How to Choose the Right Espresso Coffee Machine for Your Rollout
1. Volume per site
How many drinks each site serves determines group count.
2. Standardisation vs flexibility
Decide whether every site needs an identical setup, or whether configuration should flex by site size and volume.
3. Rollout time
Share your opening or refit schedule with us so we can coordinate delivery and installation to match.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 1, 2, and 3 group espresso machines?
Group count determines how many drinks a machine can pull at once. 1 group suits low-volume sites, 2-group covers most cafés, and 3-group is built for the busiest venues serving constant back-to-back orders.
Do commercial espresso machines need to be plumbed in?
Most commercial espresso machines can be either mains-plumbed or tank-fill, depending on the model. Mains-plumbed suits permanent installations, while tank-fill offers more flexibility where plumbing isn't practical.
What's the difference between a commercial and home espresso machine?
Commercial espresso machines are built for continuous daily use, with larger boilers and more durable components designed to serve many customers back to back. Home espresso machines are designed for occasional use and can't handle that volume or constant heat cycling.
Can I order different espresso machine configurations across multiple sites?
Yes, you can mix group counts and models if your sites have different volume needs. We’ll help you specify the right machine for each location.
