarding process can include a site check to review the existing power supply, mains-water connection and suitability of a manual-fill alternative.
Available formats include drip coffee makers, pod machines, commercial espresso machines, French presses and bean-to-cup systems. Machines are PAT tested before deployment, and installations use WRAS-compliant food-grade hoses and components.
