FAQ
This depends on your volume:
- Small cafés (30-50 drinks/day): 1-group machine
- Medium cafés (50-200 drinks/day): 2-group machine
- Busy cafés/restaurants (200+ drinks/day): 3 or 4-group machine
Consider factors like peak hour volume, space constraints, and whether you need automatic or semi-automatic operation.
Quality commercial machines typically last 7-15 years with proper maintenance. High-end models can last even longer! The boiler, pump, and group heads are usually the first components to need replacement.
Semi-automatic machines require baristas to start/stop extraction manually, offering more control but requiring more training. Automatic machines stop extraction at programmed volumes, providing consistency across staff members with varying skill levels.

Invest in commercial espresso equipment that delivers consistent, barista-quality drinks that keep customers energized and focused. The perfect espresso doesn't just satisfy a craving. It creates a loyal customer base & dramatically increases both visit frequency and average spend!

Coffee regulars integrate your café into their daily routine, providing steady morning traffic and consistent afternoon visits. With quality espresso, friendly service, and reliable Wi-Fi, you'll build a foundation of dependable income that powers your growth.
