Commercial Coffee Grinder Rental
A commercial coffee grinder decides how your coffee tastes long before the espresso machine gets involved. Rent a commercial coffee grinder from Rental+ and you get a professional burr grinder from Fracino or Faema on a fully maintained plan, with no upfront capital outlay. Cafes, coffee shops, restaurants, hotels and offices across the UK use our plans to keep the grind consistent through a busy service, while the servicing, the parts and the engineer visits stay our responsibility rather than yours.
Why rent your commercial coffee grinder from Rental+
Renting keeps your capital in the business rather than in equipment that loses value from the day it arrives. You pay a fixed weekly amount by direct debit on a multi-year plan, and every plan includes inclusive service and maintenance: call-outs, routine servicing, parts and Planned Preventive Maintenance at no extra cost. Our nationwide network of engineers looks after the unit wherever you trade, and our fix or replace commitment means a grinder that cannot be repaired is replaced rather than argued over. There is no upfront capital expenditure and no hidden costs.
What a commercial coffee grinder does that a domestic one cannot
Commercial grinders are built around burrs, not blades. A pair of burrs cuts the beans to a set particle size, so every dose extracts the same way, and the motor is geared to run all day without overheating. Blade grinders chop unevenly and belong in a kitchen at home. Every unit on this page is a burr grinder, which is why the grind holds up from the first coffee of the morning to the last.
Choosing the right commercial coffee grinder
Doser or on demand
A doser grinder holds ground coffee in a chamber and releases a measured dose at the lever, which suits a high volume bar where someone is pulling shots continuously. An on demand grinder, such as the Fracino Luxomatic, grinds straight into the basket only when you call for it, so nothing sits waiting and freshness is protected. If your covers arrive in waves rather than a constant stream, on demand is usually the better answer.
Flat or conical burrs
Flat burrs give a tight, uniform particle size and suit a house espresso you want repeatable to the gram. Conical burrs turn more slowly and run cooler, which protects delicate aromatics and forgives small variations in dosing. Neither is better in the abstract. Tell us what you are serving and how much of it, and we will match the burr set to the cup you are trying to produce.
Sizing by covers
One grinder is enough for most cafes serving a single espresso blend. Add decaf, a filter option or a second blend and a second grinder stops your baristas purging between drinks and throwing coffee away. Sites running two groups on espresso machines usually run two grinders. Hopper capacity matters as well, because a larger hopper means fewer top-ups in the middle of service.
Bench space and workflow
Measure the gap before you choose. A grinder sits alongside the espresso machine and needs clearance above it for the hopper and in front of it for the portafilter, and it wants to be within a quarter turn of the group head. Everything on this page runs on a standard supply, so siting is about space and workflow rather than services.

FAQs
Frequenty Asked Questions
What is a commercial coffee grinder?
A commercial coffee grinder is a burr grinder built for continuous use in a trade setting. Two burrs cut the beans to a set particle size so every dose extracts consistently, and the motor and gearing are sized to run through a full service without overheating. That is what separates it from a domestic grinder, which chops rather than cuts and cannot hold a consistent grind under volume.
Should I choose a doser or an on demand grinder?
Choose a doser if your baristas pull shots continuously and want a measured dose ready at the lever. Choose on demand if your covers come in waves, because it grinds straight into the basket only when called for and no coffee sits losing freshness in a chamber. Most cafes are better served by on demand; high volume espresso bars often prefer a doser.
How often do commercial grinder burrs need replacing?
Burrs are a wear part and their life depends on how much coffee passes through them. Rather than give you a figure that would not fit your site, we treat burrs as a serviceable part of the plan: routine servicing checks them, and replacement is covered by your inclusive service and maintenance rather than invoiced separately. You will not get a surprise bill for keeping the grind right.
Can I rent a grinder and an espresso machine on the same plan?
Yes. One plan can cover several pieces of equipment, and it can cover more than one site, so you can put a matched grinder and espresso machine into a single cafe or standardise the same setup across a group. You keep the flexibility to add or upgrade equipment as the business changes, all on the same weekly direct debit.
Is the equipment new or reconditioned?
Plans use new or reconditioned equipment. Reconditioned units are fully quality checked and maintained to the same standard as new stock, and every plan carries identical inclusive service and maintenance cover whichever you receive. If you have a preference, tell us when you request your quote and we will tell you what is available.
