⚖️ Renting vs Buying a Coffee Machine
Renting (Recommended for Most Small Offices)
- No large upfront cost
- Full servicing and repairs included
- Easy to upgrade or change machines
- Predictable weekly or monthly expenses
Buying
- High initial investment ($2,000–$8,000+)
- You pay for all ongoing maintenance and repairs
- Risk of costly downtime if something breaks
For most small Melbourne offices, renting offers far better flexibility, lower risk, and better value.
