SUSTAINABLE, TRIPLE-CERTIFIED COFFEE FOR UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES

A good coffee solution in universities and colleges is important – students need coffee to survive! How else are they going to fuel their study? Or where else will they meet to work in groups? How are they going to stay awake after a late night at the Student Union?! And it’s not just students – there’s the staff to consider, conferencing and visitors on your open days.

Originally designed with the busy millennial in mind, Smokin’ Bean is the perfect coffee partner for your education site. We’re an established TUCO coffee and coffee machine supplier with a strong history working as a coffee partner with various universities and colleges.

OUR AWESOME COFFEE

We are passionate about ethical coffee production. We have two delicious coffee blends that are freshly ground and served through our bean to cup or traditional coffee machines. Our Signature blend is triple-certified, Our Rocha blend is Fairtrade and Miriam’s Blend is Rainforest Alliance certified.

STATE OF THE ART COFFEE MACHINES

For self-serve, we have bean-to-cup coffee machines that can dispense barista quality drinks to your students, from lattes and cappuccinos to delicious hot chocolates and teas.

Alternatively, we can offer traditional barista operated machines for an authentic coffee experience, along with professional training from our SCA qualified team, and second to none service.

Both options are available with our premium café destination furniture, including brick design wall, exposed lighting and Smokin’ Bean illuminated sign.
