An office coffee machine that comes with the coffee — and the karak
Most "office coffee machine Dubai" results are rental companies: you get the machine, then you go looking for beans, a service contract and someone to restock the pantry. ROAST × Cha Cha Chai turns that around. The bean-to-cup machine is the easy part — it comes on free loan with no deposit on a six-month bean commitment, or at AED 199 a month with no lock-in if you would rather not commit. What you are really buying is the coffee behind it: ROAST specialty beans and the authentic Cha Cha Chai karak your team actually asks for, restocked on a schedule, with servicing included in the pantry programme, on one monthly invoice. We reply within one working day (Monday to Friday).

Why the machine is the least interesting part
A machine rental company sells you hardware. We are a café group — ROAST Specialty Coffee (est. 2018) and Cha Cha Chai (est. 2013), nine points of sale and a dedicated Dubai Science Park cloud kitchen, rated 4.5–4.9★ on Google across our Dubai cafés (October 2026), with hundreds of public Google reviews per café. The machine is simply how our coffee gets onto your floor. What makes the plan different is what goes into it:
- ✦Specialty beans, not machine-vendor beans — the same ROAST coffee served across our cafés, restocked on a schedule
- ✦Authentic karak and saffron chai from Cha Cha Chai — delivered hot in 1L boardroom flasks (about six cups, from AED 40) or ten-cup trays (from AED 250)
- ✦Servicing and restocking included in the pantry programme — nobody in your office chases suppliers or deliveries
- ✦One itemised monthly invoice — VAT tax invoice with TRN, no petty-cash runs, no five suppliers to chase
- ✦Everything halal — from two licensed UAE F&B companies, ROAST LLC and CCC LLC, part of Missan Group
Already have a machine? Keep it.
You don't have to rip anything out. Keep your machine if you like it — we'll supply the coffee, fold your setup into one plan, and add real karak chai and Arabic coffee alongside proper specialty espresso. Most offices don't start from zero; they have a machine on loan and a pantry contract nobody remembers signing. We look at what you have, match or improve it, and put it on one invoice.
Pantry tiers by headcount
When you want the machine, the beans, the karak and the restocking handled as one programme, the managed pantry is sized to your floor:
- ✦Desk pantry (up to ~15 people): from AED 599 / month — about 3–4 kg specialty beans a month + 40 karak servings a week; bean-to-cup machine placed free (no deposit) on a 6-month plan; delivery and servicing; one VAT invoice
- ✦Floor pantry (~15–50 people): from AED 1,150 / month — about 8–10 kg beans a month + daily karak / gahwa flask rotation; priority servicing; quarterly bean rotation and tasting; free machine
- ✦HQ / multi-floor (~50+ people): from AED 2,200 / month or custom — commercial machine(s), unlimited-usage beans, daily karak + saffron gahwa, dedicated account manager
As a guide, the Desk tier from AED 599 a month works out to about AED 40 per person at 15 people and the Floor tier from AED 1,150 to about AED 38 per person at 30 people, excluding 5% VAT. For 50 or more people the HQ tier is from AED 2,200 a month or custom, priced to your set-up.
All prices exclude 5% VAT. The managed subscription rolls it all into one itemised monthly invoice, and 12-month terms save 8%. The full programme — karak supply, pantry restocking, barista bars for your floor — is on the office coffee & karak subscription page →

Common questions about office coffee machines
Do you supply an office coffee machine in Dubai?
Yes. A bean-to-cup machine comes on free loan with no deposit on a six-month bean commitment, or at AED 199 a month with no lock-in if you would rather not commit. The machine is the easy part — what sets the plan apart is ROAST specialty coffee and authentic Cha Cha Chai karak from the same supplier, on one monthly invoice.
Is there a deposit on the machine?
No. On the six-month bean commitment the bean-to-cup machine is placed on free loan with no deposit. If you would rather not commit, the machine is AED 199 a month with no lock-in.
What does the AED 199 a month option include?
The bean-to-cup machine with no lock-in, for offices that want to try us before committing to a bean plan. Add ROAST specialty beans and CCC karak on any schedule you like — karak flasks are from AED 40 and ten-cup trays from AED 250, paid per order — and move to the free-loan plan or a managed pantry whenever you're ready.
Who services and restocks the machine?
We do. Servicing and restocking are included in the pantry programme, so nobody in your office manages suppliers, orders or petty cash — it all rolls into one itemised monthly invoice.
Is a managed pantry an alternative to a coffee vending machine?
Yes, for offices that want fresh bean-to-cup coffee rather than a vending contract. The machine is on free loan with a six-month bean plan, or AED 199 a month with no lock-in, and we supply the specialty beans, servicing and restocking, with karak alongside, on one monthly invoice. Pantry plans are priced per tier from AED 599 a month, ex 5% VAT.
We already have a coffee machine — can we still work with you?
