Coffee Biz solved Village Green Early Learning Centre’s coffee needs with a JURA Professional X10 rental solution, designed to connect parents and staff.
Client Overview
When Village Green Early Learning Centre opened its doors in Remuera as the area’s premium, nature-based early learning facility, they had a vision that extended beyond just providing exceptional childcare. This innovative centre, where “imaginations run wild” and “every moment is an opportunity for natural discovery and safe exploration,” wanted to create a warm, welcoming environment that would foster connections between teachers and parents during the daily drop-off and pick-up routine.
The Challenge: More Than Just Child’s Play
Working alongside Jade Hurst from Good_Space interior design company and Smith Architects, Village Green sought to establish a sophisticated coffee solution that would complement their nature-focused philosophy whilst serving the practical needs of busy parents and dedicated staff. The challenge was finding equipment that could deliver café-quality beverages in a self-service environment, whilst maintaining the aesthetic integrity of their thoughtfully designed foyer space.
Village Green needed a solution that would be both reliable and user-friendly, catering to varying coffee preferences throughout the day. The centre required a system that could handle consistent daily use whilst remaining easy to maintain – essential qualities for any early childhood education environment where staff time is precious.
The Perfect Blend: JURA Professional Excellence
Coffee Biz recommended the JURA Professional X10, paired with the JURA 2.5 litre cool control system, complemented by premium Aroha coffee beans and JURA Care Products. This combination was selected not just for its functionality, but for how seamlessly it would integrate into Village Green’s design-conscious environment.
The JURA X10 represents the high-quality and durability that JURA is renowned for worldwide. This professional automatic specialty coffee machine offers an impressive selection of 35 different beverages, including traditional coffee classics, double specialty coffees with milk, and even cold brew options – ensuring that whether parents prefer their morning cappuccino or afternoon iced coffee, every palate is catered for.
Jade Hurst’s familiarity with JURA machines proved invaluable during the selection process. Having experienced firsthand the high-quality and durability that JURA represents, she understood that this brand aligned perfectly with Village Green’s commitment to sustainability and excellence. The machine’s clean, contemporary lines complemented the foyer’s design aesthetic, proving that functional equipment can also serve as an attractive interior design element.
A Rental Solution That Makes Perfect Sense
Understanding the unique needs of educational establishments, Coffee Biz developed a customised rental solution for the JURA Professional X10. This approach provided Village Green with access to premium coffee technology without the significant upfront investment, whilst ensuring ongoing support and maintenance through Coffee Biz’s comprehensive service programme.
The rental arrangement included the requirement to use Coffee Biz supplied Aroha coffee and JURA Care Products, ensuring optimal machine performance and beverage quality. This partnership approach guarantees that Village Green consistently delivers exceptional coffee experiences whilst maintaining the equipment in peak condition.
Results: A Recipe for Success
The implementation has exceeded expectations on multiple fronts. The JURA X10’s intuitive operation – featuring simple touch-button controls and a clear 3.5″ colour display – means that both staff and parents can easily navigate their coffee choices without requiring extensive training. The central spout design accommodates taller cups, adding practical flexibility for different preferences.
Maintenance has proven remarkably straightforward, thanks to the JURA Care products specifically designed to ensure perfect hygiene and protection. This ease of upkeep allows Village Green’s staff to focus on what they do best – nurturing young minds – whilst still providing a premium coffee experience.
The solution has successfully created the warm, interconnected environment that Village Green envisioned, where quality coffee conversations can flourish alongside quality childcare. It’s proof that when it comes to creating community spaces, the right coffee solution can be absolutely grounds for success.
Coffee Biz continues to support Village Green Early Learning Centre through ongoing maintenance and supply services, ensuring their coffee experience remains as exceptional as their educational provision.
