One of the biggest reasons businesses choose a KLIX drinks machine is simple:
Choice.
Modern workplaces need to cater to more than just coffee drinkers. Employees, visitors and contractors all have different preferences, making drink variety an important consideration when selecting a workplace refreshment solution.
The KLIX drinks range from Lavazza Professional has been designed to offer something for everyone, including premium coffee, branded tea, hot chocolate and speciality drinks.
In this guide, we’ll explore the complete KLIX drinks range and explain why KLIX remains one of the UK’s most popular workplace drinks systems.

Which KLIX Drink Should I Choose?
One of the biggest advantages of KLIX is choice. With coffee, tea, hot chocolate and other options available, it’s easy to create a drinks selection that caters for different tastes across your workplace.

The right selection will depend on your workforce. A busy workplace with varied preferences may benefit from offering a mixture of coffee, tea and chocolate drinks rather than concentrating solely on coffee.
Who Is a KLIX Drinks Machine Best For?
KLIX is particularly well suited to workplaces where speed, drink variety and ease of use are important.
It can be an excellent choice for:
- Factories and manufacturing sites, particularly where large numbers of employees take breaks at similar times.
- Warehouses and distribution centres requiring quick and convenient refreshments throughout different shifts.
- Large offices where employees have a wide variety of drink preferences.
- Healthcare and 24-hour workplaces where refreshments may be required throughout the day and night.
- Staff canteens and break rooms where one machine needs to provide several different types of hot drink.
KLIX can also be particularly useful where tea is important. While many bean-to-cup machines are primarily designed around coffee, KLIX can provide coffee, tea, hot chocolate and other drinks from a single system.
For smaller workplaces where freshly ground premium coffee is the main priority, however, a bean-to-cup machine may be more appropriate.
The best solution isn’t necessarily the machine with the longest list of features. It’s the one that best matches what your employees actually want to drink.
What Drinks Are Available in a KLIX Machine?
KLIX machines offer a wide selection of beverages suitable for offices, warehouses, factories, hospitals and staff break rooms.
Depending on the machine model and configuration, available drinks can include:
- Lavazza coffee
- Cappuccino
- Latte
- Mocha
- White coffee
- Black coffee
- Twinings tea
- Hot chocolate
- Soup options
- Speciality drinks
This variety helps businesses cater to a wider range of employee preferences without needing multiple machines.
Lavazza Coffee in KLIX Machines
Coffee remains one of the most popular workplace drinks, and KLIX benefits from its partnership with Lavazza.
Lavazza is one of the world’s best-known coffee brands and is widely recognised for its premium Italian coffee heritage.
Popular KLIX coffee options include:
Black Coffee
A simple, convenient coffee option ideal for busy workplaces.
White Coffee
A smooth coffee option with added milk.
Cappuccino
A workplace favourite combining coffee and milk for a balanced flavour.
Latte
A milder coffee option suited to employees who prefer a smoother drink.
Mocha
A blend of coffee and chocolate for a sweeter alternative.
The availability of recognised Lavazza coffee helps elevate the workplace refreshment experience compared to traditional vending solutions.
Twinings Tea in KLIX Machines
Tea remains an essential part of workplace life in the UK.
One of KLIX’s biggest advantages is its ability to cater for tea drinkers as well as coffee drinkers.
Many KLIX machines offer:
- Twinings English Breakfast Tea
- Twinings speciality teas
- Herbal tea options
- Fruit infusions
This makes KLIX particularly attractive for workplaces where tea consumption is high.
Unlike many bean-to-cup coffee machines, which focus primarily on coffee, KLIX provides a more balanced drinks offering.
Hot Chocolate and Specialty Drinks
Not everyone wants tea or coffee.
That’s why hot chocolate remains one of the most popular products within the KLIX range.
Hot chocolate options provide:
- A caffeine-free alternative
- A popular winter drink
- A wider choice for visitors and staff
Many workplaces find that offering additional drink options helps improve employee satisfaction and encourages greater use of workplace refreshment facilities.
Soup Options Available Through KLIX
Selected KLIX systems can also provide soup options.
This can be particularly valuable in:
- Warehouses
- Manufacturing facilities
- Distribution centres
- Industrial workplaces
Providing a warm savoury option alongside hot drinks helps create a more complete refreshment solution for employees working long shifts.
Why Drink Variety Matters in the Workplace
Many businesses focus entirely on coffee when choosing a drinks machine.
However, modern workplaces are made up of:
- Coffee drinkers
- Tea drinkers
- Hot chocolate drinkers
- Employees avoiding caffeine
- Visitors with different preferences
The ability to serve multiple drink types from a single machine can simplify workplace refreshments while improving the overall experience for staff and guests.
This is one reason KLIX remains popular across a wide range of industries.
Which Workplaces Benefit Most from KLIX?
The KLIX drinks range is particularly well suited to:
Offices
Providing employees and visitors with a variety of branded drinks.
Warehouses
Offering convenient refreshments during shifts and break periods.
Manufacturing Sites
Supporting larger workforces with reliable drinks provision.
Hospitals and Healthcare Environments
Providing multiple drink choices with minimal maintenance requirements.
Staff Break Rooms
Creating a simple all-in-one refreshment solution.
