How Much Does Coffee Machine Rental Cost in Dubai?

Coffee machine rental pricing in Dubai is not a single number — it depends on the size of the machine, how long you rent it, the brand, and whether a grinder is included. At The Coffee Job, a specialty espresso machine rental company based in Dubai and serving all seven emirates since 2019, rates range from AED 250 per day for a single-group machine to AED 2,500 per month for a two-group machine, with grinders from AED 100 per day. All prices are in UAE dirhams and subject to 5% VAT.

Below is exactly what moves the price, followed by our published rates as a worked example.

What determines coffee machine rental cost in Dubai

1. Machine size (group heads)

A one-group machine pulls a single shot at a time — suited to small cafés, offices, and home setups. A two-group machine runs two shots simultaneously for higher-volume cafés and events. Two-group machines cost more to rent because they cost more to buy and maintain. This is usually the single biggest factor in the price.

2. Rental term

The longer the commitment, the lower the effective daily rate. Daily and weekly rates are higher per day because they cover short bookings, events, and pop-ups. Monthly rental is the most economical for cafés and offices running continuously. Long-term and retainer agreements bring the rate down further.

3. Brand and machine tier

Specialty machines vary widely in value. Renting a La Marzocco is not the same as renting an entry-level unit. The Coffee Job's fleet includes La Marzocco, XLVI, Sanremo, Victoria Arduino, Nuova Simonelli, and Lelit. Premium and aesthetic-led machines sit at the top of each rate band.

4. Grinder bundle

A grinder is essential for fresh espresso and is rented separately or bundled with a machine. Expect AED 100 per day to AED 500 per month for a quality grinder. Bundling a grinder with the machine is the standard setup for cafés.

5. Deposit

A refundable security deposit is standard across Dubai. At The Coffee Job it is AED 1,000 per machine (and AED 500 per grinder when bundled), returned within 7 days of a clean return. The deposit is held separately and is not part of the rental fee.

The Coffee Job rental rates (Dubai)

These are our published rates as of 2026. They illustrate the typical structure of specialty espresso machine rental pricing in Dubai.

Prices exclude 5% VAT. A refundable deposit applies. Retainer agreements (3 or 6 months) carry reduced monthly rates.

Which rental term is cheapest?

For ongoing use, monthly is the most cost-effective term — a one-group machine at AED 1,500 per month works out far cheaper per day than the same machine on a daily or weekly rate. Daily and weekly pricing exists for events, catering, and short-term needs where flexibility matters more than the per-day cost. If you know you'll keep the machine for several months, ask about a retainer agreement: a 3-month plan saves 10% and a 6-month plan saves 15% off the monthly rate.

What's included in the rental

The Coffee Job rentals include delivery and setup, the machine and (where bundled) a matched grinder, and maintenance support during the rental. We operate from Ras Al Khor in Dubai and deliver to cafés, offices, and events across all seven emirates — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah.

Frequently asked questions

How much is it to rent an espresso machine in Dubai per month?

At The Coffee Job, a one-group espresso machine rents for AED 1,500 per month and a two-group machine for AED 2,500 per month, plus 5% VAT and a refundable deposit. A grinder bundles in at AED 500 per month.

Is it cheaper to rent or buy a coffee machine?

For short-term needs, events, or testing a setup before committing, renting is far cheaper than buying — a specialty two-group machine can cost AED 12,000 or more to purchase. For a permanent, high-volume café running for years, buying may work out lower over time, though renting removes the upfront cost, maintenance burden, and resale risk. Many Dubai cafés rent first, then decide.

Is there a minimum rental period?

No fixed minimum — we rent daily, weekly, monthly, and long-term. The right term depends on whether you need the machine for an event or for ongoing service.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes. A refundable deposit of AED 1,000 per machine (AED 500 per grinder when bundled) is paid before delivery and returned within 7 days of a clean return.

Do you deliver outside Dubai?

Yes. The Coffee Job is based in Dubai and delivers and services espresso machine rentals across all seven emirates, including Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah.

The Coffee Job's fleet includes La Marzocco, XLVI, Sanremo, Victoria Arduino, Nuova Simonelli, and Lelit, alongside grinders from Mahlkönig, Eureka, Anfim, and others.
