Coffee Machine Hire for Bay Street and Fishermans Bend
Port Melbourne is really two suburbs. Bay Street runs cafes, restaurants, real estate offices and boutiques down to Station Pier and the Beacon Cove waterfront, while north of it Fishermans Bend holds one of the largest industrial and logistics areas in Melbourne, with manufacturers, film studios, defence contractors and wholesalers along Lorimer Street, Williamstown Road and Salmon Street. Consequently the two halves need completely different machines.
Port Melbourne sites rent from a range covering Franke, Saeco, Dr. Coffee, Necta, and Kalerm, installed by our own Caulfield South technicians about 25 minutes away via Kings Way and City Road. Fishermans Bend sites have dock and forklift access, so a large machine goes straight in, whereas Bay Street shopfronts are served from the rear lanes or an early morning kerbside bay. In addition, every unit we place is a superautomatic office coffee machine or traditional group head rated for trade use.
Why Factories and Shopfronts Here Both Rent
- ✔No capital request a commercial machine arrives without a $5,000 to $30,000 item on the plant register
- ✔Servicing built in visits, descaling, filters and parts all sit inside the weekly rate
- ✔Twenty five minutes via Kings Way which puts both halves of the suburb inside our 4–24 hour radius
- ✔Room to change - a studio can take machines for a production run and hand them back after; terms and conditions apply
- ✔Beans by the shift add the office coffee subscription and a two shift canteen never opens to an empty hopper
- ✔Delivered to the dock Fishermans Bend sites take a large machine straight in on the forklift
If the economics are the question, read our guide on why renting an office coffee machine in Melbourne makes sense, which covers both the office and the factory case.
Everything Bundled Into the Rate
We charge for none of the six items below separately, which is what keeps the whole cost in a single weekly figure.
Free Delivery & Installation
Fishermans Bend sites take delivery through the dock, Bay Street shopfronts from the rear lane or an early kerbside bay, and we plumb the machine in where a line is reachable.
Staff Training
On-site training for each shift or each crew, and also a refresher when a production or roster changes.
Booked Preventive Visits
We book visits ahead, and on a factory floor we shorten the interval because dust and heavy use wear a machine faster.
Ongoing Support
Call 1300 529 505 and a Port Melbourne fault raised early is normally attended within 4–24 hours.
Upgrade Options
If a shift is added or a production scales up, then add a machine or move up a size; terms and conditions apply.
A Single Weekly Total
Office machine and canteen machine arrive as one weekly total, so nothing lands separately on the maintenance budget.
Rent or Buy Across a Two Site Operation
Buying outright means $5,000 to $30,000 per machine, and a factory with a canteen and an office needs two. After that the servicing, filters, parts and any replacement fall to you. Instead, renting folds the pair into one weekly operating figure with maintenance included, which is easier to approve and far easier to forecast against a shift roster.
Read the full comparison: Office Coffee Machine Rental vs Buying Melbourne: Which Is More Cost-Effective?
- ✔No plant purchase because capital belongs in machinery and stock rather than a canteen appliance
- ✔Never on the register nothing to tag, depreciate or dispose of when it wears out
- ✔Heavy use is our problem. Pumps, grinders and filters are covered by the rate
- ✔Moves with the workload so a second shift means a bigger unit, not a purchase order
- ✔Stays in operating costs a weekly line rather than a capital purchase and a depreciation schedule
Different Machines for Each Half of the Suburb
Altogether we rent and service five office machine brands. A Fishermans Bend canteen is a throughput problem, whereas a Bay Street cafe is a cup quality one, so the range has to cover both properly.
🇨🇭 Franke
Swiss built superautomatics, and therefore our pick for a waterfront venue or a front office where the machine is seen.
🇮🇹 Saeco
Italian superautomatics that hold their shot through a long service, and likewise fit the narrow Bay Street counters.
☕ Dr. Coffee
Bean to cup machines with a plain touchscreen, especially useful on a set or a studio floor where crews rotate constantly.
⚡ Necta
High volume vending and automatic units, above all for a 120 person factory canteen running across two shifts.
🏆 Kalerm
Sturdy superautomatic office coffee machines built to keep going in a warm, busy industrial room.

Port Melbourne Site Questions
Our factory has 120 staff over two shifts and a small canteen. Is one machine enough?
Probably not for 120 people across shifts. Two high capacity units, or one vending style machine plus a fresh milk automatic for the office, keeps the queue moving at shift change. Because the load is concentrated rather than spread, we visit the site and count the actual peak before quoting anything.
Can a film studio rent machines for a production and return them after?
Yes. Machines can come in for a shoot and go out again afterwards; terms and conditions apply. Tell us the production dates and the crew size and we will price the term around them. For a set we usually recommend a tank fed unit so nothing has to be plumbed into a temporary space.
How do you deliver to a Bay Street shopfront with no rear lane?
We use an early morning kerbside bay before trade starts, which avoids both the parking restrictions and your customers. Where a rear lane does exist we use it instead. Either way we confirm the access at the quote visit rather than working it out on delivery day.
Can the canteen and the office run on one account?
Yes, and that is how most Fishermans Bend clients set it up. The canteen machine and the office machine sit under one agreement with a single service schedule and one invoice. Beans and consumables ride the same account on a cycle matched to your actual usage. Bay Street businesses in particular find our reliable delivery cycle keeps their coffee program running without interruption.
