Bean-to-cup coffee, perfected for offices and hospitality venues.

At Pact Coffee, we’ve developed the world’s first bean-to-cup optimised roast – designed specifically for commercial and office coffee machines. The result? A richer, smoother cup with all the flavour of a barista-made espresso, straight from your bean-to-cup machine.

Many workplaces and cafés rely on bean-to-cup machines, but not every bean is roasted to perform in one. To understand why our new roast delivers better flavour and consistency, it helps to look briefly at how these machines brew coffee.

Bean-to-cup machines mimic espresso brewing – but at lower pressure and temperature to protect internal components. But espresso machines are quite a bit more technical – they brew coffee at a very high temperature and pressure over a short space of time.

With an espresso machine, quality depends on the barista’s skill – grinding, dosing, tamping, and timing. A bean-to-cup machine automates these steps, making great coffee accessible to every team or venue.

That’s why bean-to-cup machines have transformed workplaces and hospitality venues alike – delivering café-quality drinks at the press of a button.

But the trade-off is that brewing at lower pressure and temperature means standard espresso beans can’t extract fully. Using these normal espresso beans, this produces coffee that tastes flat or watery.

That’s where Pact comes in. We’ve developed a roast profile specifically tuned for bean-to-cup extraction, balancing solubility and flavour development to maximise taste in lower-pressure machines.

After extensive tweaking and tasting trials, we perfected a roast level that dissolves more easily during extraction, giving you a stronger, sweeter, and smoother cup in compact machines. The flavour rivals that of a professional espresso setup.

How it works: the science behind bean-to-cup optimised coffee

If your bean-to-cup coffee sometimes tastes watery or thin, the issue likely isn’t your machine – it’s the beans.

Standard espresso beans are roasted for quick, high-pressure extraction. In bean-to-cup systems, this leads to under-extraction, where water passes through too fast to dissolve all the flavour compounds.

Extraction is simply how hot water pulls flavour from ground coffee. The longer and more efficient the extraction, the richer the taste.

Because bean-to-cup machines brew in shorter bursts than espresso machines, espresso-roasted beans can leave you with diluted, underdeveloped flavour.

Our bean-to-cup roast solves this. We’ve engineered it to be more soluble, allowing for fuller extraction in less time. You get a richer, bolder, and more balanced cup every time.

The result is coffee that’s consistently strong, smooth, and satisfying – perfect for offices, hotels, restaurants, cafés, and anywhere that quality matters.
