Quick answer

Cup throughput depends on water tank size, bean or pod storage, drip tray capacity and milk workflow. Check those limits if several people use the machine.

What to check

  • Estimate drinks per morning or work block.
  • Check water tank size and refill access.
  • Review grounds bin, pod bin and drip tray capacity.
  • Check whether two cups can be made together or only one at a time.
  • Consider cleanup after milk drinks separately from black coffee.

Trade-offs

A larger tank or bin can reduce interruptions, but increases machine size. A compact machine can work well for one user but become frustrating for repeated drinks.
