Hire beverage equipment for events: tea urns, water boilers, coffee machines, drink dispensers and juice machines. Online booking available.
Expo Hire stocks beverage equipment for events ranging from a basic tea station at a village fete to a commercial espresso setup at a corporate conference. The range covers hot water boilers, tea urns, coffee machines, juice dispensers and drink stations. All equipment is delivered clean with connection instructions.
Hot water boilers and tea urns are the standard choice for events with a large number of hot drink covers. A commercial urn holds 20 to 30 litres and keeps water at temperature continuously. They suit conferences, funerals, charity events and any occasion where a consistent supply of hot water for tea is needed without a barista or machine operator.
Commercial coffee machines range from simple filter units to bean-to-cup machines. Filter machines suit volume service where speed is more important than speciality. Bean-to-cup machines suit corporate events, product launches and breakfast meetings where coffee quality is part of the event experience and reflects on the host.
Juice dispensers hold chilled juice in a visible, refrigerated container and work well for breakfast events, buffet lunches and outdoor events. Drink dispensers with dispensing taps suit any self-service soft drink station where guests serve themselves through the event.
Conferences use beverage equipment for the refreshment breaks through the day. A full-day conference for 100 delegates needs at minimum two large urns and a coffee machine for morning and afternoon breaks, plus a cold drink option. Events with a breakfast or working lunch session need additional capacity.
Funerals and wakes rely on tea and coffee service. A urn and a simple coffee machine alongside a plentiful supply of cups handles most gatherings. The emphasis is on reliability and capacity rather than speciality coffee.
Corporate meetings and breakfast events use compact coffee machines and small urns. A bean-to-cup machine makes a strong impression at a board meeting or product presentation. Exhibitions with stand-based hospitality use a small urn or compact filter machine. Offering hot drinks on an exhibition stand increases dwell time noticeably.
A 20-litre urn produces around 80 to 90 cups of tea or instant coffee per fill. For a 100-person event with two breaks, two urns running simultaneously is a practical starting point. Coffee machine output per hour is listed on individual product pages. Expo Hire delivers beverage equipment across England and Wales. Equipment requires a 13A or 16A mains connection depending on the model. Book at least a week ahead for conference and corporate event orders.
