A new partnership aimed at giving business owners greater choice, flexibility and value has hit the ground running.
Family-run Caber Coffee has taken on Scottish distribution for Dr Coffee UK to significantly expand the range of coffee machines it provides to customers, strengthening its position as a leading independent supplier to the market.
The addition of Dr Coffee UK to the Caber Coffee suite of products and services gives customers even more choice and is part of a wider strategic shift to pivot the business in response to evolving challenges in hospitality and offices. In the face of rising operational costs and pressure on margins, the partnership aims to broaden the availability of high-quality, cost-effective solutions that enhance a client’s product offering without compromising on taste.
The relationship followed Caber Coffee’s review of emerging brands at last year’s HOST exhibition in Milan where Dr Coffee impressed due to consistent drink quality, competitive pricing and the brand’s existing UK-based distribution channels. It is already bearing fruit, with over twenty units placed in locations throughout Scotland since the partnership began six months ago, with sales starting in January 2026.
Aberdeen-based Caber Coffee is a leading, independent wholesale company which is renowned for supplying quality freshly roasted ethical coffee, teas, vending ingredients and a range of easy to use and reliable coffee machines, espresso makers and hot beverage equipment. Same or next day response for machine issues ensures an exceptionally high service level whilst tireless efforts are continually made to deliver new and exciting products that fit the budgets of an ever-changing market. The company currently employs ten people and works with clients in a range of sectors including contract catering and hospitality.
Dr Coffee is a globally recognised manufacturer and supplier of commercial and household coffee machines that are high quality, stylish and user-friendly.
Commenting on the project, Caber Coffee Managing Director Findlay Leask said: “Adding more choice to our range thanks to this partnership with Dr Coffee UK is part of a wider promise to support our customers through continuing challenges. New, lower cost machines offering incredible value for money are exactly what our customers are looking for.
“Whilst we are proud to continue offering our previous models from manufacturers we’ve worked with for nearly 40 years, we have been very impressed by the possibilities offered by the range of machines from Dr Coffee, and we are delighted to add them to our portfolio. The collaboration not only enhances our product offering but also reinforces our long-term commitment to helping equip clients with the tools they need to create sustainable, resilient businesses as well as serving great coffee to staff and customers alike.”
Paul Haskey, Distribution Channel Manager for Dr Coffee UK, added “It’s great to have Caber Coffee as our Scottish distributor. The team is renowned for delivering a fantastic level of service and is known for being selective in the range of equipment they offer so we are, of course, delighted to be working with them and supporting Caber Coffee in delivering our range of equipment.
“The Dr Coffee range of machines offers something for all types of business, from showrooms and salons to sports venues, restaurants, bars and offices so to be working in partnership with a distributor who serves such a broad range of clients as Caber Coffee is really exciting for us.”
