If you’re looking for a bean-to-cup machine, a drip brewer, a De Jong Duke, a Bevi, or cold brew dispensing for your office, this guide covers how each type works and what Denver Beverage can set up on the Front Range. Use the sections below to find the machine you’ve already been picturing, then reach out when you’re ready to talk specifics.
Office coffee isn’t one-size-fits-all. A team of ten and a team of two hundred need very different machines, and the names people use for them don’t always match the product categories. This guide connects the two.
A Quick Way to Choose
If you already know your situation, start here:
- Smaller teams and meeting rooms: Single-serve.
- A steady morning rush with consistent volume: Drip or batch brewer.
- 50 or more people who want variety: Bean-to-cup.
- Better hydration alongside coffee: Bevi.
- Cold coffee on tap: Cold brew.
Not sure? The sections below explain each one, and a free coffee taste test can settle the rest.
Bean-to-Cup (“Bean-to-Cup” / “De Jong Duke”)
A bean-to-cup coffee machine grinds whole coffee beans fresh for each cup. There are no pods and no pre-ground coffee sitting in a hopper waiting to go stale.
This is the machine category office managers and facilities buyers most often ask about by name, including by the De Jong Duke name. De Jong Duke is one of the commercial bean-to-cup platforms Denver Beverage works with. Which bean-to-cup models are currently available depends on your account, and the Denver Beverage team will walk you through the options.
Bean-to-cup suits offices where coffee quality is a priority and enough people are drinking throughout the day to justify the machine’s capacity, typically 50 or more people who want variety. For busier offices, this category of automatic coffee brewing equipment is often the right fit. Equipment is provided for qualified accounts at no charge, product is purchased through Denver Beverage, and Denver Beverage’s own technicians service it.
To find out whether a bean-to-cup setup fits your office, call 303-295-3737 or request a quote online. Denver Beverage responds to quote requests within 24 hours.
Drip / Batch Brewer (“Drip” / “Plug-In”)
When callers say “plug-in” or “drip,” they mean a batch brewer. It brews a full carafe or thermal airpot at a time, which makes it the right call for offices with a predictable morning rush and a consistent daily volume. There’s no per-cup complexity. Staff brew a pot, and it’s ready for whoever walks up next.
Denver Beverage supplies fractional pre-measured coffee packs for foodservice coffee, which takes the guesswork out of dosing. Creamers, filters, cups, and lids are also part of the supply program.
Drip programs can draw on the full roster described below. If your team has a brand preference, or you want to run a taste test before committing, Denver Beverage offers free coffee tasting to help you decide.
Batch drip is a practical, lower-complexity commercial coffee machine for offices that want good coffee without a specialty setup at every cup. For smaller teams or spaces that need a secondary station, it pairs well with a bean-to-cup machine elsewhere in the building.

Filtered Water and Bevi (“Bevi” / “Sparkling Water Machine”)
Bevi is a bottleless water dispenser that delivers still, sparkling, and flavored water on demand. There’s no water delivery, no plastic jugs, and no empties to manage. It connects to your building’s water line and filters it on the way through.
Office callers often ask about Bevi in the same conversation as coffee. The two are frequently set up together because the use cases overlap: the same people who want a good cup of coffee also want a better hydration option than a water cooler.
Denver Beverage carries Bevi alongside Borg & Overström and LaVit bottleless machines. All three are plumbed-in units that eliminate the cost and logistics of bottled water delivery. The right unit depends on your team size and the drinks your team actually reaches for, and your Denver Beverage rep can walk you through the differences.
For details on filtered water and Bevi machines and how they fit into an office refreshment program, call 303-295-3737 or request a quote online.
Single-Serve
Single-serve machines brew one cup at a time from a pod or capsule. They’re easy to operate, the variety is high, and cleanup is minimal. Because every cup brews on its own, they work best when demand is light and spread out through the day.
That makes them a good fit for smaller offices, and for meeting rooms and executive suites where individual preference matters more than speed or volume. If ten people are lined up to brew back to back, a single-serve machine will slow things down compared with a batch brewer or bean-to-cup machine. For a breakout room or a small satellite office, though, it’s often exactly right.
Curious what’s currently available for single-serve? Call 303-295-3737 and the team will walk you through it.
Cold Brew (“Cold Brew Equipment”)
Cold brew dispensing delivers chilled coffee on tap, typically from a keg-style format. It’s popular in creative offices and tech environments where staff want a ready-to-drink cold coffee that isn’t canned.
Call 303-295-3737 and the Denver Beverage team can tell you what’s currently on the program for cold brew and whether it fits your location.
Coffee Programs: Boyer’s, Starbucks, and Colorado Brands
One of the most common questions on office coffee calls is “Do you carry Starbucks?” The answer is yes. Denver Beverage’s coffee programs include Starbucks alongside a full roster of local and national brands: Ozo Organic Coffee, Queen City Collective, Boyer’s, Boulder Organic, Lavazza, and Peet’s.
Denver Beverage is the exclusive foodservice distributor for Boyer’s Coffee. Product supply for any machine type comes through the same Denver Beverage account.
Free coffee taste testing is available before you commit to any program. If your team has opinions about coffee (and most do), it’s a good way to land on something everyone actually wants to drink.
How the Program Works
Once you know the machine, the next questions are practical ones. These four come up on almost every office coffee service call:
- Contracts: Denver Beverage works on an account agreement basis. Contract terms depend on the program and your account details, and your rep will walk you through what applies to your setup.
- Install timing: Installs take planning and are rarely immediate. Once your account is set up, your rep will give you a realistic timeline. Don’t schedule around an install date before the paperwork is done.
- Service: Denver Beverage’s own technicians handle installation, preventive maintenance, and repairs, not third-party subcontractors. The team operates on 7-day service coverage with a 24-hour service response. Repairs carry a 90-day labor warranty, and all technicians are CFESA-trained.
- Cleaning: Maintenance and cleaning responsibilities are split. Your staff own daily and weekly cleaning, such as wiping surfaces and emptying drip trays. Denver Beverage’s technicians handle service calls when something needs a technician. Your rep will cover what the cleaning schedule looks like for the machine you choose.
For offices asking about pantry supply alongside coffee, Denver Beverage also handles snacks and pantry supply and can run both under one account.
Not Sure Which One? Start With a Taste Test
Picking a machine is easier once your team has tried the coffee. Denver Beverage has been Colorado-owned since 1986 and has served 2,400+ customers, and we offer a free coffee taste test so you can try the brands and brew styles before committing. Call 303-295-3737 or request a quote online, and a rep will get back to you within 24 hours.
