Barista Coffee Machines

An espresso machine is the ideal coffee machine for a cafe. And as the quintessential coffee shop coffee machine, commercial espresso machines produce high-quality coffee, but also require a hands-on approach.

These professional coffee machines for coffee shops can feature 2 or 3 group options, allowing you to make up to 4 or 6 shots at a time. This can accommodate high-demand environments with high-volume coffee output needs.

When choosing an espresso coffee machine for cafe, another consideration is the level of automation. While all of these machines require a trained barista (we include free training upon installation), these machines can differ in the level of control the barista has over variables such as coffee grind, extraction time, and water temperature. Choose a fully manual commercial espresso machine for coffee shop that is more artisanal and looking for the best quality cup of coffee, regardless of how much time or effort it can take.

We also have espresso coffee machines for coffee shop that is looking to streamline the brewing process. These commercial machines have features to automate various functions, making them ideal for busy environments where consistency and speed are crucial.

Cafe Coffee Machine FAQs

Bars, cafes, restaurants and coffee shops all have unique requirements based on their size, client base, and goals. While no single coffee machine will work for all contexts or all cafes, we've compiled some common questions and answers to help you in choosing the perfect coffee machine for shop.

How are traditional espresso machines different to bean to cup machines?

While both types of commercial machines produce delightfully fresh coffee, the workings are vastly different. We've outlined the major differences below:

Espresso Coffee Machines

• Professional espresso machines use ground coffee, so they will require a coffee grinder if you want to be able to use fresh coffee beans, or pre-ground coffee if you don't have a grinder.
• A traditional espresso machine needs to be operated by someone with barista training and knowledge of the coffee-making process. This extends to the cleaning of the machine as well.
• Because of the level of control that these machines give the user, the barista can get creative with using the frothing milk to make coffee art in the foam. It is also easy to offer milk alternatives (like oat milk or almond milk) for this very reason.
• Depending on the group number, an espresso machine for coffee shops can make up to 6 shots of coffee at a time, which is perfect for fast-paced environments or takeaway coffee spots.

Bean to Cup Machines

• As the name suggests, these commercial coffee machines work with whole coffee beans and grind them to deliver drinks straight to the cup, all at the touch of a button.
• For a busy cafe, touch coffee machine like this can ensure that the staff are not held up in the coffee-making process, and have time to focus on other areas of the business (such as waiting tables, cooking, or cleaning).
• This type of coffee shop machine can generally create a variety of different drinks, allowing you to offer your customers many options to choose from as you cater to different tastes. This is usually limited to 2 drinks at a time.
• No major training is required for most of these machines, and some machines include a self-cleaning function as well.

Which commercial coffee machine is right for my cafe?

The type of professional coffee machine you choose depends on various factors, like the capacity of your cafe, the number of customers served daily, which employees will be handling the cafe coffee machine, and how much physical space you have in your cafe.

Answering these questions will help you choose between a table-top automatic cafe coffee maker or a full barista coffee machine for your cafe.

Whichever option you choose, we offer free staff or barista training for your employees to ensure you are equipped to get the best out of your new machine.
