Coffee Machine Hire for Mentone Schools, Cafes and Showrooms
Mentone is defined by its schools. Mentone Grammar, Mentone Girls Grammar, Kilbreda College and St Bede's all sit within a few blocks of the station, and their staff and students keep Como Parade and Balcombe Road busy. Meanwhile the Nepean Highway carries car dealerships, showrooms and trade businesses, with the Moorabbin Airport commercial precinct just inland. Since 2017, Panica Coffee has been renting and servicing machines across that mix.
Mentone sites rent from a range covering Franke, Saeco, Dr. Coffee, Necta, and Kalerm, delivered and installed by our own Caulfield South technicians, who are about 15 minutes up the Nepean Highway. Because a 120 staff school and a dealership customer lounge run to completely different clocks, we schedule installs around them: schools outside drop off and pick up, showrooms before the doors open. In addition, every machine we place is a superautomatic office coffee machine built for continuous use.
Why Mentone Schools and Dealerships Rent
- ✔No capital budget needed a commercial machine arrives without a $5,000 to $30,000 purchase to approve
- ✔Servicing timed to your calendar visits, descaling and parts are covered, and for schools they land in the holidays
- ✔Fifteen minutes up the highway the Nepean Highway corridor puts a technician in Mentone quickly
- ✔Room to change - a school can add a third machine, or a dealership drop one; terms and conditions apply
- ✔Beans on the southern run add the office coffee subscription and a staff room is stocked before term starts
- ✔Programmable start times so the boiler is hot before a 7am service department opens

What a Mentone Rental Includes as Standard
Six things are built into every Mentone rental rather than billed as extras, so the weekly figure really is the entire cost.
Free Delivery & Installation
School installs are booked outside drop off and pick up, dealership lounges before the showroom opens, and we plumb the machine in where a line is reachable.
Staff Training
On-site training for staff room users, front office and service advisors, and also a refresher each new term.
Servicing in the Holidays
Visits are booked ahead, and for schools we place them in term breaks so nothing is disrupted during the teaching day.
Ongoing Support
Call 1300 529 505 and since the highway run is short, a Mentone callout is usually attended quickly.
Upgrade Options
If a second staff room opens or a lounge gets busier, then add a machine; terms and conditions apply.
Billed Monthly, One Line
Three machines across two staff rooms and a front office still arrive as one agreement and one monthly bill.
Rent or Buy Across Several Rooms
Buying outright means $5,000 to $30,000 per machine, and a school running one in each staff room plus a front office turns that into a capital submission. After that the servicing, parts and every replacement sit with you. Instead, renting folds the whole set into one agreement with maintenance included and one predictable bill.
Read the full comparison: Office Coffee Machine Rental vs Buying Melbourne: Which Is More Cost-Effective?
- ✔Stays out of capital because three machines would otherwise be a five figure purchase to justify
- ✔Nothing on the asset register the machines never have to be tracked or written down
- ✔All machines, one plan. Staff rooms and front office are serviced in the same visit
- ✔Adds a room easily so a new staff area means another machine, not another purchase
- ✔Simpler to administer a monthly operating cost rather than several purchases and depreciation schedules
Machines for Staff Rooms and Customer Lounges
Altogether we rent and service five office machine brands. A staff room at recess is a throughput problem, whereas a dealership lounge is a self serve one, so the range has to cover both.
🇨🇭 Franke
Swiss built superautomatics, and therefore our pick for a school front office or a showroom where the machine is on show.
🇮🇹 Saeco
Italian superautomatics that hold their shot all day, and likewise fit the compact benches in Como Parade shopfronts.
☕ Dr. Coffee
Bean to cup machines with a simple touchscreen, which is exactly what a dealership lounge needs when nobody is there to help.
⚡ Necta
High volume automatic units, above all for a 120 staff school clearing a room inside a short break.
🏆 Kalerm
Sturdy superautomatic office coffee machines with programmable start times, so the boiler is hot before a 7am opening.

Other Suburbs on the Nepean Highway Run
Panica rents espresso machines, bean to cup superautomatics and full workplace coffee solutions across Mentone, from the school precinct near the station out to the Nepean Highway showrooms.
Meanwhile the same run covers Cheltenham, Parkdale, Mordialloc, Highett and Braeside, so a school or dealer group with two sites is serviced together.

Mentone Business Managers Ask Us
A school with 120 staff wants coffee in two staff rooms and a front office. How is that priced?
As one rental agreement covering three machines, each sized for its own room, billed monthly with maintenance included. Because the staff rooms take a hard hit at recess and the front office does not, the three units are usually different sizes. Term time servicing is timed to the school holidays so nothing is disrupted during the teaching day.
Our dealership service department opens at 7am. Can the machine be ready that early?
Yes. Automatics carry a programmable start time, so the boiler is hot and the machine ready before your first customer arrives. For the customer lounge we set a simple self serve menu of three or four drinks, since nobody wants to ask a service advisor how the machine works.
When can you install without disrupting a school day?
We book school installs outside drop off and pick up windows, which usually means mid morning or early afternoon. Because Mentone sits about 15 minutes from our workshop, holding a narrow window is straightforward for us. Where the work involves plumbing we will tell you at the quote visit how long the room is out of use.
How do bean volumes work across term time and holidays?
We set the delivery cycle to your actual usage rather than a fixed quantity, so term time drops are larger and holiday drops smaller or paused. That keeps beans fresh instead of sitting in a store room over a six week break. Everything lands on the same account as the machines.
