Starting or upgrading a coffee business requires more than just passion for great coffee. It demands the right equipment to deliver consistent quality and efficiency. Whether you are setting up a new café or expanding your existing coffee service, having the essential barista equipment is crucial. From coffee machines to branded cups, and from contract roasting to unique offerings like mushroom coffee, the right tools and supplies can make all the difference.
At Just In Coffee Group, we provide everything you need to build a successful coffee business. Our extensive range includes coffee machines, white label coffee, teas, hot chocolates, and much more. We also offer trade coffee subscriptions that remove the middleman, ensuring you get the freshest beans at competitive prices. Read on to discover the essential tools every barista should own and how we can support your coffee journey.
Essential Barista Equipment for Your Coffee Business
When it comes to setting up a coffee business, investing in quality equipment is non-negotiable. Here are some of the key essentials:
Coffee Machines
A reliable coffee machine is the heart of any coffee business. Whether you prefer espresso machines, filter coffee brewers, or automatic coffee makers, having the right machine ensures consistency and speed. We supply a variety of coffee machines tailored to different business sizes and needs. Our machines are easy to use, energy-efficient, and built to last.
Branded Cups and Packaging
Presentation matters. Custom-branded cups not only enhance your brand visibility but also create a memorable customer experience. We offer a range of branded cups that can be customised with your logo and design. This is a simple yet effective way to promote your business every time a customer enjoys their coffee.
White Label Coffee and Contract Roasting
If you want to offer a unique coffee blend under your own brand, our white label coffee service is perfect. We provide contract roasting, allowing you to create exclusive blends tailored to your taste and customer preferences. This service helps you stand out in a competitive market with a product that is truly yours.
Teas, Hot Chocolates, and Specialty Drinks
Diversify your menu with our selection of premium teas, hot chocolates, and innovative options like mushroom coffee. These products cater to a wider audience and add value to your offerings. Mushroom coffee, for example, is gaining popularity for its health benefits and unique flavour profile.
Barista Equipment and Ancillary Products
Beyond the coffee machine, there are many other tools that make a barista’s job easier and more efficient. These include grinders, tampers, milk frothers, scales, and cleaning supplies. We stock a comprehensive range of barista equipment and ancillary products to ensure your team has everything they need.

Trade Coffee Subscriptions and Dropshipping Services
One of the biggest challenges for coffee businesses is maintaining a steady supply of fresh, high-quality beans. Our trade coffee subscriptions remove the middleman, delivering freshly roasted coffee directly to your door on a schedule that suits your business. This service guarantees freshness and reduces supply chain hassles.
Additionally, our dropshipping service allows you to sell coffee and related products without holding inventory. This is ideal for businesses looking to expand their product range with minimal upfront investment.
