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.
